- Play four pacers and go for the all out attack:
After a really long time has any team went on the field with such ambition like Australia, as Smith indicated that the side would field four pacers. If this is indeed the plan, then the Kangaroos are bound to be the favorites owing to the strength of their pace battery. In Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, they have three genuine wicket takers. Add to that the accuracy of John Hastings, and the bowling looks extremely daunting. Throughout the game, Smith must back his pacers and ensure that they get aggressive fields to bowl at.
