Well. Mark McGowan says he doesn't know who Cam Green is. I don't know what to make of this. This has done more to dent McGowan's reputation in my eyes than any of the border restrictions.

I would understand if he was asking who's Scott Green, but not who's Cam Green!

That's the local replacement play rule which has existed almost the entire competition history. This season it was altered to limit the pool of players so the replacements would avoid covid issues (ie so Perth wouldn't have players that would get ****ed over from transit).
Lenton was added to the LRP pool as there were no suitable players available (ie a wicketkeeper) as was found earlier when the Scorchers were penalised a point for bringing in a 'keeper but not actually playing him.
Yeah, that's pretty much been the rule since day dot. With the variation this season the Sixers baulked at getting Smith added to the replacement pool because they didn't want him to play for anyone else. The Strikers have been using a LRP for the past 6 matches, you think they wouldn't jump at the chance to 'upgrade'?

They did knock over Healy and Mooney in the first 4 overs, and had Perry inside 15.

Meg Lanning must be the best bat in history with a test average under 35. If the women played tests regularly she'd surely be over 50
Few early wickets with a new ball and then get spanked. It was the wrong decision, the pitch was not a raging green top, pretty much the only time you consider sending a team in to bat in a test.

At least they finally got McGrath out, that’s something they can be pleased about.

If they take the chance at slip a few balls before lunch to get Lanning, could've been a very different game
Yep
If you put the opposition in and they make 300 plus in a day and are not all out, it's a poor choice.
Watched a decent 3 part documentary the other day.
Allen Standford conned his way into billions of dollars and used his fortune to launch the biggest tournament in cricketing history... before being sent to prison for 110 years for masterminding one of the largest Ponzi schemes of all time.

Tell that to Freo that time they loaded up Peel to win the flag.

Look I love cricket, but if I scammed my way into billions of dollars “enormous cricket tournament” wouldn’t be that high on my shopping list.
Stanford story is incredible. He tried the cricket thing to curry favour with the Caribbean governments which probably works if he wasn't so vain to put his name up in lights everywhere and instead is more behind the scenes.
I downloaded it.
