Calls like these are why the Shield needs a third umpire.

Could have changed the game.

Correct.

Foakes catching Labuschagne would have lessened the margin of defeat, but wouldn’t have changed the result.

Bairstow will likely come into considerations after this Test, if Butler has another poor game.

Very good pickup ozinsa. ????

If I was a Roar editor, I would change the first line to “after this Ashes series”.

This article was written under the assumption that no one would be beating Pogacar.
I like O’Connor’s chances for a podium, though.

Agree entirely, Lachie!
Starc is cooked, and clearly needs a break from cricket. His outburst at Bryce Street was just the latest example of a man in a frayed mental state.
His Shield bowling average is about 49, and he arguably should have been left out of this match, on form.
Conway has a better record against Queensland.

Very sad! Yet another reason why Queensland is the superior sporting state. 😛

In other big news, former New Zealand fullback Kevin Locke has just signed for the Magpies!

Bretherton and the team behind the scenes at Davies must have good connections.

Thanks my fact-checking came from the 2017 Grand Final team, and their Wikipedia articles, which may not have been updated recently.

Will be careful next time!

Good fact checking Dogs of War, my error!

Purely from memory, Stimson played in the famous 2017 Grand Final against the PNG Hunters, so probably had that in the back of my mind.

Good pickup Rob! The Hunters will be sacrificing a lot for our entertainment this season here in Queensland.

Based on past form, I doubt it, but we can always dream!

They had the courage to drop Starc for Siddle in the Ashes, which gives us some hope…

Neser at No.7 is an interesting one I have heard.

He probably couldn’t do worse than Wade or Head atm.

Hi Scott,
I hope the concept of this article was entirely original, and not in any way taken from an article about Neser that I submitted last night. 😊
Love your work,

If this article had included spin-bowling allrounders, these guys would have made the cut:

Hi Elvis,

As mentioned in the fine-print, this article series concerns only pace-bowling all-rounders

How do we rate him so far, Roarers?

Hi Roseville,

Moody is a good pickup. No much chop with the ball in Test cricket (why he didn’t make the cut for this article) 🏏

Decent opening bat for a while though, and probably unlucky to be dropped after that 1992 Sri Lanka series.
