I have watched a ton of innings he's had over the past 3 years and Rishabh Pant is not a good white ball player for the current era. Shubman Gill on the other hand is Hot Stuff.

Nah he’s always been able to do just fine at a run a ball. Just don’t ask him to play t20.

Crawley will play for England until the day he dies because hey, he might get some runs occasionally, that's just the sort of player he is.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I grew up in S Africa and by late November cricket season was in full swing. Is it different in Aus?

It's more being played on the Wednesday thats the problem. Perth tests are very good for TV in Australia. This means the broadcaster would probably start tests on the Monday if they could.

But the season does normally start by now.
