I'm not convinced about Starc. He has the speed which you need for success on the subcontinent but he strays a bit too much on the leg side _ can get away with that on quicker bouncier wickets but you'll be milked for runs in India doing that.

Interesting discussion. I think current Aust side would should beat India last summer. I also think the Aust team from last summer would/should also beat India from last summer if they go again with some common sense and not grinding their bowlers to the ground. I'm not degrading India by any means because at full strength they have a marvelous side but they played their 3rd xi ffs. Australia at full strength shouldn't lose to that especially at the Gabba

Ftr I watched the whole series and at no point until around the 2nd session of day 5 last test that I felt Aus were going to lose. I think that series was a great script for docco

For my mind this is still not the worst of Eng's humiliations down here. To me this team had no chance at all, so I had zero expectations. That wasn't the case for the other diabolickations.

The thing that is pissing me off most of all and grinding my gears like you wouldn't believe.......is the ****ing Indian posters putting the boot in and derailing every thread. **** off.......you've got your own test series going on, go and watch the ****ing thing.

I mean, congrats, you won a series in Aus recently (in the first time in your history) well done. We get it, you're an alright cricket team right now. Kudos. But this is the Ashes......that means that the likes of Burgey, stephen et al get to pay out big.......they've earn't the right too. You don't.

Now go away.

Okay so like, who owns this account?

Mostly good posts and all (welcome back, mystery man!), but no attempt to hide the inside baseball at all.
it's got to be senile sentry i reckon tbh

cringe attempts to bait burgey, dropping in to match threads to stick the boot in to the poms (a reflection of hindutva thought) but couldn't do it on his main because he had the huge sook and said he couldn't come back
