Apologies in advance to Alvey - I don't want to get into a fight over imagining that Starc could take a wicket.

Bravo!

Note: Ben Hilf has been back bowing for Tassie in their last couple of
Shield matches, and doing nicely too. Strangely, I haven't seen any mention
of him as an Arses tourist.

Wrong tangello JZ. I'm not bagging Starc as a bad bowler per se, it's the
contrasting treatment to the other Mitchell that's my point. Where's all
the screams of; "He bowls wide rubbish with the new ball!"? And [assume
Jack Nicholson impersonation] "He can't handle the new ball!"? Nothing. We
just keep hearing about MS's killer in*** and how, despite it's near
total abscence *and* his atrocious figures, "he's having surgery now so
that he's fit for the Ashes tour"? I wonder why there's been such a
difference in tolerance...
