    NZ are also pretty Grim without Williamson NGL. Who's there best batsmen not named Williamson? Rachin?

    1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

    Rahul looked really poor to start. Looked like he was a bit rushed by carse (late pulling out his bat to leave fuller balls; very late on a short ball) and most of his runs have been through edges. He could make me eat my words now that he's in, but I think jaiswal is seeing the ball much better.

    Did some digging and I'm not as certain on this. First image attached is head's test average based on when he walks in to bat (pre or post 30 over mark) in Australia since 2021. Second image is the same for smith in all conditions in the 2010's vs 2020's. These number's are slightly out of date...

    I think the bigger question is why he's playing in a random t20 league right now? The team he's playing isn't even IPL affiliated; I doubt a good season here does anything a good bbl season wouldn't.

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    Abbott took ~20 wickets @21 last shield season when he played and outbowled starc when they played together tbf. The issue here is CA picking Abbott over O'Neill or Barlett when either can do the "bowling cover who bats a bit" schtick and aren't on the wrong side of 30. Slight tangent, but...

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    This is a VERY good point IMO. I ignored it because of how well he did vs India, but he's definitely been underperforming for a while and slipped under the radar recently because of the aforementioned India series and the other batsmen around him underperforming. I would even be open to keeping...

    Babar Azam vs Marnus Labuschagne

    I reckon Marnus could still do an Usman and force his way back into the team on the back of a few good shield seasons at 32/33. He's not even 31 and even without the luck, at his best he's a 45-50 average test batsmen. He just needs an extended run away from the national team to figure it out...

    Would require SA to go back on there national duty vs franchise stance and also hope the new coach can get klassen back. Doubt they do all of that but it's not impossible.

    Smith will be a straight swap for green. We know he can make runs at this level batting 4. Lyon could also be corey rocconcholi. Off spinner from WA who has had two good shield seasons in a row and did well when they toured. Some people have said Fergus O'Neill is too slow for international...

    What do AUS do going forward? I had some faith back in Khawaja after the SL runs but he did the exact same thing here he has been doing since the 2023 ashes against good pacers in difficult conditions. Henry, rabada and bumrah have all done the "caught on the crease, nicking a back of a length...

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    I do agree with this sentiment a bit. From the bits I saw yesterday Lyon was particularly poor. He didn't have his usual metronomic length, kept going too short or full and allowing the batsmen to drive/cut/back punch for easy 1's/2's. Half the reason his econ looks more reasonable is because...

    Bavuma got dropped on single figures by smith at slip. Dislocated his finger when he dropped it aswell. Smith was very close at slip because of the low bounce and one came fast off an edge and did his finger a number.

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    I think Australia lost this game in the 1st innings. Smith, carey and head all threw there wickets away after getting in during that middle part of day 1 where the sun was out and conditions where similar to this with slightly more bounce.

    So, does green bat 4 in the west indies now that smith is out? 1st test is in 11 days.
