Tim Lane: "The first time since 1888 Australia has gone into a Test at the SCG without a spinner."
Stuart Broad: "Did you call that game Tim?"

Jacob Bethell is not a test match number 6.
Best batter in the world at the other end, in 100+
43 needed to win.
Just knock it around for singles and don’t charge down trying to smack the leather off it, you absolute tit
There should not be injury substitutes in test cricket. The game is played over 5 days for a reason. (Some) teams bat long in order to wear a bowling unit down. If you could substitute a fresh bowler in because of injury it would just be wrong.
Also, how on earth do you determine what an injury is? MRI scanners at every ground to check a muscle tear?
Pants’ injury is a real shame and the match will be less rich with him not taking part. But, it’s part of the game unfortunately.
