Mitchell Johnson’s commentary role in doubt as fallout continues over Warner column

Former teammates of Mitchell Johnson, David Warner and George Bailey have expressed their disappointment at the latest fracture in the baggy green brotherhood as the speedster reveals texts that fuelled his fiery column.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that Dave Warner might respond to criticism by giving someone a spray and then refusing to talk to them.

Well not that shocked.

I don't remember Steve Waugh's farewell tour in 2003-04 starting out like this.

I don't remember Steve Waugh's farewell tour in 2003-04 starting out quite like this.

TBF no-one was probably game enough to shit-talk Steve Waugh either. I doubt he'd be the type to send an angry SMS, he'd just thump you right in the nose.

I totally forgot MJ had his issues with his mental health but I found what Bailey said and how the media ran that story quite uncomfortable.

The Koala Waugh red hanky tour was the biggest wank in Oz cricket history .... Ab and Punter didn't get anything like that type of farewell and both were much better cricketers

31 overs into the PM XI match and Green hasn't bowled yet? You'd think that would be a bit of a priority heading into the Test summer.

I assume he's fit to bowl as he's playing.

Giving the Pakistan batters a chance - no one wants a short warm up game.

God I hope they are at least competitive in this tour. One sided test summers stink

We really are doing the best we can to **** the generational talent they keep telling us he is over.

If they're planning on playing him in the Test XI, you can understand not wanting to overload him and just playing him here as a way to get time at the crease against the red ball. But if they're planning on having him run drinks while the Bison plays tests its very confusing

 

[Dazzler9]

The workload management of fast/young bowlers is a vexxed issue. Old school thinking says the more you play, the more hardened you become, and there's truth to that. But as a man of science, there's also benefit in following sports science approaches.

I think there's a happy medium somewhere where it balances out a little bit better than it has done for Greeny (and now Lance Morris) in recent years.

Can't see them playing him in the first test.

If it's between Marsh and him, they would've picked Marsh to play as well you would've thought.

Marsh is the better bat but if they're worried about Lyon coming off an injury and the three quicks coming off a gruelling WC, maybe they prefer Green for his bowling?

I can't see them not playing Marsh.

George Bailey pretty much said as much when talking about the incumbents.

No point picking him for his bowling if the captain won't give him the ball

McSweeney seems like an odd choice for captaincy

I know he was in India but Kinda disappointed Hardie wasn’t picked (he’s back in Aus atm).

Surely that's out handled ball (LOL) rather than obstructing the filed?? Definitely out though.
