5 areas that Australia needs to work on

England v Australia - 1st Royal London One-Day Series 2015
Wade's performances thus far has not inspired much confidence

#3 Reduce dependence on Starc and Hazlewood

New Zealand v Australia - 1st Test: Day 1
Australia will be relieved to have Hazlewood back

With the return of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, Australia's bowling attack will be menacing. But, the Australians need to be cautious and not depend entirely on these two to deliver crucial strikes. As they are coming back from injuries, it will be important for the other bowlers to step up and support them.

A fully fit Pat Cummins and an in-form Nathan Lyon will definitely help this cause.

Cummins’s brand of aggressive fast bowling will complement Starc and Hazlewood beautifully. With his speed and skill, he is a huge asset to the team.

Nathan Lyon had an underwhelming tour of Sri Lanka, but he put all doubts about his lack of ability to rest by delivering outstanding performances in the hot, tiring, spin-friendly conditions in Bangladesh. It was due to his exploits that Australia came back after losing the first game of the series and levelled the two-match series.
