Yeah I thought there was too. Maybe cricket.com.au just haven’t uploaded it to their matches. They’ve definitely done that before.
Thats a PMX1 match. Reading that is between 2nd and 3rd Test.

Needs to prove his body can last a four day game. If the case have him in a heartbeat.
The problem is there is no way he jumps in front of Boland, Neser and Morris AT LEAST by taking a T20 5-for.
Agree. CA and several former players know white ball is only an audition for him as he has the skill to be a Test bowler. Only consideration is, will his body stand up to five days of gruelling, relentless Test cricket.
I dont see that as a problem as being a leftie he will jump all three if Starc goes down. I believe CA has earmarked him as Starcs replacement only if he can convince them of his fitness. They also know he wants Starcs job when he retires, which hopefully isnt that long.
I would rather we bring in Morris as a strike bowler. Having a left armer is very good but I honestly think it’s still overrated.
I’d rather bring in a bowler that we know is good in test matches than bring in someone that’s done well in the T20 side.
I’d rather we bring in Joel Paris, who is averaging 19.8 with the ball from 46 first class matches, if we really want a left armer. Assuming he stays fit.
Johnson just has not played enough shield cricket. I’m sure the class is there, but he hasn’t been practicing test match lines and lengths, doesn’t have his workloads up at all and he’s honestly a bit of an unknown quantity in long format matches.
Correct on all points. Morris yes, the other pair are stop gaps and we dont need that as it is now time to blood our next generation. I am fine for Paris to be the reserve bowler for this series but they keep on picking guys who will never play much more Test cricket as it is.
