Good to see the Aussies heading in a "new direction."

Everyone and their dog could see that the three frontline seamer line-up was not going to work on a pitch this flat, but we just can't help playing the Cartel.

 

[Campaigner for good]

Seems we have not learnt a lesson from this summer's visitors. Play the conditions, not some fancy plan.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

If we were going to play 3 seamers I’d have backed in Boland over Starc. At least he has his cutters and accuracy.

Wtf??

 

[MIKE85]

No way!! Surely wouldn’t be reported by fox sports if not true? What a life though, crammed a fair bit in 52 years

RIP 2 Legends

 

[ep2018]

He obviously wasn't the healthiest bloke but that is shocking, way too young for a heart attack. WTF two cricket legends dead on the same day.

 

[LittleFires]

I can't believe this, what a shock. RIP

 

[RookiePick]

Holy shit. Warney too.

A bit to come out on this one I'd wager

 

[Avalor]

First Rod Marsh and now Shane Warne, both to heart attacks - an unbelievable WTF.
So tragic!

 

[Mr Eagle]

Wot?

 

[Monocle]

WTF

 

[PintSzedSlasher]

RIP the king.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

So so sad

So devo

 

[Chris_6678]

Wtf…..

 

[KBLT]

What the fu**??

52 is way, way too young. I thought it was an insensitive hoax at first. I'd barely begun to process Bacchus. What a terrible day.

Someone just pointed out that on all days, today is Daryl Cullinan's birthday

Haunting him beyond the grave.

Fecks sake, can’t believe he is dead.

 

[MrWoollie]

Bacchus Marsh and Warnie. RIP.

Legend is an over-used word, but for these two it's a tag that is well and truly justified.

A little side fact. Warnie is the only Wisden cricketer of the century who is not a 'sir'. He was named one of Wisden's Five Cricketers of the Century, alongside Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Jack Hobbs and Sir Vivian Richards. Illustrious company nevertheless.

Hope he was behaving himself in Thailand. Old habits die hard though.

Rip legend. 52 is scary young.
