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

People might have forgotten due to the 12 month suspension, so as a general reminder:

Steve Smith is the only Australian batsman who is not a complete moron and is capable of getting through tough periods. And even then, in ODIs he is just pretty good not an all time great.

The Ashes might get rough. Remember that time Smith made 48* out of 85 vs SA. It's gonna be lots of that.

The ball isn't even doing much here! Good lord.

If you can't beat the windies, just go home.

Do you think the ICC are happy with the pitches or are they going to be screaming down the phone at groundsmen for producing some spice?

The ICC get to tell the groundmen what to do, so the spice is intended.

Ball before was a big no ball so he got out on what should have been a free hit.

Not a good look for Gaffaney calling out incorrectly twice followed by missing a huge no ball on the delivery before the Gayle LBW

Julio Cruz
May 19, 2006
the LBW was a terrible decision but the caught behind is understandable since he's got to go by sound for a thin nick behind

They should also just have front foot no ball calls be done solely by the third umpire. I'm not sure what else they'd be doing and it would reduce the cognitive load on the main umpire.

I'm always surprised they specifically expect the umpire to call foot no-balls, mainly because it seems like he's standing in a really lovely angle to determine close calls.
