Yep, no chance he will become the test player he is capable of with the injuries he’s had. Will command massive money to be a T20 player

That must be the cause. Not that England haven’t won a test in Australia since 2011.
13-0 since then. If not for typical Sydney test match weather, would have been 14-0. And if the MCG curator decided to prepare something other than a strip of concrete in 2017, probably would have been 15-0.

Typical Pommy mental gymnastics. Stuart Broad is a ■■■■■■■■ of the highest order, your classic private school prat born with a silver spoon up his ■■■■. I’m picking Lance Morris and peppering the ■■■■ with bouncers.

Except that Lance has stress fractures in his back and won’t be playing any cricket until the end of the year

Yep. Our only real intimdatory “strike” bowling option is that Spencer Johnson dude. Riley Meredith maybe but he hasn’t really ever looked like a viable option at test level.
Of the incumbents, Starc goes ok on his day in that regard.
Jhye Richardson isn’t all that quick but he bowls a good, skiddy bouncer from a lower trajectory that I rate, so it’s a pity he’s also been injured and seemingly not in the frame.
Anyone linked a non paywalled version of Brettig’s 4 part piece on the IPL?
Where was it published?
He writes for The Age, SMH

That’s idiotic from Broad. Australia beat us fair and square, cop it on the chin and focus on the next series
Feels like most of the sqaud had given up before they even arrived due to all the outside stuff.

Yeah chief cricket writer for 9 Papers.
Yes Stuart. Covid was responsible for the park cricketers you selected throughout the series.
Yes Stuart. Covid was the reason Root was such an abject captain.
Yes Stuart. Covid was the reason for Jos Butler.
That is one of the most idiotic articles I’ve ever read.

I open in Incognito Mode and then do ctrl+a and ctrl+c before the paywall kicks in. Then paste to text editor

Yeah will have a look tomorrow on the laptop at work.
Sri Lanka 3/704 declared in reply to Ireland’s 492
Obvious ■■■■ take by Broad, to fire up the Ozzie supporters, l doubt our players are paying his words any attention.

Fair to say it’s probably a reasonably flat pitch.

Time of the year when Shield players start moving around and Weatherald the first cab off the rank with a move to Tasmania
Sri Lanka still might win
