It's not a case of suiting the bowling attack, it's a case of doubling down on the idea that people like Johnson and Starc with the X Factor of their bowling will help win sessions that end up winning the match. A lot of the matches Australia win at home, it's usually based on one really bad session by the opposition.I mean I think Mitchell Johnson would like to have a word with anyone who thinks that the pitches were "suited" to our bowlers.
I wouldn't rule out seeing them drop Khawaja for Marsh as a 'horses for courses' thing.You'd think Renshaw will have played himself into the First Test side for India here. Marsh will go as the sub batsman now.
