https://play.cricket.com.au/match/1f35d5ec-8033-4b9d-9dd0-99424e1989f5 Here’s the match link for my colts match on Sunday. Not really sure when I’m batting or bowling, but I’m a tall, brown haired fast bowler (Cody Hanna). There is another fast bowler in the team that’s exactly the same height...

Yeah same, he’s the only person in the team that’s put his hand up to do it, and it means we have our 6 nets batsmen playing in the top 6.

I would love for Konstas to be consistent, he could EASILY find himself opening the batting for the test team in a year or 2.

I’m still strongly against opening with Head outside of Asia. Against an accurate bowler with a brand new swinging/seaming ball he’s dead meat. He statistically has a small box near his off stump that he really to deal with compared to everything else. Opening with him exploits that weakness...

Yeah not the scratchies unfortunately. I’ll be available for colts on Sundays and all those matches will be definitely be streamed. There are 32 people available for 1 team though so I’ll need to be selected first 😂.

Had a 35 over a side scratch match on turf yesterday. Went way better than my first one where I got carted. Felt like I was bowling pretty quick, was hitting a good line and length most of the time. Got a fraction of away swing and seam movement with a 25 over old kookaburra 4 piece. Didn’t...

Honestly I think the 10 overs of allrounder/part timer stuff can be really fun. It’s also often the point where the match can turn on its head. I love watching Head and Labuschagne come on and roll the arm over. I think needing 5 bowlers worth of overs spices up the game a bit more. With 4...

Oh wow that’s really cool. Basically removes the main downside of solar power, ie not doing anything at night. I guess it would also make solar power more efficient if it can take in infra red during the day too. If we start harvesting all the energy coming from the sun we might start to...

Something I find cool is that a collapsing glacier will actually effectively lower the sea level in the immediate area of the glacier. “Isostatic rebound” is when a large amount of weight is removed from a land mass, which allows that land to rise higher. Yes all land has been slowly rising...

Yeah I agree, Head is weirdly good at being a golden arm bowler. But there is no way he should ever be taking 4 wickets IN ENGLAND.

The thing is when you start leaving your crease you’re at way bigger risk of getting stumped. If the ball is turning then you’re bound to play and miss at a couple and it only takes one minor misjudging of length to miss a ball and get out. Not saying using your feet is wrong, but it’s a very...

Having a few friendlies. Proper season starts in 2 weeks I think.

90% of the travelling I’ve done has been within Australia, with most of that in south-western Australia (such a beautiful place). Had a caravan trip around Aus with my parents, really sad that I was too young to remember any of it really. Often go to Darwin where I have cousins and go fishing...

Really? It was weirdly warm and dry for a couple of weeks but I guess it has cooled down now a bit, I don’t know if it’s the coldest ever though.

My favourite stat is that Abbott has the most economical ODI innings ever, taking 2 wickets for 1 run off 5 overs against New Zealand in 2022.

I’ve watched the Perth scorchers play and the test match against Pakistan. It’s an exceptional stadium to watch cricket at. The only problem I have with us getting the first test is it’s not school holidays yet and people love to complain that we don’t get as many people to test matches as...

To be fair Sean Abbott is more a bowler that can bat. Although I’m still not a massive fan of his bowling anyway. He was arguably our worst bowler in the Scotland series. Bartlett is injured now too.

Would help if they didn’t start at 1:30am AWST

To be fair this is still an exceptionally warm week considering we’re only 10 days into spring. Is usually a bit colder.

Probably got the best couple weeks of weather I’m going to have all year coming up.
