MELBOURNE (Reuters): Australia's pace attack terrorised England's lower order batsmen with short-pitched bowling during the 5-0 Ashes whitewash and all test sides can expect the same treatment, according to coach Darren Lehmann.
"That (bouncing the tailenders) was one of the things that once made the West Indies so threatening, and they bowled very fast," Lehmann said in comments published by News Ltd media on Wednesday, referring to the great Caribbean sides of the 1970's and eighties.
"There is not a lot of really fast bowlers out there in the world at the moment and we are lucky enough to have probably six. We have got to make sure that is our strength.
"That is coming. Every tailender is going to get it.
"That's what we want to do and we want to do it to every team.
