More than fair. When I see an old fat **** trying to bowl seam up my first thought is "he looks awful now but he must have had a decent rig back in the day and any woman would be lucky to take his seed"

Aussies could potentially have some deep seriously batting line-ups in coming years depending on how things shake out.

Imagine having Green, Hardie and Sutherland all playing as front-line bowlers. Possibly the likes of Abbott, Mitch Marsh or Neser still around. Beau Webster coming up too.

Could see some white-ball, even Test sides, with all-rounders down to 10

It makes their general approach today make more sense if the idea is just to stack the entire order with all-rounders

It might just work out that way rather than being an intentional tactic, or maybe a bit of both. A lot of our up-coming gun bowlers and bats just happen to be all-rounders. Good problem to have I think

They've been pretty up front about the fact that they think that all out attack in the first 20 overs is the way to go. It worked in the WC tbf. Today it looked weird but it makes more sense if they trust 8 and 9 to be able to make runs regardless.

I don't mind it, in general. The trend of what constitutes a good score on most pitches has gone up and up for decades, games like today are a rarity.
