God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[LP]

Been injury prone and I think the selectors want some more long game minutes from him, agree he is lively and bowls a good length. Its very hard to prise Starc and crew out of the team given the boys club that exists.....interesting that Pattinson has made the tour, if fit he might be the one bowler that may oust Starc from the team.

Pattinson and Richardson can both swing the ball late at good pace, Pattinson was the bowler most feared by the Pommie top order batsmen.

I think Starc cleaning up the tail with old ball reverse swing is valuable but over-rated, I'd much rather guys who can knock over the top end and let Lyon clean up the dregs while the others have a break.
