Whatever it takes!!!
No, I meant he seems to play every series between the two countries somehow, lol. I think except the 2013 series in India, he has played everyone of these from 2011?

Every ball of McGrath's record-breaking spell in 2000 | #AUSvIND
Unbelievable figures: 4-8 off 10 overs! Glenn McGrath bowled an incredible 53 dot balls against India in 2000 - will we see a similar performance in...

Richie under selling him at the end there saying "not many occasions when he's given them a half volley". No Richie, there were no occasions he gave them a half volley. Scientifically speaking every single delivery was on a perfect length. They all just did something slightly different after pitching.sometimes forget just how great this bloke was

Obviously not much of a comparison but I got badged a month or so ago. Felt fine for the rest of the day but was a wreck for the rest of the week afterwards

This instantly made me think about that Sam Harper article that came out after he got hit in the head by Lehmann's bat. Hopefully wasn't as hellish as this sounds.

Like imagine being a footballer and having your head smashed around as part of your job for decades.

Yeah there's a reason footballers don't have reputations as intellectuals.

Mine was just a mild concussion but even then I still had trouble with balance, extreme headaches and fatigue. Hated it

So 11 of the Aus Test squad have gathered in Adelaide for a week of red ball practice before the first test.
1. Wade
2. Labuschagne
3. Smith
4. Head
5. Paine
6. Neser
7. Pattinson
8. Cummins
9. Starc
10. Lyon
11. Hazlewood
Given our lack of openers I could almost go with that team if we brought in Green (at #5) to replace Neser or Pattinson

I’m almost prepared to say that’s a ****in’ lot of bowlers there.

Well that's the players in Adelaide until Abbott, Burns, Green and Swepson join after Aus A game.
Strange they haven't named replacements for the injured Warner and Pucovski as right now there are only 6 fit batsmen in the Test squad and I wouldn't play one of them (Burns obviously)
This implies they'll only come from the A squad so another Langer bat off awaits

Oh, so Starc is gonna play the first test afterall? I thought he was out of that one too due to his leave.

That's probably just troll votes but I could actually see there being 2% of the cricket viewing public who still bizarrely believes that Smith should have been de facto banned for life.

Nah it's basically just troll votes for sure. There's also always going to be a certain amount of bot votes, people just picking randomly to see results etc. as well.
98% on a large internet poll like that is actually more than what I'd require to call something "effectively unanimous" tbh.

I think most of them are pretty thick before they start bashing their heads on the ground or into each other.

Maybe it's those who think Smith is a downhill skiier because most of his tons come in the first innings.

Have you got the link to the poll? I can't find it, I thought there was a little detail in it.

Possibly but I really do still think there's a cadre of utter "That's Just Not What Australian Cricket Is" dead-enders out there. You still see them occasionally from time to time.
