Well they've both been through the same thing by hanging onto players for too long and the side falling off the perch because the young talent below didn't get an opportunity at the top level.

Problem is Australia haven't started the rebuild yet.

Don't worry - JL is on it.

He is scouring the country looking for "great blokes" who he'd want to marry his daughter. That's a selection criteria you know.

Not sure how many he wants to marry his daughter, but I know a hell of a lot of blokes that want to meet his daughter after the aeroplane video went around 3 years ago.

Rumoured that the VCA have informed Finch and Maxwell they are going down the youth path at SS level and that their future isn’t looking rosy. Would think they both would join the World T20 tour

Talking to Alex Ross, most of these leagues don’t pay as much as people think and some leagues are just not worth it.

If Finch and Maxwell were let go I’d have them in the Redbacks squad. Up grade on blokes like Hunt, Lehman, Cooper and Ferg has retired

Australia Day tomorrow.

Anyone else remember when our National team would play an international game on this day?

Instead we get a BBL triple header.... awesome. :roll:

Yes, I know.

Bad enough we are being told it’s embarrassing to be Australian, now we don’t get an opportunity to enjoy supporting or watching the national team, on our national day..
