I think Australia won in spite of the surprise selections, not because of them.

I agree chaps.
Little harsh on Pattinson. I thought he was pretty good, without being special.

Lyon doesn't really need them. He relies on ball work rather than assistance from the wicket.

Pattinson being "rested". Aussies maintaining the cotton wool method of injury prevention.
