Re: Australia's Bowling Depth
My take on it is this - at the moment you seem to have a decent group of bowlers, many of who are suited to one form of the game or the other. Many of them are also able to switch between formats which is always handy. However, a fair few of them are largely untested in foreign climes, especially those places which tend to produce flat wickets or pitches that suit spinners.
Bowling well at home, against weak or mentally shot opposition is one thing. Playing against a strong team on their patch is another. Both the Windies and Pakistani batting line ups are weak (for various reasons) you should be doing well against them.
As I also said, some of these bowlers are very new to the international scene. It takes time to videos and analysis to filter back to opposition coaches. The acid test is always around 18 months after their début. Can they still produce or will they get worked out?
The key to any attack is adaptability and players who compliment each other. You appear to have that - pace, swing, left arm, hustle/bustle and players who bowl a heavy ball. Get them all fit and firing and they will be a handful but as I said give it 18 months or so and then see where you are.
