Bangladesh, who have been playing pretty good test cricket whenever they get a chance to play, that is, pulling off a really good win against Pakistan.
But isn't that shocking, Jared?
And the fact that the likes of you and I are pretty clued on to what's happening in world cricket, I will put my hand up and say I didn't even realize that was the case.
When they said, oh, this is just the second test, I said, wait, hang on.
We were all at the other test match that was played in 2020.
That was five months ago.
So, no, it's crazy how cricket has changed.
But, you know, I mean, we say that, but then from this point on, there's just going to be so much test cricket.
So, we'll kind of get back into the flow of it.
But you do wonder, I mean, this part of the year, especially, once the summer is done here in the Southern Hemisphere, from, say, mid-Jan to June,
around June, will we see more years like this going forward?
And, you know, there's also news coming out of England that they're looking at, like, firming up their next 10-year FTP cycle where they might end up playing five tests against South Africa and Pakistan at home, but they're only okay to go and play one-off tests in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, which hasn't gone down well in Sri Lanka, for sure.
So it's changing all the time, Jared.
And I don't know whether, I mean, we have to accept it,
But I guess we just have to pat ourselves on the back and say at least we are in a country like Australia where there will be a lot more test cricket than, say, some of these other countries.
Depends, Jed.
I mean, I was standing outside a hair salon, not the one I go to, but it's pretty common, Jed.
I always credit my mother with it, and
At least back in the day in India, Indian aunties used to want some of my hair, which is interesting.
