The Australian cricket team has always been known for its tough and uncompromising attitude, especially when it comes to bowling pace.

In recent years there have been a number of pace attacks that have circled Australia and attempted to take the power of the Aussie team, and while some have been successful others have failed under pressure.

It’s very easy to write about the best rhythm attack ever on tour in Australia. It would either be the West Indies pace attack of 1979/80 with Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Joel Garner and Colin Croft, or the 1984/85 version of Malcolm Marshall, Garner, Holding and Courtney Walsh.

When I saw South Africa’s pace attack at work at the Gabba, with the ball spinning around and Anrich Nortje paying homage to the macho pace era of the 1970s, I wondered who would be the best paced attack to circle Australia after the West Indies’ first. .

Their last two great bowlers were Walsh and Curtly Ambrose and they retired around the year 2000. So who is the best pace attack to tour Australia after 2000?

A rhythm attack that stands out as one of the best to tour Australia after 2000 is the South African rhythm attack of 2007-2008. Led by the formidable Dale Steyn, this pace attack also included Makhaya Ntini, Morne Morkel and Andre Nel.

Steyn was in the shape of his life at the time, having just been named ICC Test Player of the Year, and he proved to be a handful for Australian batsmen. His pace, swing and accuracy made him one of the most feared bowlers in the world, and he consistently troubled Australian batsmen with his consistent line and length.

Ntini, meanwhile, was a veteran of the game and brought a wealth of attacking experience. His ability to reverse the swing of the ball made him a formidable opponent, and he was able to chip away at Australian batsmen with his tight line and length.

Morkel, with his tall, lanky frame, was also a handful for Australian batsmen. His ability to generate rebounds and sewing moves made him a difficult bowler to face, and he was able to cause trouble for the Australian top order with his accuracy and persistence.

Finally, there was André Nel, the executor of the attack. With his short fuse and aggressive bowling style, Nel was able to throw Australian batsmen off balance with his pace and hostility.

Together, this pace attack was a formidable force, and they proved to be a thorn in the side of the Australian team throughout their tour. In the end, they were able to pull off a memorable win in the series, beating Australia 2-1 in the three-game Test series.

Another pace attack worth mentioning is England’s pace attack of 2010-2011. Led by the mercurial James Anderson, this pace attack also included Stuart Broad, Chris Tremlett and Tim Bresnan.

Anderson was in the shape of his life at the time, having just been named ICC Test Cricketer of the Year, and he proved to be a handful for Australian batsmen. His swinging and sewing movement made him a difficult bowler to face, and he constantly troubled the Australian higher order with his precision and control.

Broad, meanwhile, was a talented all-around player who brought a balanced approach to attack. With his ability to swing the ball back and forth, he was able to cause Australian batsmen problems with his variations and control.

Tremlett, with his tall and imposing frame, was also a handful for Australian batsmen. His ability to generate rebounds and sewing moves made him a difficult bowler to face, and he was able to cause trouble for the Australian top order with his accuracy and persistence.

Finally, there was Bresnan, the workhorse of the attack. With his consistent line and length, Bresnan was able to pressure the Australian batsmen and pick up important wickets when needed.

Together, this pace attack was a formidable force, and they proved to be a thorn in the side of the Australian team throughout their tour. In the end, they were able to pull off a memorable win in the series, beating Australia 3-1 in the five-game Test series.
