Disembowel a bloodnut pommy keeper?

Quiet achiever Carey starting to enter rare air of Australia’s all-time wicketkeeping greats

I think he has cute big toes.

He was heading up to Strokes to stroke Strokes’ ego a tad more.

We could wager matches, still dicey however.

The Tittiez are talked up as the next big thing before most seasons start, and yet they inevitably find a way to mediocrity. Still this year will see that change.

The cat is demanding an apology Tony!

I can recall commentators talking about stumpings during Marsh’s tenure in the same manner as contested scrums in league or drop kicks in Oz Rules; gone but not forgotten. Maybe the drop kick is coming back?

Guilty as charged RA.

Something I enjoy about Carey is that he is a classical test keeper/batsman, so nostalgic I guess. Everyone else who followed has tried to bat like Adam, and I’ve only seen one bloke bat like that, Adam himself. “Go your own way” as the old tune reminds us.

There were media rumours back a bit that the NRL was looking at taking over SL, but not sure if that was all it was. Pete V seems to sh1+ diamonds.

If you look in his little trophy cabinet he keeps in the toilet, there is a highly faded premiership ring that Phil Gould donated to him. That ring has earned him 20+ years of big salary for mediocre coaching.

Manages the same sulky glare too.

Not to mention Bjorn back in the day, as big as ABBA.

Kinda like he follows the wisdom of Lao Tzu.

Will Australia have the Galle to play just one fast bowler in Sri Lanka - Starc or Boland for solitary role?

David Boon was pretty quiet, let his imbibing do the talking.

Put the bad boy at 7, and the soon to depart youngster at 6. Unless Nicho finds a way to run the side under pressure, with stress triggers going off in his swede, which is highly unlikely, he will never be a gun 7. I would suggest that by his good nature, he compounded the situation for himself by giving his mum a roof, and probably wonders why head feels like exploding at times. Lockyer, a well deserving legend of the game, went from 1 to 6 seamlessly, but couldn’t manage the jump to 1st receiver for whatever reason. Luai is attempting 6 to 7 this year, and it will be interesting to see how he goes outside of the Riff.

Round 1 Predicted Teams: Sharks - Star recruit puts Cronulla in title contention, rising star set to miss starting spot

Got to look at a ~25 yo bloke if they’re setting up for long term success. Maybe one of the young ones they’ve introduced if he has it together by the time Cummins goes, Cam Green maybe?

Smith under cloud for Sri Lanka as Kuhnemann clings onto hope despite broken thumb

He freezes under stress and seven is too much for him, but because he has the FB skills from childhood, he handles the pressure of organising the defensive line very well, with contemporary full backs similar to half backs in importance to the team anyway, they aren’t missing out on value by moving him to his preferred spot. Advocating for himself is not a strength either, room him for a week with Zac Lomax.

It will take a bit to get the big bloke in front of it too.

They will need him if Reynolds breaks down, and Hunt has had a golden run with injury thus far.

Can’t get his melon through the doorway. Send him back to SL.

Don’t forget Maxwell. Though I guess he has the emotional maturity of an 18yo.

Bison always was, just he and selectors didn’t realise.
