International Vice-Captain
Aussie bowlers have shown how to bowl with the new ball. Haze has bowled a few loose deliveries as well, but the only he got absolutely right was a jaffer. Our bowling pre lunch yesterday was a bit meme.

Slightly off topic, but I was surprised to see the below deals for the various Aust networks for sporting events... specifically NRL being far more lucrative than Cricket 1.8b in 5 years vs. cricket's 1.2b in 6. I guess the NRL does go for about 5 months and has 7 games a week though.

Breakdown of sporting pay deals
Code Rights holders Total deal
AFL Seven, Foxtel, Telstra $2.5bn, 6yrs
NRL Nine, Foxtel, Telstra $1.8bn, 5yrs
Cricket Australia* Foxtel, Seven $1.2bn, 6yr
Tennis Australia Nine $300m, 5yrs

Incidentally, Can anyone name all the commentators for this Foxtel/Seven broadcast? Did I hear Allan Border's voice there?

Jadeja must be the most annoyed man right now. He just gets to field all day in hot weather and then when a spot opens up due to injury, they still never pick him.
