The problem is it's actually kinda true, Harris does have a very good Shield record over the last 3 or 4 years. Admittedly aided by some seriously flat home pitches, but it's not like he isn't performing for Victoria



Sydney taking turn is a bit of a myth these days anyway, at least internationally
And weak attacks. As the best bowlers are busy playing test cricket for Australia.

if they rest starc they can bring in Boland to assess his talent. Australia is never short of genuine fast bowling bench strength -a position England can only dream about. I mean jhye and boland could walk into any team in the world on current form. Boland 2 shield games bowl average of 10!

My suspicion is that Boland in Test cricket would be Clint McKay/John Hastings all over again, honestly would pick Neser over him if that was the choice but in an ideal world neither would play on Boxing Day
You never know. He could dominate England on current form.

Was watching highlights of 175 Test at MCG where Steve Waugh remained stranded .

Question is would current Aussie lower order of Cummins, Starc, Lyon , Hazzlewood would have failed in that Test if they had come at 6/140 ?

I don't hate Chappelli but he would be a lot better if someone actually challenged him on his nonsense every now and then. He has cricket opinions that were set 30 years ago and everything that's happened since seems to have had zero impact on his thinking.

Some of them are merely self-centred, becasue their contributions otherwise barely rise to the level of an opinion at least as far as cricket is concerned.

These two statements pretty much directly contradict eachother, you clearly have absolutely no idea whatsoever what you are talking about

richardson confirmed fit. hazlewood confirmed out. neser makes way for cummins. so its a battle between starc and boland for the final fast bowlers spot. typically ashes, you dont bowl your bowler 5 tests in a row, starc has bowled 2 tests on the trot, so its becoming quite firm for MCG specialist boland to debut.
