Yeah, right.

Someone like Chris Lynn who's synonymous with the Big Bash, you know?

And actually leave it.

And also the overseas players who would be there for the group phase or near to the end of the group phase and suddenly going.

And so...

Actually, the end of the big bash was all domestic players, some of whom, you know, not even all of the best ones of that.

Exactly.

If his wife's grandfather was Italian, as we discovered with JJ Smuts, that's how he qualified.

Ados, thank you so much for joining us.

It's been scintillating hearing your views on Australian cricket.

And for our ABC listeners at home, look, it's not all gloom and doom.

With a bit of luck, you know,

Australia will come back fighting.

A new generation will come through.

Thank you to Hedos.

So, in the fixture that we wondered whether it would happen at all between India and Pakistan, last-minute diplomatics meant that we did get a game, but it's same old, same old this time of the hour.

Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Pakistan being thrashed by India, India winning by 61 runs, and at no point in today's game did they ever really look

like coming close to India Pakistan from the very outset brilliant batting from Ishan Kishan the standout player with the bat today and then with the ball well I don't know whether it was the bowling itself that was so particularly skilled or some of the top order batting that was so inept

World Cup winner Alex Hartley is alongside me, as is Atif Nawaz.

We are going to chew the cud and try and work out what on earth has happened there.
