Starc will play at least the first test for sure

Australia confirm their two squads for tours of New Zealand and South Africa

Can Australia win this one?

Aussies quicks ready to dig deep at Gabba

Totally not what he did but I sense there’s no point arguing over that

Are the bad-boy Aussies making an unwelcome return?

Looked to me like he was actually marking centre. Bit weird and probably should stop doing it – not cheating though as I see it

Never questioned Pant’s talent. One of my favourite players. Horrible keeper though.

I agree with why the rule was created but don’t you think it seems weird to replace a bad keeper with a good keeper, then the much better batter comes out promoted and appears to be unaffected by pain and almost scores a 100?

How hard were the catches he missed? I haven’t seen them but 3 drops sounds pretty shocking

Imagine if Smith had knocked the bails off like Bumrah?

The underarm bowl was legal at the time, still seemed wrong.

I’m not sure India were any better in this test. I didn’t have a problem with anything that occurred, although Pant batting at 5 seemed odd after resting for an innings. I suspect that rule may change as a result.

What do people want? For the players to not care about the result and all hold hands?

And the excuse for an even worse showing in Melbourne is?

Black Caps' tactics exposed on Aussie soil

I’m not a fan of the 6 short balls an over stuff. But it seems to work and if Wagner bowled normally he’d have half the wickets he’s got.

It’s very negative cricket.

Neil Wagner on song, but needs policing on short-pitched bowling

The booing is a bit average too

Steve Smith solves New Zealand short ball riddle

I sense some deep anger in this post

Five key questions ahead of the Boxing Day Test

Would it be admitting they got it wrong that stopped the selectors from flying someone in?

Kiwi wicketkeeper to open batting at MCG

Any action is better than none. Lead by example etc.

Manuka smoke-out will set a much-needed worrying precedent this Australian summer

Had to be done. And the straight swap is the least disruptive approach. Big ask for Blundell.

Black Caps change top order for Boxing Day

Will he play?

Australia have no clear plan against NZ bouncer barrage

It is a very negative game plan. Seems to work however.

Melbourne is a much harder ground to cover with fielders too. So maybe that will mean more space to play shots to short balls

A tad sensitive Azza?

Lyon gives Australia a massive edge over New Zealand

Ah good call. I always like Grant Elliott.

Lyon gives Australia a massive edge over New Zealand

His approach strangely seems to work on slow, low, pitches too. I honestly think it’s boredom that gets most his wickets as the guy can bowl really long spells of nothing but short deliveries with a stacked legside field.

Fav south african?

Wagner will revert to 6 short balls an over regardless of the pitch.
