Meanwhile, Australia’s bowling lineup may look aged on paper, but Josh Hazlewood dismissed concerns and emphasized that the maturity and collective knowledge of the attack make it a formidable unit ahead of the first Test in Perth.
Josh Hazlewood was quoted as saying by AAP: “There'll come a time no doubt (when the team is too old), but I don't think it's yet. We've been together a long time and taken a heap of wickets, but the times off the field as well have been so great. We know each other so well, so we can pull each other up from time to time when the rhythm's not quite there.”
