Stress fracture of back. Feel for the guy. What is it with Aussie pacemen and back injuries?
If they dare risk them for the first test. Might not be ready for that one if not had many matches before it.Well Pattinson and Bird should be fit, so that'd be pretty ridiculous if they do that
That's what we are hearing in Oz as well.Headline on cricinfo, or the UK version anyway, is "Injured Starc likely to miss Ashes"
Johnson still hasn't showed he's suited to the style of bowling we're trying so i dont see how he can be considered a favourite. (that style btw is don't bowl short **** that cook can smack. Starc was erratic with line, but not necessarily length. But MJ....)So Harris, Siddle & Johnson for The Gabba then, yeah?
Thought the word on Patto was the WACA at the earliest?Well Pattinson and Bird should be fit, so that'd be pretty ridiculous if they do that
I've seen no evidence that Bird's a better bowler than Johnson.Well Pattinson and Bird should be fit, so that'd be pretty ridiculous if they do that
He is on track for the Gabba, but it will probably end up being one of those 'are the selectors/physios going to let him play, or want be cautious instead' kind of things. If the Gabba wicket looks like it's gonna have a bit in it for the seamers I'd def be playing Bird over an 'as yet to be ascertained' option.Thought the word on Patto was the WACA at the earliest?
Obvz if he's properly fit, he plays.
Not convinced the Gabba would be Bird's kinda deck tho, tbh.
