Mark Wood bowled 8 overs in the lilac hill game and has been sent for scans on his hamstring after experiencing tightness.
Can't see him playing in the 1st test ,and if he does then he won't see out the game.

Stokes took 6 wickets...............  every single one of them a slog caught on the fence!!!    The B Team, with only 4 specialist batsmen in the line up made 370odd at 5 an over, against the test attack.    this is their only warm up game

having said that - they will probably all be on fire for the 1st test

Kinda like Mark Waugh and more than a few others from that state.
Consistency sets the greats apart from the also rans.
I don't see what the selectors see in Green, Webster is a heart and soul team man. He may not have Greens talent but he's stood up when required thus far.
Agree on Green, he is no number three and very over hyped as an all-rounder given he hardly ever bowls.
Webster is a more reliable cricketer and I'd be picking him over Green for the No 6 spot.

Everyone always says to pick the best performed shield players.  Green has been the best batter by a long way over the past feew years, at shield level.  his bowling is a bonus

All they had to do was make the cross fade obvious so that the edit wasn't concealed, they do that on other reports all the time.

I doubt he will really sue because it opens him to discovery, yet all he cares about is money and the carrot is big in his mind.

And his lawyers, be they personal or DoJ (which is much the same) are incompetent and out of their depth 🙄

You have to wonder why the BBC went down that road.  Taco always provides great material for the news media and satirists without any need for creative editing.

There seems to be a trend developing with WA's all players, it started with the Marsh boys and now I have noticed it with Green, they only ever seem to perform under the threat of losing their spot. Basically at the death Green is bowling and batting again, yet his spot seems assured.

I'd take Webster ahead of that 100% of the time!

Green appears to be motivated by the cash as that irregular output is how they tend to perform, we see a similar lift from some players around contract time.

I find it a little bit hard to fathom why keeley skepper is not deemed good enough to be in our best 26.
Her form hasn't been that great, but ...
I would have considered her, as we know she can perform.

Shes built for finals footy. Loves the tough stuff and doesn't take s backwards step.
Take her over duursma and austin.
