Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[ElwoodBlues1]

Pattinson is a point of difference with his away movement at pace. 

Hazelwood and Starc need to do a lot more with the pill,  although Josh at least  has accuracy going for him. Josh is more a defensive style of bowler.

Sayers and Behrendorff move the ball around a lot,  especially Sayers. He has to be considered for England.

The dead pitches we serve up have rendered Hazelwood's bowling pedestrian. His height and pace are mitigated by this.  Even still,  he doesn't look likely to run through a side.  I like him but can't see him causing problems for India in Sydney.

I like both Sayers and Behrendorff but both have been injured and the latter is injury prone.....
Hazlewood bowls a lot of no play balls.....one of the reason Bumrah has been successful is he is at the stumps and even when he isnt you are not sure if the ball is coming back in or not.
I think with Hazlewood you can play him on line alone as he doesnt get much movement so anything not on the stumps is just going to be let go...he bowls a lot of maiden's  and is economical but for me thats because the batsman are letting the ball go so often..I probably prefer Pattinson for that reason as he swings the ball away, is more proactive with his attack on the batsman and is looking to take take wickets rather than fustrate batsman. Players like Pujara need bowling out rather than waiting for a bad shot and I feel Hazlewood bowls for the bad shot only.....
