dentist freez? if you're talking about henry lawson wasn't he an optometrist?

LOL yep Lawson was indeed an optometrist BC....thanks for the correction......didnt think Henry was that rich TBH

Mitchel Johnson hasn't been retired a few days now.Was reported In the media this morning that jonno will help his mate Ryan Harris.Aust A bowling coach.Good to see Mitch still involved.

Time for Starc to take charge!

Even a parochial one eyed West Aussie like myself can no longer defend the Marsh brothers Test claims ...2 & 4 respectively sheesh!

the situation is that bad, that as a West Australian, one is no longer able to complain about the exceptionally long career of Dyson; in fact one can't complain about the chairman of selectors as he is one of the chosen people himself.

also -- just for the record -- I remain unequivocally opposed to giving WSC official recognition. It is the re-writing of history and is utter rubbish.

Totally agree BH.....gonna need a big effort from here to save this test.....let alone win it.....Starc out injured....the Marsh brothers forming the nucleus of Aust middle order.....mmmmm Craig taking wickets.....points to a tied series 1 - 1 I reckon

Off the top of my head I reckon we would have to go back 30 years to find a more flaky 5 & 6 in the batting order then we currently have Freeze?

Feel a bit for the kiwis here.The Lyon decision was terrible and had a major impact on the 3rd test.A target of around 300 would of been a good chase.

We are now relying on the Marsh brothers to win us a Test series!!
