Great news. Must take a look at his innings. YouTube?
Are we about to see a new stage of the evolution of this multi talented cricketer.

He had retire hurt in that innings due to severe cramping.

Also feel free to post here with anything pertaining to Australian cricket. I gather you are not an Aussie. Indian?

Thank you! You're right I'm not an Aussie. I'm from Switzerland

Some interesting discussion coming out of the WTC final Sharkie.

 

[Richie]

Australia squad for WTC final: Pat Cummins (c), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Matt Kuhnemann, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Beau Webster. Travelling reserve: Brendan Doggett

Understand this is the same squad for the Caribbean tour. Gotta say this is typical 'jobs for the old boys' policy from Mac and George going with 35, 31 yr olds as reserve bowlers. Would also have been an ideal time to blood a young bowler, someone like in form Fergus O'Neil or a fit Lance Morris even all rounder Aaron Hardie.

Baffled why no release of 25/26 state contracts given final selections were supposed to be finalized by end of April.

One guy that wont be on the Blues roster is bowling all rounder Hanno Jacobs who has returned to his pathways home SA on a three year deal. Blues also losing Dan Hughes and Henriques to retirement. Gotta say not before time for the latter. I see my home state struggling again unless they promote some junior talent. I will also be supporting both WA and Tassie.
