You watched him in one game. He's a good bowler. That being said, I don't hate Johnson either.I've seen no evidence that Bird's a better bowler than Johnson.
Ideally, Bird and Siddle wouldn't be in the same lineup, but I don't know if they'll have much choice about that.So that's three stress fractures to the back that seamers got this series, Bird getting a sore one, plus Cummins doing his in SA, right?
It really is horrific.
If Patto isn't fit for the Gabba, my three would be; Harris, Bird & Siddle. Not really sure who the back up would be, might be early season Shield form dependent.
Absolutely, I used to be more a fan of Cutting but since Sayers start a couple yaers ago I think he's on a short list for most. I hope anyway.So if we subscribe to the Benchmark school of thought, Australia needs another swing bowler to replace Starc. The next best option on that front is probably Sayers, who has demonstrated the ability to bowl effective swing during his FC career and he has A tour experience.
oh to be fly on the wall as to how you started chatting about his cousins likelihood of stardom.I had a cabbie the other night who was Gurinder Sandhu's cousin. Picketing for his selection just to be three degrees of separation away from a Test cricketer.
