Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 2896183, member: 8272"] I'm wary of being too cute and changing a side that is 1-0 up and won by 10 wickets. But you do need to consider guys for conditions. If we were playing on a dust bowl we wouldn't not go with a spinner. If Broad and Anderson swing us out for 90 or Broad gets 8/15 again the cry will be why don't we have swing. The first innings in Brisbane showed if the pitch isn't fast and bouncy which is a chance in Adelaide where it can be back breaking for nothing. Then you need to be moving it and Anderson and Broad did that much better than our attack. When it quickened up we took control. I am not too sure who'd I take out to be honest. Hazelwood and Starc were very good last year in Adelaide. But I thought Bird was the least effective. Against New Zealand two years ago Hazelwood was excellent. That was a hard Test for batsmen with a highest score of 66. It was the first time since 1993 no 100's in Adelaide so things can go the bowlers way there- it was a three day Test. Cummins was our best bowler in Brisbane with Lyon. If they do change the side it won't be because of form just suitability. Which maybe isn't a good enough reason to change a side when they're all very good bowlers. [/QUOTE]
