Why not try Cummings at 6 and play all of Starc, Hazlewood, Boland and Lyon?
Green to carry the drinks.
Because we need batting not bowling. The 4 bowlers we go with should be more than enough to run through South Africa. We just need to make sure we make more runs.

Yeah. Since the tragic loss of Warne and Symonds, these guys seem to be getting a lot more air time
Excellent to see Meg Lanning return to cricket, named for an upcoming ODI series vs Pakistan.

I tried to Google up what the noise was about Boland Vs Hazelwood and tripped over this article from last year, which I hadn’t seen before. The Aboriginal Dreamtime story of Scott Boland

Also, I think I heard during the BBL last night (didn’t quite catch it) that if it looked like a flat wicket they’d pick Boland, and if it looked lively they’d pick Hazelwood. So seems they’re aiming for a 3-4 day test regardless of the pitch.
I think having Boland in just gives us a better balanced attack.

We don’t bash players… he headbutted a metal-bucket. It’s an important distinction to make, OK?
They are soccer people, they’re actors not players.
If we went down the South Australian path we’d would put George Bailey in a barrel and bury him somewhere in Salisbury…

Stars v Scorchers at Junction Oval. Looks a picture, and they should play more often there. Better than 10-15K at the MCG looking like nobody is there…

Better for the kids having the hill too I reckon.

As an aside, did the Bushrangers used to play some Mercantile Mutual/ING Cup games at Punt Road oval?
I tend to recall that being the case.

Yeah late 90s/early 2000s. Before they took the turf deck out of it and it simply became Richmond’s training ground…
