The coming West Indies series is really only a risk to Australia if we don't make enough runs against the Windie's reasonable but shallow bowling attack. The Windies have two erratic bowlers who vary from very average to excellent but not much to back them up with.
Losing the batting of Johnson and Starc is a bigger loss for the coming months than the loss of their bowling.
Windies will be lucky to exceed 250 in any innings this series IMO....their batting is woeful...if the Marsh Bros and Voges cant make runs vs these chumps then they might as well give up playing cricket.
