They shouldn’t be anywhere near the Test side.
Neither should Marcus Harris or Matthew Wade mate, yet here we are.

They don’t have to end up being awesome bowlers, they have to bowl well for about 2.5 days and they’ve done their job.

Yeah but I think there’s a difference between being in the Test side as a first choice (even though you shouldn’t be - like Harris or Rohit) and being picked as net players and having to play. As PEWS said, it would be like Zampa playing in the Xi as a front line spinner.

Sure, but rookies sometimes get up for a game when they’re called up. They lift being in the limelight. You don’t get brought to another country to be in and around an international squad if you’re a street urchin. They weren’t picked up at random by the team on its way to the airport.

So Shane Warne's variations are comprised of the following : "Flipper", "Slider", "Zooter" "Toppie" "Wrong, un" (maybe more)

Nathan Lyon names his "Jeff" :laugh:

Haha yeah. That extended interview with Lyon wasn’t bad tbh. His dad sounds like a typical country bloke

I'm going to sleep now. If Rahane or Pujara can still be in when I wake up, that'll be great. If it is the second innings and we're following on then I'll settle for one of them still being in.

What a day ahead. I think we could bat through the day or lose about 15 wickets - let's see what happens.

are you reading, like, the tables backwards or something?

here is the latest census projection:

View attachment 26831

last i checked, 7.5 is a bigger number than 5.9. i'm pretty sure that, of the bigger states, victoria has the fastest rate of pop growth in the country.
Melbourne accounts for most of Victoria's population and is booming ATM because of employment and education.
Can this last in this puny little state?
Queensland with it's size beauty coastline and proximity to Asia has more potential.
Cheap air conditioning and better building insulation will overcome summer conditions.
