He then backed the Australian bowlers to neutralize the threat of BabarAzam in the coming matches.
It would be nice to get into their middle-order early and Starc and Richo[Kane Richardson] have the weapons to do that. Conditions in Canberra canbe different and the same for Perth. So we are excited for the next twogames ahead and hopefully we don’t have to worry about one player inparticular.
