Well we're now seeing how desperate Australia are without the fight and experience of Hussey and Ponting in that middle order, Hughes just looks terrible out there, Wade is a joke against spin, Watson flatters to deceive again and Cowan has always looked average to me, Warner dug in but again you just get the feeling that not having the ball come on to his bat leaves him in no mans land.
Pattinson done better than i expected but Lyon really took a beating, it got to the point where i almost felt sorry for the lad, the question now is whether he can come back from that and show some fight in the next test!!, then we have Starc who was the talk of the town against us in the recent ODI's but here he's been found out, those yorkers just don't cut it on these tracks.
Clark once again showed what a top batsman he is but he can't do it all on his own, just like Pattinson couldn't when Aus bowled.
In closing if this series goes the way i think it could go (India whitewash) then i fear for Aus when they play the back to back Ashes, i really do, this side is just not good enough to compete with them right now imo, the bowling is decent in the right conditions but the batting just doesn't breed confidence to me.
