The point of the tour would be to fill in a space on the calendar. I’d much rather the old days where a test series was played, then a tri-series in ODIs were played.

But that will never happen again.

Gee whiz,maybe if Greg Chappell knew a Split Enz Concert was around the Corner,he may have taken Game 4 of the ODI Finals against New Zealand and we may never even heard of Underarm!

Good luck if you can get it,whilst Patty lived it up at a Coldplay Concert yesterday.

Test Bowling Potential Benny?

From what I’ve seen of him, he’s a bloody gun!

But he’s had an unusual, if not crazy, rise to first class cricket.

He’s only played a handful of games in Big Bash and FC cricket, but some of his performances have been unreal. He took 6/87 on FC debut vs Vics, then took 7/47 in his next match!

Bowls rapid rocks.

Plenty of potential.

Would like to see him bag at least 300 Career Test Wickets!
