You seem to have a bee in your bonnet about Starc

Australia's new 'Big Three' demolish England

So when Pat Cummins got his 10 in the first test or Richardson got his 6 in the first test, on a great pitch with a pink ball under lights did you say the same thing.

HIGHLIGHTS: Starc takes five as Aussies crush Sri Lanka for series whitewash

That happened last year. Sixers were the top team and should have had the home ground but had to play in Perth to coincide with the mens game. There were hardly any people there because they were only interested in the men. This game will get a crowd on Saturday.

Brisbane turn up the Heat as Sydney pursue third consecutive WBBL title

I think most of the team look all over the place mentally. None appear to be playing with any confidence and you have to wonder what it’s like inside the dressing room. The bowling coach is giving interviews slagging the bowlers, never saw McDermott do that. If they bowl rubbish then say it to them, don’t say it to the media. It just seems a huge mess at the moment. The batting, bowling and fielding is going backwards at a pretty alarming rate and that comes down to the coaches.

Kurtis Patterson added to Australian Test squad to play Sri Lanka

Why would you make Starc and Hazlewood play shield when they need the one day practice before the world cup and when Cummins is probably the weakest of the 3 in one day games why would you not put one of them in ahead of him

Wade should take back the Australian ODI keeper spot

Well even 40 is better than the majority of the current top 6. In saying that, what batsman (apart from Smith) converts and converts consistently.

Australia's batting future on show in Hobart today

Doran is a Chappell pick without a doubt and if Wade didn’t get into this team then he is never going to.

Three changes confirmed in new-look Australian squad to play Sri Lanka

Think Starc is already the new whipping boy

Three changes confirmed in new-look Australian squad to play Sri Lanka

She used to play rep cricket in the boys team for Blacktown I think it was and I remember my son’s team played against her. She was fantastic and all the mums from our team were cheering almost everything she did. Was probably a better bat back then than any of the boys in their team.

Why the Stars should stick with Katie Mack

And yet CA tried to say that both Smith and Warner could play IPL. I have no doubt their teams were pressured to stand them down for the year also and both are straight back for the upcoming season. Warner’s team tweeted a message to one of Warner’s daughters for her birthday a couple of months or so ago so standing them down wasn’t because they weren’t wanted.

Sorry folks, sandpaper-gate ain’t over just yet

I was listening to Geoff Lawson on the radio this morning on the Sports Breakfast show. He said he would keep Handscomb and had watched him often in shield. Lawson said the best thing Handscomb can do is get away from the Australian coaching system and get back to his Victorian coaches and especially Shipperd (sorry about the spelling) who have worked well with him. He said for two former batsmen, Langer and Hick are doing nothing at all with the test batsmen. Another thing he said that he was very disturbed with Warne’s continuous attack against Starc and that there is an agenda there. Was interesting to listen to.

VOTE: Pick your Australian XI to play Sri Lanka

I agree but now plenty of comments state things like they were only good because Warner was tampering with the ball for all those years. I have seen it everywhere and they probably have as well. They have gone from being really good under McDermott to going backwards under Saker and it has to change.

What happened to the Aussie attack?

Just him? He is one away from 200 test wickets, hardly ordinary

Are Australia's bowlers overrated?

Ugh, another lost toss.

India will be mistaken to play two spinners in Sydney

None of them are under contract to CA right now so I don’t see what they could have done.

It’s time for Warner to come out from the bus under which he was thrown

Does that not apply to all the pace bowlers? Why just Starc.

Another Test selection embarrassment after Australia's Melbourne meltdown

Think he is sitting back watching the other two make fools of themselves with their lame interviews and commercials. We walk out of the room when Steve Smith’s commercial comes on now. Obviously a ploy to get both of them back in the good books but I think it has failed.

Another Test selection embarrassment after Australia's Melbourne meltdown

Are you talking about the Ashes? Starc got the most wickets out of our pace bowlers and bowled more overs than any of our bowlers. 2nd highest wicket taker and only 3 behind Broad who had that spell where he got 8 or 9 wickets. If that’s bad then OK

Another Test selection embarrassment after Australia's Melbourne meltdown

Yet another case of him dragging others into it. He has done it his whole career. He drops a catch it’s spider cam’s fault, he has a brain fade looking to the changerooms for advice on reviewing which the Indians were on to in the first place, he drags Handscomb into it who sounded like a total idiot in his interview on that. After their very very lame interviews I have gone right off Smith and Bancroft. I don’t believe one word that comes out of their mouths because they have lied so many times.

I'm not calling Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft liars, but...

Yet it was the umpires job to check the ball which they did numerous times and never found anything wrong with it, even after this all blew up the ball wasn’t changed. If the umpires don’t know then why would the bowlers who only touched it before they bowled.

I'm not calling Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft liars, but...

Our bowlers have a ton of ability. They don’t need anyone else to make ability happen for them and never have.

I'm not calling Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft liars, but...

Sure, but he was also the most genuine of the three.

I'm not calling Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft liars, but...

Probably, everything else is.

Cameron Bancroft dismissed third ball back on return from suspension

So with all the reverse India were getting this series are you saying they must have been cheating?

I'm not calling Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft liars, but...

Warner did apologise for his actions and more importantly he was the only one of the three of them that apologised publicly to CA and Sth Africa as well. Bancroft and Smith didn’t at the time and haven’t since.
