In session 1 of Day 2 in the Tas v Poos Shield game, Starc & Lyon were
smashed out of the attack by Bird & Paine. Tas eventually folded in time
for the merely star-studded Poo batting to be quickly reduced to 3/0 by the on-fire Bird. A couple more made it a very enjoyable 5/19 at lunch.

Happy Days!

And superstar ath-a-lete Mitchell Starc completes another double failure
with wicketless innings opening spells.

With Lyon bowling 22-?-56-1 he can't have been smashed too badly

He's not having a good year.
Do you think NSW can get all their shield matches to be day/night affairs from here?

and do you know what happened to Abbott?

lol.
Starc's Test average is almost 2 runs pw higher if his d/n Tests are
omitted. 27.6= All, 29.5= Red only. One or two more bad 'Red' Tests will
see him move behind that other hugely over-rated NSW 'ATG', the ex-blonde speedster hisself...

and do you know what happened to Abbott?

Split finger webbing fielding off his own bowling.

Meanwhile... The rain continues in SEQ...

"Brett Lee excelled as an exponent of extreme speed over a decade without achieving the all-conquering success required to earn the tag of a true Test great" is the first sentence of a brief bio of his on Cricinfo. Not unlike MEW, he was a very good
cricketer but few would class either an ATG.
