I love test cricket. It is the only form of Cricket I like to watch BUT....
It has to be competitive. The Current series against Pakistan is not competitive because one of Pakistan's bowlers ( who is quite good and bowls over 150k) is not playing test cricket but big bash. He would have been crucial against a team who is known for being suspect against pace. ( Lets face it we all are). They are also missing their best spinner and another pace bowler.
As this test shows you need your best bowling unit in Australia. Winning a test or even not losing means getting the Opposition out reasonably cheaply. Pakistan has a reasonable batting side but they faced the pressure of Australia getting too many runs.
At present there are three good test teams and the rest and soso.
That is why test cricket is dying.
