If and when Cummins gives up the captaincy it will either be Head (if he gives it up soonish, which I doubt) or some young guy who comes in like a McSweeney type.
Great to see a Kevin playing top line sport in 2024
Yep Head is captain elect
Can Sinclair actually see through that visor!? The top bar looks about level with his eyes ![]()
Rehan Ahmed yet to get a trundle. Interesting. If the visa issues hasnât have occurred, would Bashir have got a game instead? Canât believe heâs not been given a go, especially when Hartley has been going at 7 an over.
He doesnât believe he will be
Very optimistic appeal from Starc. Missing a third leg stump that one.
Poms have already said he wasnât going to play the 1st test.
Yep itâs seems ridiculous that Hartley has bowled unchanged. root surely worth a trundle as well.
Interesting given heâs the current VC and no one else other than Mitch Marsh in the team has leadership credentials.
Usman Khawaja named ICC Mens Test player of the year
Huge
Hartley 0/63 after 9
Jaiswal 60 (54)
He is less than a year younger than Pat and with the way Pat looks after himself there is no reason why he canât play for many years yet and the last thing they will do when Pat retires is put Trav in for a year or two before he also retires. The only way Trav is skipper permanently will be if Pat gets injured or retires early. Over the coming year or so we will start to see some new blood come in and one or more of them will probably end up with the job
Good call by Carey, that was going down leg.
I have heard Cummins wants to hand over the captaincy before he finishes up and just be a player. If that happens Trav has to be the man.
I think the windies are doing well because pat cummins is woke.
Sinclair averages 32 with the bat in first class cricket. Thatâs a decent record.
Bang
Starc gets Hodge
