The oldest trick in the book. Its amazing bowlers still fall for it.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

No his first ball and most of his balls afterwards are short, it's just what he does regardless of the pitch.

It's almost like being an effective bowler requires you to adjust to the pitch or something

What I thought was funny was Rusty Crowe not being able to get his Australian citizenship because of some bureaucratic technicality because he was out of the country on a certain date making movies.

It's difficult to do. I'd expect an international cricketer to manage though.

Smith is just scoring singles to let Clarke get all the glory.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
