Well Merv Hughes apparently thinks they should. But he's shown this week already he isn't very bright.

Of course, he used to be a selector didn't he? FMD no wonder we went to the ****ter.

Hobart (and Tasmania) is a cracking place. The big 'Ho FM' sign for the local FM radio station that is situated above the baggage carousel always gives me a laugh.

Word is that sanity will prevail and Harris is gone. Boland is touch and go and Jhye will come straight in if he doesn't pull up tomorrow.

It entertains me no end how much the English media and some fans are fretting over their bowlers pace when they've been getting rekt by a 32 year old medium fast bowler staying in the corridor.

Not to mention Cummins and Haze are the premium version of the above, just operating a touch quicker.

I kinda want England to use a wildcard opener but I suppose Burns coming back is fine

Harris deserves an extended run imo. Everyone can see his potential. Usman is very old and won't make most of the counties let alone England if he played for England

apart from the poor coach/player relationship, shouldn't BOLAND and KHAWAJA be just about the first names you'd select for this last test?
KHAWAJA could easily end up top series run scorer, even having played only 2 of the 5 tests.
likewise BOLAND could well be top wicket taker, playing only 3 of the 5.
anything other than INJURY stopping these guys playing would have to go down as COMICAL.

Also, I’d report you for this outrageous slur, but I don’t have tissue paper for dermis and fail to take it as a personal or nationalistic slight when someone has a crack at my home town like they do about everywhere else, because I’m a real person.

Just a feeling but it does feel like Langer is losing a bit of control over the group. Coming on from Pats comments the other day, I don’t think he will last

It’s not completely awful, but it thinks it’s Paris and is completely up its own arse because it has lane way cafes.
It’s really just Wagga Wagga with alleys.

as it happens, by chance, I have been to all 6 places in question.
MELBOURNE -lived there for 6 years, magical city to live in.
SYDNEY -lived there for 8 years, also a wonderful city to live in.
HOBART -very pleasant place to visit, couldn't live there though.
CHENNAI -played the world bridge champs for 2 weeks, never left the hotel, but what a palace, the best I've seen, google GRAND CHIOLA, Chennai.
PARIS -nice enough for a 2-3 day trip.
WAGGA WAGGA - no comment.
