AaronHOST
But they just won't do those.
AaronHOST
We've had all of the issues with Usman Khawaja getting this prolonged, protracted farewell tour, Aaron Finch getting a prolonged, protracted farewell tour, David Ward getting a prolonged, protracted farewell tour where they're not batting up to the standard they need to be batting to be in the side.
AaronHOST
But because they're the good old boys, we're just going to stretch it out and stretch it out so they can have a home farewell.
AaronHOST
I remember back in the day when Ian Healy begged the selectors to play one more test because that test was at the Gabba and he would retire at the end of the test.
AaronHOST
You're old now.
AaronHOST
We're bringing the next bright thing coming in.
AaronHOST
And Ian Healy is a... way bigger contributor to Australian cricket than someone like Aaron Finch.
AaronHOST
And I like Aaron Finch, but given what Ian Healy's given to the Australian side, that he deserved a farewell tour much more than clinging on to Aaron Finch.
Luke GoldHOST
Skippering the side.
Luke GoldHOST
No Aaron Finch.
Tim StantonHOST
No.
Luke GoldHOST
Which is weird for the Neri, so they didn't pick up Finch.
Tom MorrisHOST
But Australian cricket was at ground zero, and that, that was a difficult time.
Tom MorrisHOST
Aaron Finch was the new one-day captain as well, 'cause there was no Steve Smith.
Bharat SundaresanHOST
Mm.
Tom MorrisHOST
There was a lot happening in Australian cricket, and I, I think there was a lot of embarrassment around the place as well.

Bharat SundaresanHOST

There was a lot happening in Australian cricket, and, uh, I think there was a lot of embarrassment around the place as well.
KevinHOST
And they had to pick new players, and they had to pick in, bring in guys from the outside who hadn't been a part of this.
KevinHOST
So from this, we saw Aaron Finch come into the Australian team, and he ended up opening the batting against the greatest fast bowler of the modern era.
KevinHOST
[chuckles]So when he failed, it, it was unfortunate, but, um, it, it presupposed what happened to Nathan Sweeney, um, you know, six, seven years later.
KevinHOST
The exact same thing happened.
KevinHOST
Aaron Finch just wasn't, uh, capable of keeping him out.
KevinHOST
Uh, but he did well in Pakistan when he came into that team.
KevinHOST
Uh, Usman Khawaja, of course, finally broke his spell over spin bowling over in Pakistan and, and made some runs over there, a terrific century that saved the test match.
KevinHOST
Uh, the other guy from Western Australia, his name escapes me.
Michael ClarkeHOST
Where's...
Michael ClarkeHOST
W- is Mitch gonna open the batting in test cricket? Mate, we tried that with Aaron Finch.
Michael ClarkeHOST
Didn't work.
Erin HollandHOST
Mm.
David WrightPANELIST
Um, so you'd think logically we'd have won one or two since then.
David WrightPANELIST
Um, so it's a real underachievement, and, uh, when, when you look at some of the players that we've had for the last decade or more, like Jason Roy, like, like Sam Curran, uh, and, and Tom Curran, and we had Aaron Finch for several years.
David WrightPANELIST
We had San Kakara.
David WrightPANELIST
You know, we, we had some top quality white ball players.
BrettHOST
And it's not like Wikipedia is the ABC where there's some sort of regulation around brand recognition.
ArchieHOST
Former Australian one-day captain Aaron Finch.
BrettHOST
Yep.
ArchieHOST
Famously, did he like Vegemite? Anything coming to mind there, mate? I'm just throwing stuff at you.
Corbin MiddlemasHOST
He was rookie contracted by Victoria, kept on the list.
Corbin MiddlemasHOST
Plays for Geelong Cricket Club, where, you know, Aaron Finch is from, and Ollie Peake obviously plays down there.
Corbin MiddlemasHOST
As a keeper batsman, he was behind, uh, John Lamire for a, a period of time there.
Corbin MiddlemasHOST
He's done a lot of work with Tom Scollay as part of the cricket mentoring program.
Adam CollinsHOST
[chuckles]
Geoff LemonHOST
Uh, it's two hundred and eighty-eight, which is the score that Aaron Finch made in that bizarre-
Adam CollinsHOST
Oh, yeah
Geoff LemonHOST
... opening partnership against the New Zealanders out at-
