Matthew Kuhnemann

Right.

And then you have Starc, Cummins, Green, Nathan Lyon, Matthew Kuhnemann, and that solves a lot of issues for Australia because going into one of, some of those matches without Mitch Starc feels a bit...

You want him in the team, and you want Pat Cummins to be leading this team.

So I think they might be finding a few solutions that, or problems that they haven't even thought about yet.

Of course, Cooper Connolly is in the squad.

We're hearing that, uh, Kubahar is gonna spin, so Cooper Connolly left-arm spin could be in there unless they play Kuhneman.

I qu- uh, that shortens the batting.

Um, anyway, I think Nick Maddinson's going to play.

It doesn't seem likely, but the outside chance there.

And even Matt Kuhnemann in dispatches has been discussed probably more as a, a-as a reference point to South Africa going in with two specialist spinners.

You would assume there's no scenario that Beau Webster drops out.

No.

Nathan Lyon, he had a steady bowl on both of his training days.

And Matthew Kuhnemann is, of course, here as well, but he's l- looking likely to miss out if Australia do go for one spinner.

But it's looking like South Africa are definitely going to go for two.

They put up Simon Harmer as their player to do media on Wednesday, and, uh, we know that he's gonna play second fiddle to Keshav Maharaj, if he is indeed named.

Um, and I said Nathan Lyon, a bit like Josh Hazlewood, his body isn't re- as resilient as it's been the last couple of years.

So if we get an injury there, you know, is it Kuhnemann? Is it, um, Todd Murphy or Cory Rockell? Yeah, and then we get back to the batting.

What's that batting lineup gonna be in 18 months' time? I, I'm intrigued by that.

There's gonna be plenty of gaps, and in between that, we've got that, that World Cup, the 50 Over World Cup.

Mm.

They'll probably go with Lyon and Webster to bowl some, some offspin, but Matthew Kuhnemann is around if required.

He is, yeah.

Yeah.
