Bring back the WACA, I say! And Alan Border. And Ricky Ponting ... Anyone really, who can play better than Grade cricket.

Alan Border has been diagnosed with Parkinson's so not well. Last time I heard Ricky he was clearly angling to get a coaching role somewhere.

AB was at the ground on Friday. Quite possibly would have still scored more runs than some of the Australian batters, Parkinson's and all.

As for the WACA, WBBL game was played there last night. I guess scheduling meant the men's test side got booted to Optus :rolleyes:

Yes and he struggled a little with the Gavaskar trophy presentation.

There is no reason why they shouldn't be able to score runs. Maybe they haven't played enough test match style cricket these days? The Sheffield Shield as a training ground for the long game has pretty much been replaced by hit and run style which sadly is here to stay.

To be fair, the bowling on day one was excellent. However, I do agree. Lack of Shield cricket with an early start to tests these days certainly doesn't help matters.
