Just been thinking about how to solve our top-order question.

What happened to Dawid Malan, Adam Lyth and Sam Robson? They all have England centuries. I like Ballance but no-one else does...

I once had 35/6 catches dropped off me in one season as a young leggie. I might have played at a higher level if 20 of them had been taken   :D :D in my dreams!
3 years ago 10 catches dropped in last 5 games, next season it started where it was left,
Then you got umpires who decide before inning is started not to give any lbw🙂

That was on the cards our batting has been weak for a while
Thorpe hopefully we need a bit more ‘dog’ in our approach to tests.

Thorpe had an attacking game plus the grit needed
He was a superb player

Thorpe as the title lead batting coach so are they looking to bring in an Alister   Cook Geoff Boycott type coach

Australia’s forgotten paceman James Pattinson stepped up his bid for Ashes selection with a blistering performance against New South Wales. Aside from Cummins, Pattinson is probably their best bowler.

I reckon Pattinson will make the A tour ahead of the Ashes, maybe the final squad, but will miss out on actually playing any games. Imo Aussie pace attack will be Starc, Cummins, Hazelwood and either Jhye Richardson or Peter Siddle.

I'll go for England if Australia throw another game down the Peter Siddle drain. But good shout about Pattinson, he really Is the forgotten man of Australian cricket. A pretty capable batsman too, which gives him a distinct edge over Hazelwood.

Always best to have a few spares available considering how fragile the Australian quirks are.

Pattinson has always been Test class, without injuries he'd have played 50 Tests already. Also has the advantage over the other contenders of playing County Champs fairly recently. I dont doubt that Starc will take wickets but he will go for 4s & 5s all day and im not sure the Australian batting line up can afford that in English conditions

Some interesting batting cards in this round of Sheffield Shield with the Dukes ball. None of the maybe batsman hammering the door down and some actively harming their cases. Harris looked all at sea opening for Victoria and Patterson produced nothing for NSW

Was at Drummoyne Oval for the 1st day of NSW v Victoria and couldn't believe it was a first class fixture. Some of the dismissals were very soft. Lovely little ground though

Saw a bunch of highlights on the interweb of the Tasmania vs WA game, every time I see him bat I think Wade looks quality, is he not on the radar as a batsman?
