Australian International Summer 2025/26

[The Dark Knight]

Do we have any decent spinners in the wings waiting?

Matthew Kuhnemann bowled very well in SL earlier this year - probably outbowling Gaz. He would likely be first cab off the rank.

Todd Murphy is probably worthy of further opportunities and is only about 24 or 25.

I don't know that he'll be needed much in the Windies, but when next Lyon gets a big chance to influence a match - i.e. the Ashes - he'd probably want to impress otherwise there will rightfully be questions as to whether it's time to move on. Will turn 38 before summer.

Rocchiccioli is another spinner potentially in contention.

Nathan Lyon is adamant he’s not retiring “anytime soon” despite handing over the significant duty of leading the team song after victories to Test keeper Alex Carey.

After being handed the song leadership from Mike Hussey, Lyon has led hearty renditions of Under the Southern Cross 67 times across more than a decade.

But the 37-year-old spin star said it was time for someone else to “put their touch on it” and Carey was the man.

I thought Head would be the next team song leader, this obviously shows how high of a regard Lyon holds Carey in.

Rocchiccioli I think has gone past Todd Murphy.

Australia have already named their team for the second test in Grenada, one change- Smith back in for Inglis.

Pat won the toss and Aus batting first

And another one gone 2/47

painful watching so far

100 play and misses

And now Smith decides to hit fine leg some catching practice

3/50

Smith brain fart

3/50

This Smith bloke's a flop.

I blame the kid running around in the stand

[amber_fluid]

Webster and Carey to the rescue AGAIN

I've seen highlights of the caught behind, comments suggesting it bounced. I think the glove snuck under it.

Reminds me of a bloke that was in the Port Magpies cheer squad for many years in the 80’s and 90’s
