Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

Jason Behrendorff might be in front of Pattinson.

Very impressive skill set and has recently taken a 9 for in Shield cricket

I like Behrendorff and he swings the ball which is something we lack...he is also very miserly and keeps the runs down..but would Aus play two left arm quicks(Starc).
I reckon thats unlikely.....Pattinson is quicker, does bowl a good outswinger and is handy with the bat...problem is he cant stay on the park and along with Cummins would make the captain
uneasy thinking he has two bowlers who break down regularly...

lefty, tall ad rangy - 1.93 odd. Bowls mid 140s?

Pattinson would be in the selectors mind well and truly before Behrendorff  just for his pace alone. Not that's any put down on Behrendorff, who been bowling beautifully The quartet of Starc, Hazelwood, Cummins and Pattinson could uncover the demons the Poms had in 2013-14 given the extreme pace. Cummins was outstanding on the flat track in India whille Pattinson was brilliant last rolling taking 5/7 rolling Qld for 61.

More mid 130's.

Pattinson needs to stay fit... but he would be ahead of Berendorf. Already shown that he can be damaging at test level.


We will destroy the poms if we have 3 of Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins and Patterson available. It will be exciting to see them all in the same team.

I do not understand why he didn't bowl Maxwell. The guys is very good in the shorter forms of the game.
But I don't understand why Smith doesn't bowl himself or Warner, both of whom bowl decent leg-spin and haven't been seen at the crease in far to long.
With his poor form with the bat in this series, it would do Warner good to bowl and get some confidence up. making a real contribution would be good.

I still wonder why we play guys in India who can't play spin. But I wonder about a lot of things.

i'm looking at all 4 in against the Poms. Maxwell batting at 6 and doing the spin duties.

That'd be nice.....maybe you'd get away with it at the Gabba......but with the rest being all boring drop-ins you just have to have a specialist spinner.

Maxwell may be the go at No.6, but he won't be the main spinner.
