Slow ticket sales have CA fearing the Aus v Windies match could be a record low Test crowd for Perth.

Bomber, you’re fa**r*king kidding. West Indies ain’t even a nation but a loose coming-together of islands. They’re all heading of to Yank basketball, EPL & 2nd div Championship or IPL rather than playing for the “West Indies” non-nation like ye olde days. This so-called “Test” Series will be a disaster for Crickette Straya and TV ratings.

Or when they pretend that the UK has entered the competition. We also laugh at it too.

How come Smith has played so few innings, did he drop out of the game for a while for some reason ?

Early in test career , Smith was dropped after the 2010-11 season and didnt play test cricket for another 2 years....
Guess a lot players get dropped during their test careers

Forgot he was dropped, thought you were going to say he usually only needed one innings

Only two Australian batsmen have gone through their test career never being dropped ..
Greg Chappell & Mark Taylor

N5 1BH you will need to better than that.... Are you a 1st year GIAE apprentice

I don’t think Greg or Mark served a ban either so fair play to them. Well to Mark anyway

If you dont get dropped though your entire test career fair chance you wouldn't be banned/suspended during it ...
Can see why you're only a GIAE first year apprentice...

If that were true I would be splitting hairs over whether being dropped or banned were the same thing. I wouldn’t do that coz they’re clearly not

You went on the line of him being dropped when I bought it up .... but yes Smith did miss a portion of his test career and good to see Cricket Boards being harsh on it ..... Just dont forget when you have dirt in your pockets...

Great Britain is 3/4 of a country. Imagine how much we would beat you by if we sent the entire country.

Would you put sugar in your pocket though, we know Bancroft would.

The mint one always makes me laugh.

No proof this happened.

No law against chewing on mints.

If there was, why do aussies never mention ponting and chewing gum.

That's about as easy of a test series as you'll see. Well, since England last year.
