Pantatunga does that, England are called bazballers for a reason by the way

This pitch is quick. Archer, Stokes are skillful bowlers.  Not just pace. Wood can unsettle you. Carse and Atkinson have great record already.

in Aus?

It's a mental block can England overcome that if they overcome that then its will be a super series

That's how Pujara won us 2 BGTs in Aus though. Lets see what Eng do here

Carse took 10fer in NZ. In Australia they will be more dangerous.

Thing is ,in Aus if you land it properly you can certainly get most out of the surface 

You don't have to be big names always

Shield cricket has many of them,where from these Aussie backups have come in

Carse and Atkinson can really do more damage than Wood ,Archer actually

Pujara wouldn't have won without others like pant and Sundar hitting out. At max he could have helped us draw. Our batsmen were playing agressive around Pujara.

 

Our batsmen like Sachin, dravid, laxman tried pujaras approach in previous series and at best we got draws.

 

It was not until we started attacking batting that we actually won series in Australia. Now way we would have chased 300+ with everyone following Pujaras approach

Yea we are under-estimating the potency of English bowling. THey are all strong. They can hit the deck. Archer and Stokes can move the ball as well.  We had one bowler Bumrah completely rattling them . They looked clueless.

You need both. Pant could attack due to solidity at other end too along with bowlers tiring
