I can confirm through my sources Ricky Ponting has had a hair transplant.

A family friend who has had work done told me Punter actually got it done it at yeah yeah Parramatta in the mid 2000s.

He told me the manager there at Parramatta actually has a photo with Ricky after the procedure got completed still sitting in his office like 2-3 years ago when we discussed if punter got work done on his hair a few years ago.

I assume he didn't want to be associated with it like SK Warne. As he hasn't seemed keen for people to know he has got work done when it's been quite obivous.

Look at his hair in the 2005 ashes series and compare it to now.

Ok who are going to be our Openers for the first test in Perth?

I hope it isn't Smith!
Khawaja and Travis Head

Smith will go back to 4 I suspect.

There is no one else atm capable at domestic level.

Going back to a failed Marcus Harris is a backward move similar to Cameron Bancroft.

Both have failed multiple times at test level.

And shouldn't wear the baggy green again.

The batting depth at shield level is a real concern.

Harris got 100+ today rush him back in!!!!
Same with Handscomb...

NSW teen got 145 in his 6th first class game.

Bancroft went for a Golden duck today.

Harris had an opportunity last year but it was given to Smudger, I'm pretty sure that our selectors will continue to overlook him because he's had plenty of chances and failed at international level.

His favorite shot is that slash he plays outside off and at international level he edges that to slips far too often.

Kostas needs a year or two in shield cricket, he only had 6 digs and one ton.

The bloke directly above him on the list was very good. My grandfather played a little bit of cricket with him in the inner west in 1920s. Got TB (Archie, not my grandfather), died very young.

The other blokes ended out being complete hacks.
Archie was gone by 23, as young blokes he was more highly rated than the Don.

He was sickly throughout most of his career. A massive what could of been.

He's in good company, Jamie Cox is probably the best first class player never to represent Australia, he had an amazing first class career but some of our best batsmen blocked his path to the international level during one of our best ever eras.
