Yeah for sure and I can't see how the addition of any other bowler to the attack would change that, tbh. It's flattened out into a decent deck so, whilst the Aussies got the worst of the conditions, for that reason fans will need to adjust their expectations a bit.
Yep AWTA.
uh anyone for mj bro
DWTA, he may swing a ball/break Smith's face.
Would be annoying beyond all comprehension.
Na I reckon unless it's a particularly bouncy pitch where he can also bowl super aggressively at the batsmen, the Johnson you're describing most often wouldn't cut it (recently in Sri Lanka is a good example, he bowled fairly tighly yet really didn't have much of an impact). He has been pretty much worked out when he just bowls like that these days. Unless he gets some late swing and actually works out how he is doing it (so unlikely!), his position in the team should really start to be challenged imo.
Tasteful use of his post-bollocking photo from yesterday.
That abbreviation won't catch on.Michael Clarke WAFL (legend)!!!
Compared to NZ? Yeh

It's all my fault. I've more or less forced everyone into my line of thinking that we can't play Siddle and MJ in the same attack.
Nah, Australia does have a good attack by world standards; there's no doubting that. It's just not as good as it's been at any other point I've been following cricket, and even further back than that. It's not what fans have come to expect, even of non-Warne/McGrath bowlers. Whether that just makes fans spoilt or this lot a bunch of underachieving failures is of course up to interpretation.
Bull. They didn't step up in the Ashes. That's it.Compared to NZ? Yeh
Seriously though, too inconsistent and haven't stepped up enough in trying times.
