Anyone can get a good one first up

If he doesn’t get a good one first up, he’s sure to get one second up or third up in the last 12 months lol. Dreadful.

Lol. Travis Head can’t be farked dealing with the Indian fans whilst doing a casual shop. Can’t blame him. Get your millions and come home :sweat_smile:

I’ll give Trav lots of credit here. I’m sure he would have liked to have said “oi, fk off ■■■■” but refrained.

But he’s done nothing wrong. There is nothing controversial about this.

Yeah no disagreements there at all, good on him. I will say one thing though… he didn’t exactly go out of his way to throw anyone off the scent rocking up in his Sunrisers Hyderabad training top :laughing:

Probably went straight from training. Can’t blame the lad, why make two trips when it can all be done in one.

Trav has loved his time over there and has spent a stack of his own private time off at clinics and meeting fans, signing autographs etc but this year has been a bit more of a grind than normal as it’s pretty full on. What you see on that clip happens 24/7 when he is out and about and he gets 1000’s of requests daily for autographs and selfies and he can’t say yes to them all

@Lawry your man Xavier Bartlett not having his finest moment in the outfield on IPL debut :laughing:

Maxwell with another big knock overnight (7).

Averaging 8.2 across his 5 innings this IPL. He really is garbage over there for some reason.

Regular JFM morning update… Made 9 overnight.

That’s actually elite by his standards.

Hey, if there’s an idiot franchise willing to shell out for such poor returns, then all power to him. Take the $$$$ and run. His career is looking likely to be a short one at this point…

What a gun. First game back, carves out a ton!

The whole selection story around the make-up of the Aussie test XI for the Test Championship Trophy Final will be fascinating.

Looked like a great knock.

I’d say he might open and SK gets dropped or open with Marn and bat Green at 3

CA’s new Chief Executive, Todd Greenberg, says he is focused on ensuring games being interrupted less for poor light or light rain. Hooray!

Do you know what I wish he would also fix? Steve Smith carrying on like a ninny whenever there is the slightest ‘distraction’ in the crowd. The amount of time given over catering to that cr/ap is mystifying. People wearing sunglasses or opening their Doritos and he’s off waving and walking halfway to the boundary demanding its cessation.

Heard that Keith ‘Stacky’ Stackpole has died. I’m old enough to remember the cry, 'Stacky’■■■■■ another four.
‘Bewdy mate - crack another tin.’

(Apparently the server objects to ‘hit’ - don’t know why.)
