I would have dropped Khawaja,Labs and even rested Starc earlier but who to replace with just not sure and can not make to many changes seeing we are 1 all in the series.Oh I forgot your favorite to drop Marsh,lol.

I’d be opening with Boland and Cummins. We cannot have Starc wasting the new pill

I think you're right.. or something perhaps along the lines of "get a second 5 over spell right before the new-ball loses it's hardness" instead of just ~7 overs now.
Quite possibly. It might allow for a longer second spell, sooner.
And where did I say he's supposed to be the finished product? so sensitive lol
I noticed that too...
That said, at 38, he's not exactly in peak physical condition.
It’s been a very good test pitch, as it has been for a number of years. There’s nothing worse than the roads of yesteryear.

Slightly concerning how skittish our no.2 and no.3 batsmen are looking, on what is meant to be a relatively batting-kind surface.
Need to just push through this new ball. We did not use the new ball like this.

Colin McDonald and Arthur Morris?
Stating he has things to work on. No shit Sherlock.
You should be the Australian coach with that level of brilliant analysis on a kid in his debut game against the form bowler in the world. He's been the most comfortable of all of Australia's players against him too.

Still would not drop Khawaja or Labs yet. Marsh can go I’d actually be fine us trying Webster in Sydney as he should play in SL anyway. Starc is continually cooked every summer by the 4th test
I thought it might be a bit more two-paced by now. Maybe there was enough moisture and live grass roots for the heat on day one to not count for much, and its been cooler since. I wonder if it would be a different story had day two been the hot, drying day.
Australia's great young hope failed, so much for ch 7s hyping up of him
Bring back McSweeny

McWeeney is better.
Bumrah's performance this series has got to be the best bowling from a visitor to Aus I can recall. Can anybody think of a better performance?
He is though? Dusty was a much better player, every single club if given the option of having a clone of them on their list right now would pick Dusty.

This is a fraction too much on the flat side for me, but it was expected to be honest
