FFS you wouldn't believe it.

Got any more of those... domestic over-30 seamers with unflattering high averages but that can maintain their pace over long spells? Logan van Beek must be rueing his luck.

I don't want any of our players to get CTE, but I reckon we need someone in the coaching staff whose job is to give our injured players concussions

Mostly in the 136-142 range from what I could tell.

I think you pointed out Danru Ferns earlier in the series. I think he's lucky to still be selected domestically.

If we want a Tickner-like bowler, I guess punt on McKay?

Think I've posted i like McKay's action a few times but he's bled runs like mad this season and barely taken wickets.

Let's just hope Jamieson is ready for the third test.

Can anyone recall another test series which has been completely ruined/turned on its head by multiple tests featuring mid-game injuries? Like seriously wtf. ICC need to introduce injury subs just for us.

I genuinely think injury subs should be allowed. I know the concern is that it'll get abused, but it's worked fine for concussion subs, and it's just horrible when a team is affected by an injury to a key player early in a match, especially when it's a bowler.
