Pretty good knock from Handscomb but, as Bill Lawry would say, “He’s a Victorian!”
Bad luck the selectors couldn’t fit more Victorians into the eleven.
Seriously though, what’s the story with one fast bowler and three spinners? Green would be handy as would Boland stifling the scoring.
Ill show my lack of knowledge here but they showed the pitch with decent cracks in it before the start of the game. If Hazlewood and Starc were fit surely their express bowling would have caused chaos on that pitch? Could Boland have done some damage on it? Their quick got the most wickets, the two spinners shared the rest. The young fella Murphy will be under immense pressure to back up his first test performance. Then again the majority of our batsmen just can't put scores on the board.
