OZ will try to counter Archer...

By unleashing Mitchell Starc on him when he comes in to bat. He too can be hurt like Smith...savagery at its best.
cool

So the thinking is that the game stands to profit from an escalation of the 'feud'?

Some here think that Archer's savagery was justified because Cummins started the feud when he drew first blood by bouncing at Archer during his turn at bat.

Very surprising to me that Australia hasn't played Starc. Hope he's in the next Test.

Starc hasn't been going well in Test cricket of late. Siddle hasn't done much wrong in the Ashes so far. I reckon Pattinson will be back in if any replacement is needed.

They should watch the tape of Lilee vs Sobers in Rest of the World match.
See how Sobers schooled him.

I am sure Dukesie has the tapes.

Holding was quoting some stats that Starc averages 70+ agains the top 5 batsmen (batting order) and averages 4 against the bottom 5. Suggestion that Starc is a tailend bully.

Well...Archer is a tailender that is causing trouble... cool

Archer is the Grinning Assassin. Deceptively cool, and explosive.

Lets see how he fares in the rest of the series.
