5 things to look forward to from the second half of 2018

#2 Will Australian cricket rise again?

Can the Paine-Langer combination resurrect the Australian fortunes?

June 2018 will mark the beginning of a new dawn in Australian cricket. Under a new captain -Tim Paine- and a new coach- Justin Langer- the side will look to move away from the ghosts of the ball tampering incident which rocked their cricketing structure in March and try and rewrite a new legacy that would be remembered for all the right reasons in the future.

For that to happen, Paine and co. must ensure that their bowling attack remains fit and raring to go at most times. The likes of Michell Starc and Josh Hazlewood have had a lot of fitness problems to deal with and their presence on a consistent basis will determine how well the Aussies do in the upcoming series.

Among all the cricket playing nations, it can be said that the fortunes of Australia is the one which will be most hard to predict.
