I'd rather have Maxwell in the side because I think Australia should be massively prioritising the sixth batsman over the fifth bowler at the moment, but I'd definitely find a lot more use for Lubbers than Maxwell with the ball even though he might not be a massively superior bowler. Lyon's existence would make Maxwell's bowling virtually redundant IMO; I'd only use him about as much as Head has been used.
From what I heard, he eats no carbs - no roti and rice.

Some bad form from a couple of Australians here at the end of Day 4. And one kiwi basking immodestly in the all too rare spotlight his team receives. Well done to us, commiserations to Pat Cummins. Whichever way you cut it, this Aus bowling attack has not been able to swamp and overwhelm one of the weakest Ind batting sides to tour in the last 20 yrs. I hope they do better versus the little Lankans.

Our tail is bad enough without Kuldeep in it. Can't drop jaddu,hes been very good.
Yeah waht's your problem with Jadeja? Ashwin has proven he cannot operate as a lone spinner without getting injured/crapping the pants in the second innings. He should never be picked again for that role ever and never if it comes down to him vs Jadeja who has already proven to be a superior spinner at home and even with the limited sample size, a superior spinner overseas. Looking at the amount of wickets Lyon got in the first 2 matches, Jadeja would have likely had 2 Ten-fors with 4 fifers in this series had he not been so criminally under--rated by the ******s United.

This shows the stupidity and arrogance of Australia cancelling then Bangadesh tour. Not only was it a kick in the face to the Future Tours Programme, and stopped a potentially quite interesting series, it also stopped a valuable opportunity for Australian batsman (most of whom are better at white ball batting) to experience batting time against not such a strong attack. In the second innings of that second test most of the batsman got a start, but didn't appear to be able to bat time. Some of them need time in the middle

Ashwin was great in the first test I thought, but yeah his body clearly couldn't handle bowling that long spell, which is one of the main job a spinner is supposed to perform. Jadeja has shown enough to be the first one picked and if we go for two spinners then we can choose between Ashwin and Kuldeep. I'd go for Ashwin if he's fully fit, but that's never a guarantee.
