He just seems a slightly more tanned white person. I did suspect some Aboriginal descent though.

Yeh I'd say definately some Indigenous or Subcontinental.

His features are very similar to some Indians I know

When is CA going to (tacitly) admit they've ****ed up by making the ODI competition a joke shoved in the start of the season. That said the technical problems of the batsmen go back further than that. Head's dismissal was one of a batsman who has never played on a bouncing pitch with the moving ball. His front foot remained rooted while his back foot did all sorts of weird things.

At least Langer is keeping his batting-collapses-while-coach record up.

oh no

"We'd planned to go in with 'Coults' (Coulter-Nile) and Josh (Hazlewood) with the new ball," Finch said after Australia lost by six wickets.

"It didn't work out for Coults in the first over today, then we went to Starcy pretty quick.

"It's just a tactical thing to be honest. Sixteen out of 18 losses in a row, 17 out of 19 now, we're looking for something to try, to try some new things, something different.

"If you keep doing the same thing over and over it's the definition of insanity, isn't it?

"We're looking for a combination, looking for a method.

"Obviously, a few more runs would be handy as well."

Triumphant return for Steyn Gun at Perth. 2 years ago I feared his career was over right here. The best thing about his wickets today was that he was bowling his Test match lengths and swinging the ball late in the air.

We'd planned to go in with fringe player guy and Josh with the new ball," Finch said after fringe player guy went for 16 in his first over

"Coults got ****ing smashed at the Justin Langer End ©, so we went from Plan Z back to Plan A.

"It's just a tactical thing to be honest. Sixteen out of 18 losses in a row, 17 out of 19 now, we're looking for something to try, to try some new things, something different as long as the **nt doesn't get smashed within his first six deliveries

"If you keep doing the same thing over and over, but spend one over doing something different, it's the definition of thinking smart, isn't it?

"We're **** out of ideas

"Obviously, about 150 more elite runs, discipline, our two best bats and a crowd bigger than 56 in this crypt of a stadium would have been handy as well."

"Our batting sucks at the moment and we can't do anything about it so we are playing around with the bowling..."

I realise the issue with Australian cricket now.

We need elite fandom. Consider this thread and the Australian members of the forum. We just defecate over our proud side almost every day like cynical pricks. Where's our elite mateship, when was the last time any of you experienced that?
