Josh Hazlewood

He does, uh, but I think unfortunately for Nathan Ellis, uh, is the one question that always surrounds him, right? And he gets asked this all the time.

I might have asked him myself, you would have asked him at that point, uh, in the last three, four years, where he's been so consistent in T20 cricket, but he's getting better and better at 50-over cricket, where the question is: Do you see yourself fitting in when Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins come in? Because, you know, next year, the 50-over World Cup, touch wood, if everybody's fit, all three of them will be there.

So now does Nathan Ellis play as the fourth seamer, or does that role go to Cameron Green as the all-rounder? And-

What do you think?

And then the way that the, the bowlers have been managed in this series and the s- subsequent T20s as well is really important.

Mm.

Josh Hazlewood's got a run.

Um, there's been a couple of injuries as well.

yeah, they distributed the wickets among themselves.

Josh Hazlewood came back, more or less the same attack.

Billy Stanlake came back.

So, they changed both the premier bowlers in that 11th.

yeah

Are you happy with the fast bowling? Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Mitch Stark.

I wonder, obviously there'll be another fast bowler coming into the mix as well.

Yeah, so the five seamers that are on the tour, the three that you mentioned, Scott Boland and Michael Neeser.

'Cause he was talking about like, Baaber Azam wasn't a bad player.

He's, has a test century in Australia against Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyons, Josh Hazlewood.

So what's happened now?

Mm-hmm.

That feels very pointed.

Josh said that.

Yeah.

[laughs]

You know how it's played in shield cricket compared to grade cricket's a little bit different and then you go up one level to test cricket and the game's just slight- slightly different and I always feel like you just need just a little bit of insight of that next level from people that have done it or, um, you know, it just takes maybe a little bit of a different way of, of approaching it and, um, yeah.

He, he was great to me.

And same with, you know, when I first started Joshy and Starky had played like maybe 20 tests.

Like I feel like they played a couple of seasons ahead of me, so they were awesome to me as well.

But I would've loved to have just seen him go and play some free white ball cricket.

Uh, another one from Patrick on Spotify, message on Spotify, "Thoughts on Josh name for the ODIs into the test." Now he's, unlike Mitch and Pat, so Mitch Starc, Pat Cummins, South Africa only, Josh Hazlewood's in the squad for the Zimbabwe- ...

three-game series and the South Africa three-game series before the test.

So this is where this question's coming from.
