The Aussie attack

In an email to me my uncle Neil pointed out something which should have been very obvious about the Australian bowling attack. He reminded me of those Australian bowlers who have previously had the most success on English soil - players like Terry Alderman (83 wickets in England at 19.33) and Paul Reiffel (30 wickets at 22.96). Honest toilers who relied on swing and seam rather than pace. The fact that the Australian selection policy seems to be to find bowlers faster than the English is a reflection of their disarray. A thinking selection panel would have turned to traditional Australian virtues instead of trying to copy English ones.
