[The Bedge]

I thought I read somewhere, there are injury concerns around Pattinson?

Yeah rib injury, and Siddle also has an ankle I think, presumably why they took 2 extra pacemen

I don't think Hazelwood actually achieves much swing and that's one of the reasons why we lost the Ashes.

I reckon it's amusing that the bowling has attracted so much comment while the batsmen appear to have got off Scott free. It's pretty hard to take 20 wickets when you are being rock and rolled for 60. You're in the field more often, you've got bugger all runs to play with and you're bowling a Duke.

Marshall, Holding, Roberts and Garner couldn't have bowled us to victory with shit totals we made in those lost tests.

Yep, because we play on roads over here.

Nathan Lyon wants to be Australia's one spinner. He lasted 2 games

Going over to NZ anyway at the same time as the ODI's due to NSW playing WA in a shield match over there....

thats probably why he wasn't selected. Give him a 4 day game before the tests.

Bird playing ahead of Pattinson in the first test.

Yeah, that pace attack feels a little underwhelming

[PatowalongaPirate]

Yeah, that pace attack feels a little underwhelming

Probably because there is no genuine pace.

[bennymacca]

We are really going to find out how good the aussies are, look at that pitch! (well the parts not covered anyway)

So with Smith saying Pattinson looked short of match fitness will they allow him and Sayers to head back for the Shield game on the weekend?

Yeah right. Didn't they pull Pattinson out of a shield game mid match to fly him to NZ? And now they are saying he is short on match fitness????

Aussie logic.

Possibly quite a good attack for that deck.
Siddle and Bird have the potential to thrive on that deck.
It's almost a New Zealand-like attack.
Plus, we have the better spinner.

Yeah i think Pattinson needed to play, only bowler we have that can bowl high 140's consistently. Might struggle to take 20 wickets IMO (Hopefully wrong)
Really looking forward to watching how our batsman go, we all know how vulnerable we are against the swinging ball. Expecting Vogues to continue on his run feast after hitting another ton in NZ shield game last week

[Dogwatcher]

Agreed, Pattinson was the preferred option.
I'm just suggesting the attack's not as bad as it looks.
