Inglis a smokey for the sixth Australian batting position? One of the form batters at the moment, has international experience. I know he hasn't opened in red ball cricket but what was it said last year about picking your six best bats and then working it out from there?

Was it because he left for the birth of his child? If so, Weatherald can get in the bin. Perfectly acceptable reason to retire.

Weatherald seems like a bit of a dick.

Surely not. I don't claim to know any domestic cricketers but Cartwright to me seems a genuinely good guy. And he's just had a child... good on him for retiring IMO.
Ok, I read the article about it and it seems like Tassie weren't happy he was allowed to resume, but then the article says it was up to the captains anyway? Can see both sides of the argument but seems a bit whiny to complain that a bloke you haven't dismissed is allowed to bat on.

Would have thought it’d be easy enough as a Tasmanian player to think what would I like to be able to do in that situation…
Easy enough back slap “good on ya mate, congratulations” and get on with it sort of situation in my eyes. Very average behaviour from Tassie guys

Imagine trying to stop someone from returning to bat because they left for the birth of their child. It’s 2024, not 1984. And would they have felt like winners if that ‘dismissal’ had stood and they scraped home?
