He's at least got it up to mid 130s in the second over. Think the Deshi pitches offered a bit more carry than this one as well with all the grass they left on them.

I couldn't believe they left him out of the side. He looked twice the bowler Asitha did in that series. He does a lot better against left handers than right handers though.

Khawaja and the middle order are covering up some major patches in this team. Marnus and Smith are on the decline, Warner is on his last legs and head can't bat away from home to save his life. Even if we win this series think the India one will be a big wakeup call.

The big question is for Australia re Warner: even if he has a good home summer can he be trusted on an away Ashes tour?
It's a bit of a Doug Walters 1981 situation: even if he hits a great patch of home form like 19/20 it would be very hard considering his away record, esp in England, to have faith in him to deliver. I suspect though he's such an established member of the side he'll be there still.

Bunch of players made their FC debut in a Test. Mujeeb the most recent.

I think Fidel Edwards had only played a game or two beforehand as well.

I bet they wish they had Walters batting for about 15 minutes at Headingley in 81

He's averaged low 30's since the start of the ashes last summer, also struggled in county Bar the occasional innings.

He must be an up and coming superstar, he's even got Sachin beat on this one.

Warner and Head you're right about. Marnus and Smith are not even close to being a problem though lol

Yeah but that's just form/luck. "Decline" suggests something more permanent/terminal. He's still played good innings in that time.
