I am more concerned with the bowling. They are pretty good when things are going there way, but it feels when someone takes the attack to them they are unable to figure out how to stop it. Having a whole team come hard at them might show them up. Can't wait to see which way this goes though.
Yeah, England even managed to bazball light us in the last 2 ashes tests last year at a few points and we looked clueless, luckily we where way on top in both games to start. Don't wanna see what happens when a more confident ENG lineup do it at home.
I don't feel like Aus are anything special but they are probably better than everyone else atm. India at full strength and home conditions would obviously destroy them though
India without Bumrah and Pant aren't really the same team though.
As much as I hate to say it, Aus picking Travis Head could have won them the series.
Series loss wasn't on the cards.
You guys didn't have pant, iyer or bumrah for most of that series tbf. Missing your two best bats abd your best pacer will make any team look crap.
Pant and Bumrah really can’t be included in this conversation anymore. They’re out
Bumrah possibly as it was a stress related injury but Pant's was an accident, come on, that is just unlucky.
Going forward I just don’t think you can include them in potential line ups and so forth
Daily reminder that Head > Smith and Cummins.
That is different but we are talking about teams for this cycle and I think it is fair to include them given how crucial they were to the team for so long in this cycle.
It is a tragedy, and in hindsight, India didn't get the results they should have when they had their all-star team.
