He said virtually the same thing prior to the WTF final and Ashes that nobody is guaranteed a spot game to game … and then picked Warner each of the following 6 Tests despite further modest returns

Lyon, not by his own choosing, is following a similar path to Anderson, who cut the limited-overs formats from his workload in his mid 30s

Why Lyon should keep playing Tests into his roaring 40s - and Maxwell can keep white-ball berths as long as he wants

there’s a suspicion he is trying to remain relevant in T20 cricket so he can boost his chances (and earning potential) on the global circuit in a year or 2, particularly in the US

the weird thing about the selectors not picking Ashton Turner is he’s pretty much what George Bailey was 10 years ago – a very good middle-order bat and astute captain but not necessarily one of the best couple of batting options

if you had to put money on it, you’d think the selectors will stick with the conservative method as they have done many times recently with Smith & Stoinis but Short has another BBL season like last summer he should be in the WC squad ahead of both of them

Smith probably had the best career but it’s not a given that he was the greatest player of all time

Lazarus was a class above those props, Harragon was probably the closest to him along with Ian Roberts but they were not as durable

He was a very good 2nd banana but he was always a class below Stuart, Langer, Daley, Fittler in the 1990s

the understated fact about Ken Irvine is that he scored the majority of his tries for a not so great Norths team, imagine if he was with a powerhouse team like St George or Souths

Fittler had an unusual career, he was dynamic as a young player, plateaued a bit during what should have been the prime of his career and was then probably his most complete as a player when leading the Roosters in their five-year stretch of 4 GFs at the tail end of his career

there was 100 named from the first century then 10 named by the following decade, there will likely be another 5 named next year another 5 by the end of 2028 … the balance is about right if it’s just one HOFer per season on average, some sports like basketball do way more

Lozza would be an Immortal if the selection criteria was based around a player’s best few seasons but injuries and the SL war derailed his career somewhat at club and rep level

Fittler was a very good player and a phenomenal talent but it’s hard to see him ever getting into the Immortals, Laurie Daley is probably in that category too … Lockyer, Slater, Thurston, Cameron Smith have racked up many more achievements than those two even though you could argue Fittler and Daley on their day was just as impactful
