Bird is fun to watch.

I always forget how messed up Starc's action is. I was working the game today and on his first ball openly called 'What the gently caress was that?'

Literally every England player would waltz straight into this Australian line up. Perhaps Clarke would get into England's on a good day maybe?

What did he say that was wrong? Honestly appraise please.

Huss (may he rest in peace) wouldn't make the English squad, Bird/Siddle wouldn't be required, Clarke would have trouble walking into any side.

On a side topic (and shut me up if this has been brought up recently), surely it can't be long now until a cricketer breaks the gender divide? At the very least at state level if not soon First Class.

It would be very interesting to see a top tier international men's team play its counterpart ladies team.

Like the old Australia Vs. Australia A games. I'd buy a ticket.


That said, I'd rather women in the game not become a Globetrotter-esque gimmick

Clarke is now the last player left in the Test team who took part in the 06/07 Ashes (or second-last, Johnson was 12th man). What a difference six years makes.

Wow. God drat. So we should be looking at a maturing side fresh out of a rebuilding phase.

Oh wait.

Which one? The fielding was terrible.

In the deep - he had it covered then covered his face as it bounced at his feet and went to four. It was replayed about a hundred times 'cause a kid in the crowd mocked him. It was pretty great.
