Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[Professer E]

Yep LP, greatly annoyed at how we needed to be shown how to bowl on this deck,
but I feel the field placements were a bit off and we always seemed to be chasing the game once the new bloke got off to a flier.

Hazlewood,  who I really like as a test bowler has lacked penetration and Starc is underwhelming. He doesn't look hungry and his pace is down.  His second innings was poor,  and continues a run of being poor after a big first innings effort.  He just doesn't come up, not unexpected after 177 overs.

I'd replace Starc next test,  he's cooked.  How's Neser going,  or Behrendorff or Tremain?

Harris and Finch are poor close in fielders, an area Handscombe excelled in.  The Indians made all those half chances but our Muppet's seemed to pick out the fielders with alarming regularity. Easier to take 'em in close if they hit it into your hands...

Can't believe the soft dismissals,  the blokes getting set and getting out.  Cameos don't win matches.
