Australia ODI team vs West Indies: Debutants to have a ball at MCG but Victorian hopefuls snubbed

The age of the Aussie team is a big worry

Bazball won’t save Test cricket - but it’s time to give ‘whingeing Poms’ overdue credit for dramatic turnaround

Smith is still a concern at the top. He really should’ve controlled the strike at the end there. Khawaja will continue but they’ll need to to replace him by 2025 I would say at the latest. Lab has been found out by international teams. Has averaged only 39 with Cummins as captain. He needs to turn it around. Head is feast or famine but is still young enough to hang around. Green should focus on his batting and be encouraged to bowl part time at most. Marsh won’t be consistent and should be the primary bowling all rounder. Carey was solid this summer but his replacement should be in the wings and ready. Pierson or Inglis should be doing all they can. The team has a long tail which is a problem. It’d be nice for one of the main bowlers to be a consistent bat. This is an old team with not many replacements for the great players ready to take over.

Every Aussie rated from second Test and series vs West Indies: Did Smith the opener get vindicated even in defeat?

A very popular win around Australia I would say. Australia collapsed like a deck of cards

It should be canceled though. Get on board. It’s not for you to decide. First Nations people are in charge.

South Africa made it part of their participation in international cricket to add much needed diversity. We have to right wrongs even if we have to force it. There has to be many indigenous players who should get their chance

Exactly. Even further down the line then that. It wasn’t really a thing until 2013 when a certain party made it part of their platform to make this racist day bigger. All councils and governments should ban it

'Choose a better date': Cummins wants Australia Day moved as CA chief sledged for 'bizarre' trainwreck interview

He’s absolutely right. The appropriate stance would be to go on strike and cancel the test until the traditional owners are consulted on this issue. It’s their land. It’s their choice. Cricket is the colonizers game. It’s 2024 and it’s about time those who belong to the land the Gabba sits on get to make the call. I’m really happy Pat has made this his position. It means we can all move forward together. If only other players and other sports would do the same. No longer can we play the white mans games on land stolen through genocide without consultation
