Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

It's just not good enough Test Match bowling from the leftys....as usual from Starc. Hazelwood bowled well. Trouble is, Starc always seems to bowl just enough wicket takers to get him a couple of ......and a whole lot of garbage with no pressure on for the rest of it. Honestly, I'd prefer Sidds & Hazelwood in England. The pitches are not going to suit Johnson at all, deliberately of course, but you can't afford to have both he & Starc in the same side.
I hope Cummings gets a run in one of the Tests....although if he does it will be if we are well under the pump & 1 or tests down !
Particularly on pitches like that
Starc and Johnson are wicket takers but they are expensive and not suited to pitches that take the pace out of the ball. Siddle tying up one end would put more pressure on the batsmen.
