Fantastic day out yesterday sitting in the JL stand. Perth Stadium really is a brilliant venue from a spectator perspective.

I liked Lyons story on how the decision was made to have Head opening the batting with Weatherald. No one volunteered so Travis said " How hard can t be. I'll give it a go."

Wot? You mean Steve Smith didn't volunteer like he did last time 'because the team needs me to'. Meaning that Smith wanted to.

He's barely passed 50 in 2 years.......

Nope but he's stayed at the crease and taken the shine off the new ball, been a great partner to whoever was at the other end. Not like the rest of our top or middle order regularly get more than 50!

Time for him to go.
