Good.
That's a sign of a team on the rise and chasing victory, not accepting the status quo to try and be nice (like the Crows did last year).
Bump.
Still doesn't look threatening.

This thread was born out of ignorance in the first place, but to indulge this bump, are there any reasonable replacements who are actually fit? Who should come in for him?

Probably not the greatest conditions for bowling to be fair though
Did cross my mind too though

Would have given Hilfy a go personally

He looks ok but still not back to where he was when he was bowling 145km/h give or take. He'll be hoping he gets some reverse later in the game as the seam wont last long on that wicket.

I agree, actually thought he said his pace was back up to where it was. That is the biggest worry

He bowled pretty well on the first day IMO. Pace looked up from where it was 6 months ago so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. Was NOT a good wicket for bowlers.

It was nowhere near 140-145kmph and that's tbe issue

No, he did exceed 140 km/h at times but he didn't get up to 145 km/h admittedly.

That is a problem as lets say he has a max of 142...that is averaging mid to low 130's...that is what got him dropped! Too slow, not enough tricks to be that slow.
I actually thought he bowled reasonably well on a road. Hard to judge a bowler on this wicket.
Anyone fit.
When they are, Cummins, Bird, Pattinson, Starc, just about anyone, has to be in front of him.

Cummins and Starc are fit, yet Siddle is still playing ahead of both.
Starc is good for one or two good yorkers an innings but besides that does not look all that great.
Cummins will be terrific but we need to let him play a few FC matches and get his body right before rushing him back.

So in other words nobody who is currently fit is better than him.

Starc or Hilfenhaus surely have to be picked next test. We tried Siddle, hasn't worked.

I suspect Starc might come in for one of the spinners.

On these pitches? Maxwell for Lyon, Starc for Siddle. We need a genuine wicket taker.

A loss will definitely have selectors scratching their heads. It would seem Johnson and his genuine pace is the only thing really working.
