He cant very well say it is a "*smile* squad", can he?
a few regulars didnt tour, hopefully about 6 of them are batsmen.

It was an embarrassing batting performance last night - but not that different to what was displayed throughout the series. Not one batsman can take any positives from both the WI and Bang series' apart from Mitch Marsh.

Henriques - surely he is done now in Australian colors.
Wade - a perenially average batsman. Incredible we have persisted for so long for such middling returns.
McDermott - definition of a flat track bully. Has not shown much at all in Australian colors.
Phillippe - I have been very disappointed with what I have seen since he debuted for Australia. Not convinced about him long term at all. Comparisons with Steve Smith are laughable at this stage.
Turner - another flat track bully. At least offers some off spin bowling - but not convinced at all with the bat.
Carey - has shown flashes at international level, but hasnt come on like had been expected. I fear he is going down the Wade route now with his performances. I'd be taking a look at Inglis over both him and Wade now.

Our lack of depth has certainly been highlighted over the last few weeks.

No, of course he can’t say that. Not sure why you’d say that. But why say it’s young when it’s not?
 
Enthralling test cricket going on in England. India leading by 193, 8 wickets down and lots of verbal altercations. Bumrah getting bounced and swinging hard, just been hit in the helmet. He’s showing a lot of guts. I hope he runs through the poms like a dose of salts. Just love test cricket.

Good session of cricket, nice to see the application from the Indian tail who make it to lunch still 8 down. England overdid the aggression and lost the advantage they had.

Who says Test cricket is dead.

Would be good to see Cricket Australia show some love towards Test cricket at some point. I know we are in a pandemic, but we would have to be well down the list in terms of the number of Tests we have played during 2020/21. Seems like we are only interested in playing India or Eng for the $$$
