If he does ok with the ball too, and that's all we want, he'll be a handy aquistition. Just need Cummins fit and the side will be ripe for the Ashes next year.
We'll get wiped in India on their crape, doctored-up pitches, but thinking we'll pump the Poms. The Perth and Hobart debacles, especially the latter, have been such a blessing in disquise. Forced us to change things up.
Wont need to doctor their pitches even this time...Kholi and crew will take Okeefe, Lyon etc apart.......Okeefe hardly spun a ball today, reckon we would have been better going the three pace bowlers.
Cartwright looked good batting but his bowling is very friendly and he will be buffet material in India.....its a pity Mitch Marsh cant improve his batting technique as he is the only allrounder we have who can
bowl with any menace..
Think we should beat England on our own soil, though I wont want to see Moeen Ali batting at 7 or 8 like he did in the previous English ashes series....dont think we can bowl them out with our present lineup if that happens.
When Starc and Hazlewood are not bowling we dont look like taking a wicket...Azhar Ali has worked out if you see them off its pretty easy work, need to get Pat Cummins into the team and on the tour of India and sharpen him up for the Poms....be great if Pattinson was also available and we had the 4 big quicks playing vs the English.
