Origin is not a like for like comparison, often the two states are choosing candidates who are not in the top 10 coaches going around because they are all contracted to clubs … Cricket Australia should be able to select from the very best options available – on 2nd thought, maybe it is going to be like Origin for CA because the most sought-after coaches will all be signed up by the IPL

the worst thing about the Head omission was if ever the guy was gonna get over his dramas with spinning pitch was coming into that series in career-best form but then he gets left out of first Test and immediately parachuted back in the following match

it definitely didn’t succeed, despite the amount of positive spin coming out of the Australian camp. The selectors have had ample opportunity to move Warner on and bring someone else in to give them a decent run at being Khawaja’s partner but they are more gun shy than proactive

They’re overdue for an unexpected finals hot streak, a la 2002 and 2011

nobody saw it coming, not even the Warriors themselves. Second spot definitely in play

very much a chance of a rapid rise next year – there is some decent talent at the club that can shine once they trim some more deadwood

Carey is super fit and like Brad Haddin will probably keep delivering at a high level until he’s 35-36

Spencer Johnson has got some serious X-factor, would be great for him to get a crack at Test level in the near future if he can consolidate on last season with a strong start to the Shield season

with no salary cap it’d be: Ben Hunt (hooker) … Cameron Munster (everywhere) … Jack Wighton (everywhere) … Cameron Murray (see above) … Latrell Mitchell … Kurt Capewell … Wade Graham (a few years ago) … Tohu Harris … Valentine Holmes (when he had his NFL bulk) … Hudson Young … Reuben Cotter (after being taught how to kick) … Ryan Matterson (see above) … Matt Burton

Jadeja and Ashwin, in consultation with the groundstaff, will be happy to see them try to slog out of the rough of their crumbling raging turners

spot on josh and the trick has worked from McCullum to transform a relatively similar side to the one that got caned 4.9-0 last time, ultimately they need better players and a few younger bowlers coming thru to sustain the kind of success that wins World Test Championships

Luck can’t be managed but reckless shots and decisions can. England have got a good thing going (not the best thing since sliced bread though) if they can play smarter – when they’ve been successful the past two Test matches, Michael Vaughan has called it Bazball with brains

Renshaw is no longer in the squad. McDonald held a presser post game in which he’s pretty much indicated that Warner will get another crack

nice stuff, compared to where they were 18 months ago, the future is a lot less bleak. Hopefully they can Archer back on the field consistently with Wood – that would give them a chance of beating anyone anywhere

respect to anyone who spells and pronounces asterisks correctly. They are world champs no matter what but they can silence the critics (apart from Piers Morgan who cannot get over his creepy infatuation with Ben Stokes) by winning at The Oval
