I reckon that street he's standing on would have generated more variation than the track that Shield game was played on. Can we just ban Victoria from hosting games for a few years?
Mitchell Starc with match figures of 10/60 against Tasmania has bounced right back after a poor first round of the Shield. Strong chance of a recall for the first test of the Summer in conditions that suit him.
Great to see Jhye Richardson back taking wickets. Reckon he's the next best after Starc, Cummins, Hazelwood and Pattinson. As you say, a well stocked cupboard.
Yeah wow saw the highlights. Some awesome shots and the Big (No)Show turned up in style. Such a shame he could never really maximise that talent at test level, though I still suppose there still a small chance he can.
Not only top order the whole team. Bancroft top scored with 49. Hope the second dig, if we get one, the boys show some form. BTW the Pakistan team is looking pretty good. Should be a good first test at the Gabba.
I think on the weight of runs through the last couple of seasons I would be picking Pucovski and then raffle for the other openers spot. I have a feeling that Harris will get it, but I still think he's mediocre.
I think there would be more potential for success with Joe Burns to open in place of Harris, Hornet. As you say, Harris looks to be mediocre and mostly scores either poorly or mediocrely. If Burns gets going, he is more likely to turn in a high score around 100 or more.
Is Kurtis Patterson still out of the picture with injury?
