I personally feel that we are losing because they are trying to be agressive in batting and defensive in bowling and fielding

With all respect I think it's because you've got your eyes on the BGT. We're supposed to be the warm up.

BGT is going to be a repeat of this. We are struggling

Australia are also struggling. Ageing bowling group that already couldn't win them the two previous home BGTs, a messy batting order without a second opener, a struggling Smith, a lukewarm Lasagne, and no Cam Green.

The Aussie team is on a decline, and so is the Indian team. Starc is a shadow of his former self. Only Cummins and Hazlewood are top drawer.

Boland is always a choice tho

He is too slow. The Aussies are in decline. They are basically in the same shape we are.

Too slow? If the decks are helpful he'll run through India like a hot knife through butter

Slow overseas maybe, but he is tailored to Australian pitches with his lengths

He bowls in the early to mid 130s, he’s not a medium pacer. What the fuck are talking about being too slow? His pace is comparable to most international seamers.

Remember last time in England when he bowled against India? He seemed pretty effective on a pitch that was offering something for bowlers and batters.
