Really surprised they haven’t kept the silly point in for Head when Jadeja is bowling.

Head actually moves his feet really well to the spinners. His feet are only cast in concrete to the quicks.

It really is a different game without that extra bloke around the bat on the off side. There’s a billion runs to play with, don’t know why they haven’t kept him in there.

Katich and Alison Mitchell are terrific commentators.
Not used to actual insight while watching cricket during the Aus summer.

Whatever it takes!!!
The problem with this discussion about giving Cummins the new ball is that doing so neuters one of Hazlewood or Starc. Both of which are far better with the new ball and some swing.

Cummins would be devastating with the new ball though.

That is a silly reason to not use your best bowler properly though. Its like the time I argued that Sachin should bat at 4 for India in ODIs coz Sehwag and Ganguly are best as openers and struggle in the middle order. You can't neuter your best weapon to help your next best.

Cowan is pretty good too on the abc. Automatic switch of the dial when Bhogle comes on, of course. Just a vapid fool.

Cowan is too self important. Thinks he's special because he's some 'woke' pseudo intellectual. Similar to Bob Murphy the AFL player. Everyone puts them on a pedestal because they're cricket/AFL players that sound intelligent enough to use a knife and fork.

When Marsh bats like this you genuinely wonder why he doesn't average 50. He's the most frustrating player since Marcus North.

I found his thoughts on batting against spin in the SC pretty interesting, in terms of angles etc.
