Holy **** that is perfect from Waughno wonder swaugh never says anything about Warne, once he said this 24 years ago he didnt need to say anything again

Sorry about this, but giggling at a story from Shane Lee on the Betoota pod. Apparently at World Cup in ‘96 Warney tells Lee they’d be ‘the Shane show’. S Waugh pulls Lee aside and says, ‘you know the kid at school who has no mates and befriends the new kid? You’re that new kid’.
hm?Their justification for ditching the Dukes ball is it worse for spin. The stats tell a different story.

Non-Homogeneous pitches that actually wear would be much better, pack of idiots.
That said the ECB has ruined the Dukes ball anyway so I guess we get to tolerate other 70s/80s period where the ball barely swings in England (at least from all the footage I've watched).
Last year on ECB order they reduced the size of the seam on the ball because it was supposedly doing too much in the domestics (which had nothing at all to do with early season, damp, barely cut pitches which you weren't even allowed to use the heavy roller on during a match because of the stupid no toss rule).
Ball was doing plenty in the 2019 Ashes m8You **** s could have done all this in 2018 before the Indian tour and let us get some wins. But no,you had to wait til ****ing Steve Smith came to decide "hey lets try to use the ball that does not help us do the one thing our bowlers are good at"...
C00ps captain-coach.South Australia coach update: still haven't got one
Well, it isn't the worst idea I have ever heardC00ps captain-coach.
I think Australia would be better served with a Duke ball than India tbh. I mean, Smith and Labushagne i the Ashes with it moving sideways compared with Kohli who nicks off to outies for a living in similar conditions. No guarantee it would do anything like as much in Australia as in England anyway.You **** s could have done all this in 2018 before the Indian tour and let us get some wins.
