Is Tom Whitney related to Mike ?

I don't believe so. He has triplet daughters. Whether Tom is Mike's nephew, cousin, whatever, I don't know.

Good win by the boys.
Richo the difference in the end.

Keeps us in the hunt.
Will probably need to win all 4 or at least 3 of the remaining games.

Oh wow, surprised we won that one. I couldn't find the highlights on the cricket.com website.

Can Agar bat again now?

 

[Tugga27]

Can Agar bat again now?

He's ok when he can play second fiddle.

You don't want him being the main man.

Babar Azam just released a statement on why he's not playing the second test against England. Totally nothing to do with his woeful form.

Spoiler: Babar Azam's statement.

"Reason for my absence for the second test was due to doctor's orders. The PCB had been provided with a medical certificate. I have been diagnosed as suffering from a work related injury and as a result I am on sick leave until further notice. I will not go into details as to my medical condition as I wish to keep that strictly private. I am doing my best to work with the PCB and my doctors so I can recover from my injury. I intend to return back to play as soon as I am fit and able."​

A chance both England and India could be eliminated from the Women's WC before the knock outs start which would handy for our chance of winning, and more importantly, very funny.

I know he’s still taking crucial wickets but Tye is way too expensive these days in both white ball formats.

Funnily enough one was a maiden, so the other nine overs went for 8.7 runs an over

Wouldn't be AJ Pie without the pies.

Was so scratchy that the crowd was cheering on mistimed drives that went for 1

A few key points here.

Steve Smith 'expressed a desire' to move back down the order and won't be opening this summer. Found it a bit tough did ya, Smudge? Thanks for wasting half a summer where we could've been bedding in Warner's replacement.

It appears a race in 3 - Bancroft, Harris and Konstas. No Sam Whiteman? Also, weren't the selectors keen on Renshaw a short while ago?

Josh Philippe has made the Australia A squad. Just, how? Oh that's right, he plays for NSW now.

Keeping stocks in this country so low he is 4th in line. At least Pierson made the squad

How farked off would you be if you were Bancroft, Harris or Renshaw hearing Smudge's selfishness confirmed?

Bancroft and Harris aren't good enough and Renshaw arguably isn't either. So they shouldn't be too miffed.

Out of the three I'd go Renshaw but he has a lot to prove in terms of consistency.

Whiteman should be in the mix at least.

I'm not saying they'd be any good however they were CA's obvious next three in line to replace Warner last summer and they got shafted.

They shafted themselves by not being up to standard.

Too early to tell but hopefully this NSW kid develops into the next long term opener.

I'd just be promoting Head and playing a Webster or Hardie.

 

[Tugga27]

Smith struck his hand up to open so Green could come back into the side after MM's run of form.

A lot thought it was the wrong decision then, and in hindsight it has been proven to be be correct.

I agree, the openers who were overlooked should be filthy.

Everyone keeps on about rewarding results. Bancroft ( whether good enough or not ) should have been rewarded.

Renshaw's shithouse. I bet you had a Matty Elliot poster on your bedroom wall as a kid.

Cummins and Hazelwood have frozen the guy out. Will never get a look in.

Yeah because they didn't know eh ?

One Dayers and T20s vs Pakistan - Nov 4 - 18th
Tests - 22nd November - 7th Jan
BBL - 15th December - 27th Jan

 

[RookiePick]

India are going to spank us at home again. They just don't seem to have any weak points to exploit that wouldn't expose out own, more serious, frailties.

Fingers crossed I should make day 1 and day 3 of the Perth Test.
