Prior won't make the test side again, surely not. KP is done, Swann is done, Trott will always be hunted by opposition and taunted about his stress/etc.
Yeah but Prior wasn't ended by Johnson as he played this summer.

Swann was always going to retire because of his elbow anyway.

If Trott is taunted about mental illness then I hope he smashes whoever does it in the face with his bat then walks off.

Guess you don't watch much cricket then huh... Cairn's having a sister die in a train accident and having people like the Waugh brothers make Choo Choo noises when he walked out to bat, Tresco copping **** about his own stress related illnesses, Harmison being mercilessly taunted about being homesick, etcetera.

Yeah but I like to think we have moved on a bit from that with more cases happening.

Anyway back to this match. At least both openers are away.

Don't worry mate - your netballers are good
You do know Australia will win the four nations, don't you? Speaking if things no one really cares about.

Like to see Warner and Maxwell each break Astle's record as Australia cruise to this target 4 down.

This didn't actually happen.
It did according to Cairns and Parore, both of whom I had chats in person with about it.

Yes, I know what biographies have since said, but according to Cairns, Mark Waugh was the one who made train noises at him.

Danny Morrison sucking up to Pakistan is pretty ****y tbh. I can understand Mbangwa sucking up to SA a bit. They are both from Africa so one can form some convoluted logic. Here, it is just that as Morrison is broadcasting for Ten Sports, he wants to get future contracts.

hahaha yes. that was amazing
like if you hadn't watched it and had a look at the scorecard and you'd think "oh yeah it's definitely one hell of a game" but you had to actually watch it to know how ****ed up it was

By "Astle's record" I meant "monumentally mediocre player does something extraordinary, like Mark Butcher in the fourth test against Australia in 2001"

my personal favourite was watson coming out with a busted hamstring (or something) and then attempting to break the record for fastest fifty

the equivalent of that match would be rogers making a 25 ball 70 here

Calling Astle mediocre isn't really right, considering he averaged over 35 with most of his matches in NZ at a time that we were turning out the types of wickets in Hamilton that the Indian team couldn't score more than 200 in any innings on.
