Our bowling has a lot of potential. However, they don't seem to be making early breakthroughs. The numbers in the paper today are quite damning.
For all of that, I really do see our quicks as a potential positive. We need to have our guys bowling with as much discipline as the Indian quicks, who have bowled magnificently. I would also consider giving one or two of the other guys a game, as there are some quicks out there who could really make a difference: James Pattinson, Chris Tremaine and Scott Boland come to mind. There are others.
Nathan Lyon is our best performed finger spinner in history.
However, there are pitches where he could do with help. I like the idea of playing a leggie.
Like to see Pattinson and Jhye Richardson get a run. Starc and Hazelwood aren't fully doing the job. Pattinson has 70 wickets from 17 Tests, @ 26.15, strike rate 48, as well as averaging 27.6 with the bat, higher than Mitch Marsh.
As for the batting, Khawaja to open, Kurtis Patterson to no.3, Burns in, drop Finch and M.Marsh
