There was a push to knight Border, but obviously never happened. There’s currently talk about trying to give Warnie one.LeeToRainesToRoach said:

7s new Nightwatchman segment is pretty good. Here they have Gideoin Haigh and Peter Lalor talking about Australia's batting and it is utterly damning:

A couple of points. If Australia's batters can't construct an innings what are the coaches doing? And Maxwell was told not to play county cricket because he'd be busy this summer, the implication clearly he was in line to get a test spot. So the administrators have completely screwed Maxwell.
Another point, I'm stunned to learn Mitch Marsh is still Vice Captain despite not being picked and almost certain to be dropped for Sydney.

I hadn't heard that, gee Maxwell's been treated poorly at times. I think Burns has too, to a lesser extent, he was rushed over to South Africa after sandpaper gate, top scored in the 2nd innings and then along with Harris was the best opener in shield games leading up to this Indian test series.
Thought about going to the MCG today. If I'd known still be there at 1:15 I'd have been pleased...
After all the years of following a team that had great success in the summer and then another team through the winter that was shithouse, I don’t mind the role reversal now, bring on the chill of winter I say.

i assume that is based on his average of nearly 60 this season. bowling that is. his batting average is less than 30.

Aussie Cricket is very Cliquey always has been.
Burns and Maxwell are obviously not in it.
Stuey Macgill wasnt either but he had to be picked because he was a damn fine bowler and filled the void adequately for the great SK Warne when he was unavailable.
The younger Marsh was selected as vice captain before the UAE tests and the other vice captain in Hazlewood didn’t even play in those.IanG said:
