Great win by the Aussies after the Poms showed a bit of fight.
I'm surprised that some folk don't seem to understand the importance of a balanced bowling attack and how the pressure created by Starc's pace, line and length helps create wickets for the other bowlers. In that context, Green's ability to bowl 15 odd overs without diminishing the pressure on the batters is a huge positive for the future of our Test team. He does need to make runs though.
Nathan Lyon's performance was extraordinary, even if it took him a while to crack the 400th barrier. Now that he's passed that milestone, I expect that he will have a great series.
The Poms will be a different side with Anderson and Broad in the 11 but you have to ask why they weren't in the lineup for the first Test :
