Boland is almost 36 years old. Can Boland play for long enough to end up with 150 test wickets?

No, because he's not in the team unless Haze is injured. He won't play enough games.

Sad really, looked class. Had no idea he was this old.
As above, 100 wkts would have been a more realistic question but probaly still no is the answer.. Australia have 11 tests before he turns 37
2 tests vs SL where he might not play due to Starc and Webster + 3 spinners
1 test vs SA in the WTC final when he's done terrible in England so may or may not play
3 tests vs West Indies where the big 3 wll be back so may play 1 test
5 tests vs England at home where he might play 3-4 tests
So he may get 80-90 wkts

Yeah, those thinking he would do ok in England weren't taking into account what the Poms would do to their wickets to accommodate their approach.

Apart from that wicket where no team scored over 300 and he was utterly shite.

Jimmy Anderson played forever, why not.
Next WTC cycle.
Home Tests - Bangladesh (2) England (5) New Zealand (4)
Away Tests - India (5) South Africa (3) West Indies (3)
I'm sure some sort of rotation policy will be in play for him to get some games in. Also, Lyon might not get selected either. 44 away from 100.
Testament to Australia as they give caps out to players after they hit 30 (Hussey, Webster, Boland) and these players manage to leave a mark on international cricket.
