Australian International Summer (The Ashes) 2021/22

So what happens after the third test when the biomedical scientist taps the selectors on the shoulder and says Cummins needs a rest for the 4th test as his overs bowled stat is hitting the redline.

He'll be given a workload per test to manage him through, ideally.
K's covered, sprint efforts, blah blah blah.

But if he bats for an extended period, and he will cause he's captain and can bat, then he has to bowl less overs?
Not gonna work.
I reckon he's a jet and i hope captaincy doesn't fry him.

With a side full of ego’s like the Aussie’s, how much does the captain actually do?
Smith will make most of the calls anyway and direct traffic on field.

[tigerpie]

I hope he's his own man and its not captaincy by committee.
He did say he'll rely a lot on the experienced players.

It's a captain's curse when you're a bowler, I hope he can master it.

As a captain you don't want to over bowl yourself but you want to take the bull by the horns and lead by example, even at community cricket just hearing the captain say "let's see how you go with one more" inspires you to dig deeper to get an extra over or two, it doesn't happen as a skipper, you just pull up. It's not easy to tell the next bowler that you're just having one more than you're done, as a bowler you tend to think you're closer to a wicket than you really are at times.

I admire your dedication to your argument on this topic, you're sticking to your theme....

As a captain you don't want to over bowl yourself but you want to take the bull by the horns and lead by example, even at community cricket just hearing the captain say "let's see how you go with one more" inspires you to dig deeper to get an extra over or two, it doesn't happen as a skipper, you just pull up. It's not easy to tell the next bowler that you're just having one more than you're done, as a bowler you tend to think you're closer to a wicket than you really are at times.

Agree. I only ever bowled part time when I skippered but did find it hard to get the balance. Generally I would utilise the vice captain to say I should come on or I should go off.

It might be a tad easier in international cricket though when you really only have 4 bowlers plus 1 part timer at most, unlike community cricket where you may have up to 6-7 blokes expecting a bowl. International cricket is kind of pretty locked in as to when bowlers are going to bowl and you have no limit of overs to keep rotating bowlers, eg if you get kept in the field for 100 overs your are just going to have to use all 4-5 of them whether they are bowling well or not.

At that level they'd more than likely have a set plan for each session too that would only alter from circumstantial occurrences.

Yeah absolutely.

The challenge would be setting each field for each batsmen to the absolute metre of turf, being analysed for every field placing,etc.I reckon the bowling would be easier part of international captaining.

Did I hear correctly they're scraped the internal match between Aus and Aus A?

Don't forget the coaches will be having input at the session breaks also.

They will have plans to bowl certain bowlers to certain batters too.

Rain expected all game so they are thinking of changing to indoor training sessions.

Whilst you can argue he’s only sticking up for his former NSW teammate but it’s a fair sledge and a fair comment too especially if you think about Khawajas ton at the Adelaide oval in 2016-17 against the Saffas strum Philander et al at night and the next day….

I’m not a huge fan of Trav but it’s not really his fault he plays for a shit team.

[Lightning McQueen]

Better late than never, I'm backing him to get the monkey off his back with a half century.
