They wont become Lara with the bat, but they will learn when to not play the dumb slog, IMO.the weight of many tailenders entire batting careers suggests not tbh

agreed on this pair. i really like faheem as a solid allrounder who balances the side really well but he can't be left as much to do as these guys are capable of, even if he's played some impressive knocks on tour.They'll be better off slogging if anything. Shaheen has even developed some hitting pedigree these days. Have the men out there whom we'd ideally want though. Loads riding on them to not lose.

Lyon the biggest indictment there, though I suppose you expect Starc to get stuff done if it’s wearing too.Australia's bowling averages in the 4th innings in the last 2 years (inclusive of this innings in progress):
Cummins - 13 wickets @ 25.15
Lyon - 9 wickets @ 40.77
Green - 5 wickets @ 27.80
Starc - 4 wickets @ 89.00
Swepson - 0/123 and building

Yeah it's a major issue. Not sure what's the cause either. Starc's figures in particular are disgusting.Australia's bowling averages in the 4th innings in the last 2 years (inclusive of this innings in progress):

Once the uncles are batting, sure.Give Smith an over imo. Worked well only recently.
RubbishYou gotta question the tactics here. Apart from one burst, I have hardly seen an attempt at getting the fast bowlers to bowl reverse swing at these two. Not very good captaincy from Cummins, I am afraid. Added to the selections and even the field placements, I think we are seeing he is prone to the galaxy brain antics that does not bode well at all for Australia.
