By next year their bowling attack will probably still be:

Hazlewood 34
Starc 35
Cummins 32 (obviously still brilliant)
Lyon 38

We're 12 months out from the Ashes - they have a whole Test summer (and a difficult one against India) to get through. Not sure they will be as strong as they have been in the previous series
I'm confident we can compete against their bowling. I'm just concerned about ours.

The last three tours have seen us consistently struggle to take wickets. Would be great if we can go there with a bowling attack that can actually threaten consistently, with a few options. Wood and archer would help.

I don't think it is as simple as being able to bowl above 90 but certainly we need bowlers who don't rely on swing and excessive seam movement.

Aa others have said, Atkinson looks good. I quite liked Mahmood but injuries seem to have crippled him.
