I trashed my mum’s boyfriend’s HR. It was puff n stuffed after l finished with it. After that l was invited to this place for 3 weeks free food and board. Not much of a nightlife though.

Grimmet is Capricorn and they tend to blossom late. Head has also blossomed late. All things equal he’ll be there aged 38.

He was also the first to 200 and it took over 60 greats of the game to overtake him in getting to 200 quicker. Look up those names who couldn’t do it as quick and people will begin to understand the enormity of what he did.

Rocchi, Murphy, Sangha, Manenti are all thereabouts. The GOAT had better perform or he coukd be put out to pasture. I think Rocchi is a very good bowler. He pushes the ball well with flight, drift, drop & turn. Pretty excellent really.

I hope the Windies do too. I don’t like the tail wagging the dog re Warner. We need to blood an opener now to get them acclimatised to the team, etc, and then springboard into England-lite conditions of NZ and go with a few consecutive tests under their belt to face India on their tracks.
Why this is not happening l have no clues; just no clues.

We did well. Curtin and Michelanney will marshall the back. The otger 2, apart from Curtin, are apparently run n dob players which is what we needed to make use of what is a fairly good attack. The Irish guy looks like he can ghost a few and that’s always handy.

Another interesting thing is that the vastly less experienced Murphy struck a wicket with an average of 12 fewer balls and a better average r/w. On the English tour.

But it should be happening sooner so they can bed themselves in. Warner treating the test team as the vehicle for his career’s funeral pyre / farewell tour is both presumptuous and arrogant. Maybe he should take the famous JFK invocation by asking himself what he can do for his country instead of the other way round.

I actually believe there is no-one good enough our roads at test level as good as Warner this season. However why keep him for someone from the SS who may grow in stature over a home series where they may then show some capabilities overseas borne of the confidence recently garnered. Where they stand a much better chance of then producing the goods better than Warner. Is it a gamble? Yes. Is it worth doing? Yes. We win by being proactive.

Warner could try graciousness and resign before the first test.

——–
“Unusually for Australia there were also rumours (which turned out to be true) of rifts in the touring party over the captain’s (Lawry: my edit) autocratic style of leadership. At the start of the tour he described his vice-captain Ian Chappell as “the best batsman in the world in any conditions”. In South Africa Chappell averaged 11.50 in eight innings with a top score of 34.”
———
I think Bill was referring to Ian, not Dougie. This was a big part if the reason why Ian only had an average of 35 upon appointment of Captain.

Fair enough. You are more gracious to Warner than me. I reckon give time to the new bloke to bed in, on our turf, which hopefully bodes well fiyr them when the next tour happens

I treat them independently. Attacking strategies and tactics are not only the preserve of Captains but also selectors. When l repair body work or trim on a car l don’t consider where I’m going to get something to fix it with. I remove the offending discrepancy regardless. I worry about the replacement independently.
