Starc and Hazlewood for Siddle and Harris

[MK55]

Australia have included Starc and Hazlewood as replacements in the playing 11. This is the fastest bowling combination of Australia at the moment. I have seen Starc hit the higher 140s consistently in their recent series against SA. Hazlewood is capable of bowling in the lower to mid 140's and we all know what Johnson is capable of. Exciting stuff for our Batsmen!

Starc was pretty average test bowler from what I have seen. No Harris is massive blow for Aussies .Even Johnson effectiveness is affected massively when Harris isn't playing We really should try to capitalize on this .

Massive blow for the Aussies, Harris may not be very fast but he is damn good man. Starc is pretty bad in tests. He's a gun bowler in LOIs though, can bowl yorkers at will.

Harris injured again

Harris is being rested for the 3rd test. Can't play back to back tests

it seems like starc was bowling really well in shield games :nervous:

[MK55]

Siddle has been struggling for quite a while. Hazlewood can swing the ball and can exploit the bounce of the wicket at pace. Agreed Harris is a better test bowler than Starc. However, if ever there was a place to make up for that deficiency, it is Gabba. Overall I dont think the bowling attack has weakened. On the contrary I feel its gonna make it more challenging.

Massive blow for the Aussies' date=' Harris may not be very fast but he is damn good man. Starc is pretty bad in tests.

He's got a terrific action, keeps the seam upright, swings the ball both ways and can bowl 145+. If he improves his accuracy (which most non-Indian bowlers tend to do over time), he could be devastating.

Harris is being played, rotated how flintoff was during the odis vs India in 2007 .whichever match he played, England won

[brendan07]

Harris will play Boxing Day and the Sydney test, Starc won't play.
