We have really good options for all kinds of conditions, claims Justin Langer

Australia will be looking to emulate it's fine performance in the first Test to go two-nil up at Lord's. Having a fully fit squad at their disposal unlike England whose squad is riddled with injuries, coach Justin Langer was feeling confident after a training session on Sunday.

"The wicket is really interesting, it looks like it's going to be a really flat wicket to me. It's quite dry though. It's not a surprise; the wicket is the last thing you look at when you come to Lord's. Most grounds it's the first thing to look at but here, there's so much else to admire and love about being here. But whether it's a green-top or a dry wicket, we have really good options and that's nice as a coach and selector," Langer was reported saying by Cricbuzz.

With more than a week separating the two Tests, the Kangaroos faced off against Worcester in a tour game that was ultimately washed off. However, it gave the team the chance to keep the squad players match fit and keep an eye on their preparation level should they need to be called up through the course of the five-match series.

"Travis Head played well. He has a huge future. He's very coachable, he's got better every time he plays. Josh Hazlewood bowled very economically. He got some wickets which was good for his confidence, Starcy does what he does best, he shook up the tail. He took a couple of wickets really swinging them back, an LBW early. It was good to see Mitch Marsh spend a bit of time in the middle if we need an all-rounder, he bowled a few overs as well. Uzzie got some time in the middle. There were some good things to come out of Worcester," Langer said.

The most striking feature of Australia’s squad is undoubtedly it’s world-class pace attack. The team packs as many as five lethal fast bowlers but with the pitch expected to dry up and offer spin, two of those will have to stay content with a spot on the bench much like the opening clash. 

"Whoever misses out it's going to be tough. The one who will be the twelfth man it will be even tougher, whether that be Sidds (Siddle) or Josh (Hazlewood) or James Pattinson, whether it's Starcy (Mitchell Starc) or Pat Cummins, they are all very, very good bowlers," Langer said.

Pat Cummins was the most clinical pacer at Edgbaston as he picked up seven wickets, yet again justifying his position as the world’s best in the format. However, in the past, injuries have kept him out for some long stretches and he will have to be dealt with cautiously by the island nation. 

"You'd like him to play all five but I am not sure it's humanly possible. He's the No 1 bowler in the world. You also have Josh Hazlewood who has played 40-odd Tests and is a gun and Mitch Starc who took 10 wickets in his last Test match. And he's played 40-odd Tests as well," Langer concluded.
