    Hmmm, not supporting my gut feeling that the Aussie bowlers are awesome ...

    @booboo

    It's a good article but, a couple of things. Australia played 10 tests in 2018. 1 at home to England, 4 away to South Africa, 2 away to Pakistan, 3 at home to India. India and South Africa are the two best teams in the world and UAE is a difficult place for pace bowlers. Also Australia doesn't have the depth. Siddle/Sayers are probably good enough but are ageing/unproven. Then they have Mitchell Marsh as sixth bowling option. Also their batsmen get skittled so they have less of a rest. Also it's only one calendar year.

    It's best to just look at the player rankings:

    3). Cummins
    11). Hazlewood
    14). Lyon
    18). Starc

    With the bat it is:

    3. Smith
    6. Warner

    11. Khawaja
    36. S Marsh
    45. Paine
    48. Hanscomb

    Yup. That'll be one of main reasons their bowling figures in overs 40-80 have dropped so much

    okay, good point.

    India still rattling along thanks to Pujara, but Kohli back in the shed does make it look better for Australia

    Hazlewood bowling bloody well.

    @mariner4life he beat a lot of outside edges in Melbourne. A touch unlucky but you make your own ultimately.

    Starc has been similar at times but too inconsistent.

    India scoring at a pretty good rate considering their strategy will be to bat for two and a half days.

    Was impressed with what I saw of Argawal. Except for the dumb way to get out.

    Pleased to see Pujara make more runs - understated batsman - all Test Class, all test temperament, just a machine.

    He's a more important wicket than Kohli

    Warne really has it in for Starc at the moment. Obviously not a fan
