Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

They have to drop handscomb surely. I don't even understand why he got back into the side.

I think we can confirm Handscomb is still in fact bad and didnt actually fix any of his problems

Edit: lol Jim maxwell said he would have more confidence with Cummins out there instead of Handscomb

Handscomb missed a half volley by a foot. We are bad.

Bumrah is having a Cummins of an innings. I.E. bowling beautifully but getting no reward.

I have no idea. It's a poo poo ball so hit it properly. Why lean back and slice it straight to the trap?
