They should be really unconventional and make the Captain the 12th man
Not sure which Starc youâre looking at, thatâs heavily built? Heâs stringy as. Particularly compared to Steyn, whoâs pretty well built.
Also much harder decks and grounds here, compared to England at least. Plays a part.
Thatâs just depressing. A specialist number 8. Test Captain.

Your outstanding candidate for the Test Vice Captaincy, ladies and gentlemen.
Geeeezus.
But he has the lineage âŚ
I read that, thought I mis-read it because he dad wasnât exactly the greatest cricketer of all
Yes but he was chairman of selectors.
If anyone really wants to get to the bottom of âwhatâs wrong with Maxwellâ, have a good think about whoâs in the spot he would get. Mitch Marsh has been the anointed one for 5+ years. All the rest is excuse making after the fact.
Astute captaincy
Apparently onions cried
Not a fan of the hit and giggle format but with BBL now being played on Christmas Day it might give me something to watch
Loving the domestic one day comp on the cricket app. Unlike the cvunts at afl you can stream it to your telly through Apple TV.
Darcy Short a lazy 200 against QLD, albeit on a ground smaller than anything Iâve seen.
OUT! Stumped. Matthew Kuhnemann to DâArcy Short. Length ball, Slog, Play and Miss to wicketkeeper, by Peirson.
Nooo Spoke too soon
WA are currently 380 and only one player has made it past 27! Not a bad knock
Some of the Grade grounds in sydney wouldnât pass muster for park cricket down here. North Sydney and Hurstville two of the worst.
Pffft! Try to bowl spin on Little Hurley (Hurlingham Parkâs second ground) down on Nepean Highway. Guy top-edged it to conventional backward square, and it was 6 by 5 metres.
Or the Trey Bit, down behind Trevor Barker Oval.
Next to them, North Sydney Oval is the MCG.
Has there ever been a less relevant warm up game to a test series to the Australia v Pakistan A game?
Pakistan playing no spinners to give aussies no prep, made even more silly by lyon taking 8 wickets in the first innings. Now the aussie bats taking full toll but for what? This isnât anything like theyâll face in the tests so isnât practice at all
Cal Ferguson hits a superb hundred against Queensland at Nth Sydney Oval. Hopefully he gets another crack at International cricket. In supreme touch and Iâd say as good as he was prior to that knee injury that really curtailed his careerâŚ
Bangladesh women chasing 89 to win, currently 9/26.
One bowler has 3/0 From 3 overs
