Excluding the sacking of the coach, this has been one of the best preparations by an Australian team in recent years. The whole squad has practically been playing in England for the past two months in either county cricket or on the A tour. This is completely different to previous tours where the team arrived two weeks before the first test.
Australia not as weak as stated, England not a strong as stated.
Pattinson and Starc are close to the most lethal combination in world cricket and are at the precipice of their prime. This will be the watershed tour. I think this is also the time for Lyon to arrive on the big stage.
The batsmen just need to score 300 or so per innings. The bowlers will do the rest.
I'll see your Pattinson and Starc and raise you Steyn and Philander, or Steyn and Morkel. Take your pick
