I heard someone on the radio suggest Marsh should captain, and to also bring in the other Marsh as a bowler. I realise it's Perth but what the feck are they thinking?
Paine will be playing.....that finger of his must look like pulp...but he'll play. Still haven't forgiven Dirk Nannes for that....... in an effing exhibition game.
Life is pain....... anyone who says differently is selling something.

I'm thinking about Nick Maddinson today, similar circumstances in that a result in a four day game was already way out of WA's reach.
If Paine can't keep he can't play, I can't see us going with Paine as a batsmen and picking Carey simply because Paine would be a hand injured batsmen on the countries fastest bouncing wicket.

I like Paine, solid cricketer but if his hand is no good, Carey plays.
As for captain, no idea. None of the bats deserve it, they've got enough crap to deal with. Maybe Lyon, as senior player and established senior player, fields close enough to bowlers to speak to them.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I prefer Carey as a batsman as I have said before , has that DeKock ability to win change and win games...as you say Paine is solid cricketer but I dont see opposition teams putting too much time into him as a batsman. I know you should pick keepers on keeping ability first but given our batting lineup is rubbish we need the extra batting depth IMO.
Lyon as captain isnt such a bad idea given the choices, at least he perform most games with the ball and shows some fight with the bat...........I'd be looking at Starc's position too...maybe gets one more game to perform.....

Hasn't Warnie called out Starc before as being "soft"? I trust recent criticism gives him the jag he appears to need. Love him to take a bag in Perth and silence the knockers but he looks to be labouring.

Rightly so, because at times Starc bowls like a wicket keeper.
You'd thing as a former keeper Starc would offer the bloke behind the stumps a little more respect!
On a different issue, I think fans might find Lyon getting a holiday for Perth, 1st Class reports are suggesting the new pitch is rock hard and slippery smooth with little or no spin. The test version of an ODI wicket.

Playing without a spinner is a dangerous ploy IMO, our quicks are good but nothing like the great Windies attacks for example who could play four and get away with it.
Lyon would be one of my first picked, I'd expect Kholi to enjoy Perth and would want the variety Lyon adds.....

Watching footage of the boys training, Starc was holding an old bat with big square notches cut in both edges and the corner of the toe. I'm seen a lot of cricket training drills but this is not a training aid I'm familiar with. Anybody have an idea what that one is about?

Said the same thing to Lady Lucifer after CH7 showed the catch from a different camera angle, that catch was very suss.

Sounds like something my father made, it looks more like a paddle than a cricket bat.
If it is, the idea is to use it in the nets to help you hit the ball in the middle of the bat as there is less middle to work with, when you have a full width bat, it makes it seem very easy.
