I'm actually pretty depressed today; but India's decision to leave him out has raised my from 9/100 to 11/100.
If they really wanted four quicks they should've just dropped Kohli, surely? Vinay Kumar is hardly what you'd call a specialist WACA bowler anyway.

Haven't actually seen the ball, currently playing a game of 'Guess What Team Mike Cammalleri Has Been Traded Too'
but he's a ****.

That really was a great ball. It's the sort of ball we often used to see Hilfhenhaus try to bowl in the first 4 overs of an innings - but on this occasion it actually swung and didn't end up on the square leg fence. Best of all is that those failed hero ball attempts usually prompted him to bowl short outside off for the rest of the innings.
I backed Hilf's selection going into this series but it was more in a "he wasn't that bad; still better than Starc at least" kind of way than a "he's actually improved quite a bit" way, even though I was kinda impressed with one awesome BBL spell he bowled. His Shield bowling this season hadn't really looked anything like this - just a little quicker than his Ashes bowling with no real other change, tbh - big ups to McDermott if he got him bowling like this in a week or so leading in the first Test.

Don't mind him tbh; as long as he's just used a special comments kinda guy and not the play-by-play. Better at the Healy role than Healy.
