Hack Darling. On a serious note – it should either be Bailey or Flynn with J Williams chopping out. What will likely happen sadly is Bailey and Flynn which is not the most mobile combo.

All wishful promises on your end. Nothing concrete here.

Rucks take longer to mature and Bailey is just getting there. You’re just sulky we didn’t splash the big bucks on Tim.

One or the other. It gets too tall otherwise with Waterman and Allen and possibly J Williams.

It will be an interesting season with all the off-season changes. Good to see pressure on the small forward spots and some tougher bodies in midfield. Ruck and KPD will be the issues especially if McGovern goes down. Flynn did not look too fit last season and will be under pressure. A hopeful prediction is that Bailey Williams has a Tim English-style breakout year as a mobile ruckman. The recruitment of Baker et al takes the pressure off Yeo to be the aggressive player in midfield. 12th would be a successful season.

Yes but did he doctor his sample with gatorade?

A shame for you.

Malcolm Conn: Webster and Konstas bring the spirit the Aussies desperately need to rejuvenate line-up

True much better results now that you mention it. One border gavaskar trophy plus a WTC trophy and holding every bilateral series. I’m glad you agree.

Who is the same guy as Cameron Greencroft?

Largely the same squads with better results. A shame its a results business.

Is there anything left to win?

It’s pretty obvious that captain and coach should now resign. They are not in a position to win anymore trophies in the test arena.

'Immensely proud': Ruthless Aussies put inept India to the sword to break decade-long Border-Gavaskar Trophy drought

Never in doubt eh? The grinches on our side should really get out more.

Bumrah to throw around the bat for a quick fire 300 in the first session.

Pant’s T20 fireworks display gives India the edge as Australia’s Trophy hopes fade despite Boland machine's excellence

Another lovely day of test cricket abetted by a spicy pitch. Kudos to both sides’ bowlers fighting back with the ball.

“Someone that’s got a bit more about them” is quite vague – do you want more homespun homilies, passive aggression and tub thumping? What made the previous incumbents more of a coach than McDonald?

Aussies make major change for fifth Test with debutant called up to replace veteran star

Australia was well ahead after the first innings. India did well to hang in but it’s exagerrating to say a session was the difference. If you’re being generous India won perhaps 5-6 sessions out of the 14 full sessions played.

Fresh twist in Rohit Sharma saga as reports emerge coach rejected skipper's bid for Sydney farewell, axed him instead

Can you do a Bernie-style article on this please? I want esoteric stats where runs are discounted depending on the difficulty of the chance dropped of Labuschagne plus an arcane index measuring impact of said runs on the result; )

Im just asking re the data behind your assertions. I gather you agree that Ponting had a good captaincy record with an attack boasting McGrath, Warne and Gillespie and an excellent batting order. Someone else has also noted his winning record dropped to ~50% post some retirements. Quelle surprise.

Whatever the result, bowling captains will have won all of the tests this series. Stats eh?

How you interpret McDonald’s coaching style really boils down to what you think coaching should be. There are different ways to coach – just look at examples from other sports.
The proof is in the pudding.

The irony of claiming i missed out on two generations of the best cricketers going worldwide while forgetting the team Ponting had in 2005 (Warne, McGrath etc) is well and truly lost on you. Have a good one.

How 'woke Pat' overcame 'Aussie exceptionalism' to keep calm and carry on winning as one of our greatest leaders

Thank you Bernie for providing the context. I found Dougie’s proposition re Ponting having to rely on Hilfenhaus et al quite astounding- and then he had the gall to claim i missed out on 2 generations of impressive cricketers- he forgot Warne and McGrath 😉

Or he could just be coaching in a less vocal style than the previous incumbent.
