I was more going the playing Test matches is good prep for Test matches despite the result.
I think he was pretending to be Bancroft- thought that was pretty obvious sledge to the Australian crowd.
McSweeney had three years at the Bulls and averaged 14. I don't think that's Queensland's fault and even at SA only played three games his first year.
Weibgen is still Bulls contracted- that's the one that counts.
Doesn't that sort of answer your own question? India finished three Tests against New Zealand on the 3/11 and played the first Test here on the 22/11.
Australia played ODI and 20/20 from the 4/11 to the 18/11. Cummins said I am not picking up a ball for 8 weeks and I am going to Cold Play. I...
Sure if it was a one game series, but at the end of the series Australia have won 3-1 and it could have been 4-1 and they just got better as the series went on. Part of planning is peaking at the right time and maintaining that peak. Australia did that well.
Should add too, first time since 1997 Ashes Australia has come back from 1-0 down to win a series and first time at home since 1968/69 against the West Indies.
Boland is fantastic don't get me wrong and earns every Test.
2024
Boland two tests due to foot/knee injury- 11 wickets at 18. (Third Test was in 2025)
Hazlewood 7/9 Tests- 35 wickets at 13- best average of any bowler in the world to take more than five wickets.
The Hazlewood is always...
It was very Damian Martyn v South Africa in 93/94 same ground too- I don't think Sam will be exiled for six years though.
I am less worried about his batting; he can bat behind his shoulder and sensible.
It's what drew me to him playing his Shield debut 12 months ago.
He hasn't done that at...
Sorry- Perfect polite Sam just said hey mate, Uzzie needs a second let's just all wait man. By the way what are you doing for tea tonight?
Bumrah the violent man just went crazy with expletives and rude aggressive behaviour. Threatening to kill his family tonight.
Sam was seen after the game...
Funny story Bumrah is allowed to bowl, he also allowed to put his hands in the air frustrated when the batsman is stuffing around wasting time. Konstas taking it on himself to march towards the bowler and tell him what he thinks when Bumrah isn't even near him or talking to him is the unprovoked...
I'd say abusing Bumrah 30 seconds earlier played a part. You keep proving my point- they're dogs but little innocent perfect Sam just a 19-year-old kid who wants to play cricket. He can say whatever he wants to Bumrah but if Bumrah dares says anything back he's a mean man.
A reaction from the Indians, he provoked and caused.
Again, sending your coach to say poor me I am only 19 they're mean bullies is another example of a player that is putting up a brave tough guy front.
