Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[ElwoodBlues1]

Yes, Maxwell looked at home and deserves first go in the Ashes series. I wouldn't mind going 4 quicks, Starc, Hazelwood, Cummind and Pattinson with Maxwell in the First Test, although Lyon's done a great job. Batting will look alot stronger at home with each position covered. Indian conditions are so foreign to most of our batsmen. Bar the 3rd Test it was a tough low scoring series so not worried so much batting averages in the series. I thought we'd be whitewashed totally, like every other country has been in India, but to make such a tight contest was very encouraging.

I agree...be the 4 quicks for me vs the Poms, especially if Ali is batting down the order at 7 or 8 as their frontline spinner...we need the firepower to clean up their tail and
not give cheap late order runs away. India got way too many runs from their bowling allrounder types and from the keeper...Pattinson can also bat a bit as he showed in the shield final...
