On the topic of Camerons and suspect actions, anyone else think that Gannon has looked a lot better this year so far. Possibly even legal?

Tim Paine record is bizarre. 33 fifties and only 2 hundreds, one of them a double
Pretty sure that he’s about 6’6” as there’s been discussions about how few test quality batsmen there’s been of his height

I didn't really care about the Shield Foxtel announcement because I was happy casting it from the CA site anyway, but today I have discovered it means I get to watch it at my favourite pub.
Of course my boi Tom Andrews was batting when I showed up too. Brilliant.

On the other hand, I may have to watch Paine make a Shield ton, putting another knife into the heart of one of my favourite stat memes over the years.

When he was made captain, the coach (Lehmann) had more recently made a FC ton.

Whatever it takes!!!
While I understand the logic of picking the side first and then the captain, surely there is a case to be made that every player goes through bad patches and kicking out a captain just because they are not in form does not seem too bright?
I mean, didn't they carry Taylor around forever when he was out of form as captain? Its such over-romanticizing of simple concepts that can actually cause more harm to the side.

Ide says the selectors will throw him in as soon as he's bowling fluently again, purely as a batsman mad dog deserves a go before him but I don't know if the selectors will be able to say no if he's bowling.

Yeah great temperament for an opener but his technique was a bit ehhh for it. I used to worry about his ability to rotate the strike against a softer ball when first coming in if he dropped down but he handled that really well in the BBL.

Yeah once he's bowling he's playing. As a pure bat there should be others still ahead of him but we're talking about someone for who that's a debate, who is 21 years old and good enough to play Shield as a bowler when fit.

You misunderstand. It was Border's way of saving Australian cricket yet again. His comments stirred Paine's loins and gave him the necessary fire in the belly to finally ton up and get into form for the thumping we're going to hand India.
