If isnt an endorsement for the visiting team to choose instead of the toss i dont know what is. It would certainly even up alot of Test matches. The away teams in general dont get close and would make for much more exciting test series all around the world

Nope. The right-hander scored just 106 runs across seven innings at an average of 17.66 in the Test arena.

He was from NSW and, died aged, 87!

He would’ve played 104 tests for Australia with those numbers these days.

Starc is terribly out of form, trying to knock the stumps out of the ground every ball.

What ever happened to line and length?

Aussie quicks are all well down on pace, compared to what they are capable of. Fire up or be prepared to be in the field for a long time. Would also help if they could keep the seam straight.
