Anyone else wonder wtf we gonna do when Lyon, Starc and Hazlewood are gone in 2 years?

Lyon has Murphy and Rocchiccioli
The pacemen are anyone's guess aside from Bartlett. Richardson breaks down a lot, O'Neill is decent but slow and doesn't have the McGrath accuracy to compensate

 

[Mr Meow]

Boland is bowling okay. Surely Cummins has to bring himself on at the other end soon.

Getting the ball to move off the deck.

Who are you referring to, I'm curious to know?

Who will our next spinner be for starters?

Todd Murphy

 

[Tassieboy]

We are missing Green badly.

 

[Borisdog]

I know Lyon isn't looking threatening at all but I've never seen Murphy turn the ball a millimetre

I thought he bowled beautifully in India, and has a great arm ball. Which got Kohli once at least.

Accuracy is the most important thing to learn, spin you can develop.

He should get the gig upon Lyon’s retirement, unless a once in a lifetime player jumps out.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lyon is turning as much as Kuhermann out there

Marsh is spinning them more.

 

[NYRB]

This will rile a few West Aussies

He hasn’t even been the best domestic spinner this year.

The pitch is not doing much it’s true but we’ve had a pitch in Perth that was lively for a day and a half and neither team could handle it then flattened out, a pitch in Adelaide that India couldn’t handle, only really Travis head and to an extent Marnus could handle.

Again in Brisbane it was fairly bowler friendly and only Head found it ‘easy’ - Smith had to fight for every run for the first 4 hours he was out there and it was only at the back end of their innings that Jadeja found form along with Rahul.

They don’t all have to be lively all the way through though admittedly this one is a bit turgid

 

[MJG14]

Excellent over from Boland.

 

[Some Idiot]

Boland hitting good areas

 

[danielnajdek]

Tbf they haven't nicked anything today.

 

[Whiskers]

Wicket surely coming soon.

 

[Chism]

This will file a few West Aussies

Sandgropers and the truth never go hand in hand.

Marsh is rubbish.

 

[Speck]

Good bowling and good set up as well. This is a much better plan stopping the easy runs.

 

[Tassieboy]

Great little spell from Boland.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Boland’s getting more deviation than our spinner.

 

[Tassieboy]

Sandgropers and the truth never go hand in hand.

Marsh is rubbish.

Marsh is a fraud.

 

[hawkman]

Getting the ball to move off the deck.

Almost like it is the other bowlers and not the pitch

 

[Borisdog]

He hasn’t even been the best domestic spinner this year.

Maybe not, but he’s still the best prospect.

Your usual selection criteria would have us playing 46 players in 5 tests Lukey.

 

[Marshland]

The only way we'll get a wicket is if it's a hit wicket.

 

[Plugger35]

Every time Australia struggles to take a wicket the pitch complaints come out, no one complained in the last session yesterday.

I think it's a good test pitch that rewards good bowling and good batting, India are batting better now than Australia are bowling.
