Indeed. Fighter pilot (well, Mosquito's so fighter/bomber) Arcade star. Represented Victoria at VFL level.
Dashing, handsome. Good enough to open the bowling and bat at 4 in one of the best Test teams of all time. and very good 'friend' of Princess Margaret.
I just finished a biography of Denis Compton - they had similar stats off-field, I'd say.
 
Uzi barely saw the first two catches he took and was nowhere near the dropped one.

If he wasn’t ill his eyes have gone.

Anyone who’s played with old blokes know the signs .
speaking as a much older bloke, you are spot on. It shows with his batting. Playing back to everything. The two catches he did actually take were juggled surprises.

I've been a big fan, but time is up.

It will be interesting to see if they give him a farewell game at the Gabba. They didn't for Healy, who actually deserved it.
 
Would you?

I’d say it was a great performance by Travis Head, Mitchell Starc, and to a lesser extent Scott Boland and Marnus for a time. Doggett I suppose bowled handily for a bit. Both sides have some huge self-reflection to do but crucially one team knows it is likely to get stronger, and that it a) has the Ashes and b) now has a lead
and c) is at home, and d) actually has the capacity for self-reflection.

Princess Margaret would have been a lot of fun to hang around. She definitely saw the upside in our Keith.

couldn't believe his first ball in the 2nd innings was around 130k's, and never actually tried to ramp it up.

Pea Heart?

Well he did, he got it into the 140s clearly. It’s a pattern throughout his career. Very few bowlers - and it’s an incredibly underrated aspect of his cricket - bowl like Mitchell Starc does. I still can’t believe how underrated it is that he is so consistent with his speed.

England actually showed at times against India that they can do it. Unfortunately in that series for them, in the hour or so of cricket that ultimately determined the outcome of the series, that self-reflection probably counted for nothing

Call me crazy, but is Lyon worth even playing in a Pink Ball test?

Gimme someone who hoops it

How many seamers do you want? 3 quicks plus Green plus likely Webster. That’s 5. Nice to have a spinner for at worst variety.
 
100%. imo he does not give a fk about test cricket or english cricket. Just playing cos he's scared of the blowback of not playing.

That’s why he’s spent 5 years on his rehab getting to this point. He could have f**ked off years ago to the circuit and made a fortune. What blowback mate? What a ridiculous notion
