But does he believe in the process?

Don’t get all Russy on me.

Boland got a rat on his head.

Duckett scores 160 in 9 innings.
Scored them quickly though which is all that matters.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Starc should be gassed after this over

Wast of review ffs

Wast of review ffs

Review retained but that was always out.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Need to get smarter. Playing against the best bowling attack in Test cricket by a country mile (even without Hazelwood).

But it's not going to happen in a million years under Bazball. It's been too comfortable for too long for some. Time for a change.

 

[Swanjaxs]

And so it begins.
Australia in before close of play... 🫩

 

[exiledclaseboy]

Root. Brook. Glory.

Good start but I can’t help thinking it would be a different story if series was still Live.

Wholesale changes need to happen but likelihood is they can sell a 3:2 as close when in reality they’ve been well beat

What changes would you make?

What changes would you make?

Radical changes in structure of game. Binning the hundred, reforming central contracts. Sacking Baz. Focusing the setup on Test cricket and taking a Duncan Fletcher approach identifying players in county game with right mentality. Unfortunately retiring the likes of Wood and obviously binning off poor performers so they have to earn their place.

I could go on

Agree with a lot of that but the first two won’t happen for a whole host of reasons.

Yeah none of that is going to happen apart from Wood. Not saying it shouldn’t. But it won’t.

Yes, Big Bash Bollocks is now Cricket's main focus. It repels me.
