Green's a fantastic talent with ball in hand too. All bar 3 of his 28 first class wickets are him genuinely beating the batsman for pace and movement. I reckon 20 af his wickets are catches behind the stumps.

Hopefully his back comes back bigger and better from injury.

Ideally you'd have him batting 5-6 and bowling 10-15 overs an innings.

Why isn't the test series starting at the Gabba or Wacca?

We don't like T'othersiders these days, let alone foreigners....

Just heard Steve Smith will miss the big bash due to mental health and hub life.

Interesting he could manage it for the IPL.

Money talks I guess.

Prodigious talent, but I fear his mental health issues will always hold him back from showing it consistently at the highest level.

Hope I'm wrong about that.

0-336!!

Is this the current playing condition, or was it just for training?

Would be hellish if there are only 4 fielders, even if they're rotating.

No no mate! I was only taking the piss.

I'm sure it is a proper game and just great batting.

It's a sign of the crazy times we live in that I considered it might actually be plausible.

I'm a SACA member and head over to the Adelaide Oval, via the Coonawarra, every year. Not sure what to do this year as we haven't heard who will be allowed to attend and I am not sure who from Victoria, from my cricket friends, will go over.

Taken a punt and booked airbnb and flights to Sydney for the SCG Test but getting tickets may be the problem.

What are other peoples' plans?
