Do you think Australia might consider that? [chuckles] I, I know Nathan Lyon's been great over the years, but I just, I just can't see how you could leave Scott Boland out.

Oh, mate, you're right.

I mean, we talked about that on air actually.

I mean, in the eight-- the Windies of the '80s and the early '90s, you're right, they had four, you know, frontline quicks.

I, I think the Australian team is going down that track at, at the moment, especially when test matches finish early, t- especially when there's a bit of juice in the pitch.

Um, and, and certainly the way he bowls.

You know, he, he's as good as any other guys in the side.

[laughs]

Mm.

Um, I think this summer will be a tough one.

Um, Pat Cummins I think will...

He might hang the boots up, 'cause he might be going, "Hey, if Starc retires and Hazlewood's on the outer and Lyon's gone, who's gonna be bowling all the overs? Probably me"

Mm.

So we weren't, we weren't in a good space, and we had a lot...

And we needed to win every game after that.

And that was a pivotal moment because when Tucker got that 100, bang, it got us, got us through the super stages and in, um, you know, bang, bang.

So that has to be a little concerning.

Yeah, no doubt about it.

It's concerning.

You look at that last game.

Look, we're obviously not playing a full-strength side.

Nathan Ellis is out injured.

Hayes Wood is always looking pretty good against Starkback.

I mean, in your opinion, in terms of batting order, in terms of bowling tactics, how much difference is there in the three phases now?

So that has to be a little concerning.

Yeah, no doubt about it.

It's concerning.

You look at that last game.

Look, we're obviously not playing a full-strength side.

Yes, makes a difference.

Nathan Ellis is out injured.

I mean, in your opinion, in terms of batting order, in terms of bowling tactics, how much difference is there in the three phases now?

What's your take on that game and batting performance, Beach?

Well, I mean, obviously a good start from them.

You know, for Mitch Marsh and Travis Head at the top of the order, none for 130.

They've done that twice now in this one-day series.

Middle all is a problem, no doubt about it.

South Africa have turned around and gone, you know what, I'm going to buy a lot of spin, 30 overs of spin in the middle there, and we're struggling to, you know, come up with ways of doing that.

I mean, I think one of the answers was Josh Inglis was going to do that for them.

He really stood out.

On the basis of the warm-up match for Bangladesh, is there a very good chance Nathan Lyon doesn't get a start, certainly in the first game in Darwin? No chance.

No chance for that.

Rocket Tolley bowled very well.

He's bowled well in the last 12 months.

I think he may come into this test, not this series, but certainly in the next 12 months.

I think he'll be on the tour, Rocket Tolley.

That's the off spinner from WA.

The last at bat before the test starts? I mean, for Phil Simmons, the coach, I mean, what do you say?

The last at bat before the test starts? I mean, for Phil Simmons, the coach, I mean, what do you say?

Horrendous.

I mean, Phil Simmons didn't have a lot to say anyway when he was playing, so I doubt he's going to be saying much about that.

Not ideal, no doubt about it.

Like I said, they're sort of missing Linton Dash as their gun batter.

He's got that calf injury.

He may come back for the second test to Mackay for Bangladesh, but that's not a great start.

Is it just going to be right at the top of the order where the runs are made? What's your shout? I

But bar like the, I don't know, what the night of the last test that you play in the summer, you just

Mm.

Um, not, not ideal, no doubt about it.

You know, like I said, they're sort of missing Linton Das as their gun batter.

He's, he's got that calf injury.

He may come back for the second test in Mackay for Bangladesh, but that's not a great start.

I mean, I, I, I don't know.

I mean, I'm going up there tomorrow.

Has to.
