Haha yes I was in the very small minority of people that rated him at the time. Used to cop a bit for it too, but the potential was there for all to see and now he's probably the best quick in the world.It's funny watching everyone suck Starc off now...a few of us said he would be the best of our young crop of quicks a few years ago and were laughed out of town!
Herath has retired hurt after getting hit on the box - he was seven runs short of scoring more runs than any Australian batsman in the series.
I'm starting to think Smith has nfi.
What a terrible shot, they keep playing back on these decks.
I agree with everything you have said, but roads are all we will get due to drop in wickets(f**king Flogball) and the fact that CA and channel Nein gotta have dem 5 day tests.It's got a lot to do with the fact that all they play on now are roads, apart from England (and even then the overhead conditions have more effect than the pitch) and some of the subcontinent wickets (that said, India can prepare a soulless road better than anyone if they want to).
Let's get some life and variety back in the Aussie wickets ffs! This is a good pitch, a little slower but that's all...
