Like facing mal.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Pitch doesn’t look too bad

Sub continent outfields have improved a lot too

All averaging over 12 First Class Runs - Murphy and Lyon are more than handy tailenders.

I can remember Higgs and Hurst, Reid and Alderman, Bollenger and Hilfenhaus you could have Ponting at nine, those three pairs mentioned made the bottom three in the "worst of" category

Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Terrible decision, guy dominates in the middle order in the red ball game

Bit like moving Tony Lockett to full back :shock:
I would've thought we should be looking at the future and settling positions.

Obviously I hope we succeed and Head is just as dominant as an opener but I feel as though it does nothing for Konstas' confidence nor for the team balance moving forward, I guess playing on such radical pitches and including up to 3 spinners throws it all into turmoil anyway.

Hoping they don't play Lyon and Potter, I think the 4-5 part time spin options provides enough variation in that department.
Early days has:
CA: 1
Locky & Lightning: 0
