Don't get me wrong I'm a big Jackson Bird fan i just think he isn't going to do what Australia are expecting him to do.

with KP lacking fitness and likely to struggle on his return.

Dont rule him out even with injury. He can be a freak of nature sometimes!!!!

Jackson Bird bowls 81-84 mph?

Praveen Kumar who was 77-80mph did well back in 2010.

Bird's considerably taller, so there's no reason why he won't be successful.

The key to Jackson Birds bowling is he uses the lost art of the cutter... Rolling the fingers across the seam and getting the ball to move off the wicket.. Much harder to play than swing

Oh I'm not saying he won't be but for me i don't think he is gonna be the 'secret weapon' Australia are hoping for. I hope to be wrong.

He looks a decent but unremarkable seamer to me...but then, so did Terry Alderman and Carl Rackemann in 1989!  If he had a bit more experience in English conditions, I could actually see where people are coming from - he certainly gets the ball to talk - but I wonder if he might struggle to get his lengths quite right.  I'm also not sure how he makes the test side over Pattinson, Starc, Siddle and Harris!

If that is the case then we may as well send over the RCC U/15's to play for the ashes

He plays for Tasmania. You can't get conditions closer to English than there!

He allegedly punched Joe Root. He's nearly had as many infractions as runs!

Do Tasmans generally whinge, get passive aggressive in queues and drink warm beer?

Bird will always get a look in if the aussies go with this rotation caper again. Plus Harris will break down midway in the 1st test he plays.
