Where is the Beau Webster: Are you on board with him thread?
It's good to see a couple of Shield journeymen get a crack on the Test stage.
YES
BUT still needs to prove himself on grounds outside of Australia

Imagine if Boland gets 10 wickets for the match….

He could be piloting the Hindenburg and I’d be on board with Sir Boland

What was the deal with his shit series away against England? Looked done on that tour. Is he just a juiced up Aussie wicket specialist?
Absolutely on board - probably my favourite bowler in world cricket at the moment.
Actual Batsmen who value their wicket are his bunnies. He's up with the best in the world on good pitches. Such a brilliant seam bowler in favourable conditions.
On flat roads, he doesn't have a weapon other than his accuracy, and he doesn't seem to have any strategy against the sloggers - the "Bazball" English took to him by ignoring traditional shots, running down the wicket and lofting over fieldsmen, lap shots and ramps, etc. His accuracy and consistency was turned into a weakness. He's not fast enough to trouble them with bounce, so without sideways movement he needs another trick (change of pace and sleight of hand variations).
He's the 4th pace bowler, much like Fleming was stuck behind McGrath/Lee/Gillespie - he'll retire 50 tests and 200 wickets short of where he could have.

I think England was a case of them a) producing pitches (on small grounds that don’t suit him and b) that being the first time he’s really had to deal with that. I’ll add in c) England playing the style they have has done that to a few and b) some of the tactics/ other bowlers also let him down badly.
Yeah. He's a bit advanced in age too be anything beyond a next 1 ro 2 season proposition.

His strength is his line and length and it's also his weakness
If you attack him he struggles and the Poms did
Flat wickets short boundaries

Never realised but Boland has taken the most wickets for Victoria in shield cricket.
