So the six white ball games in Bangladesh start today.

It's the first time in 15 years that Australia has been there for ODIs.

Mitch Marsh is injured.

Travis Head has been granted leave.

Something that's a watch, I suppose, is that Marnus hasn't scored 100 for Australia in three years.

I could mention that of course, cause he's playing this, he's playing in the ODI side.

He'll be, you know, the guys, the selectors obviously want him to be a pivotal part of the ODI World Cup squad next year.

uh manchester june 2023 and test with his last hundred in uh in the test arena in south africa september 2023 in odis those were his last 200s for australia um just short of three years ago um you know we spoke about this last week just very briefly it's it's difficult because you know as with cam green these guys go back and i mean man has peeled off several hundreds um in australia before the

Ashes last year, Cam Green goes back to Shield Cricket and does that.

Stanley, these guys are the best players.

But haven't scored 100 for three years and your job is to be one of the best batters in Australia.

He's been playing some difficult surfaces, no doubt.

They want him in the side, obviously.

He knits the generations together.

There's so many reasons why you want it to happen, but at some point you have to score 100 if that's your job.

I think with Marnus specifically, he had a lot of rope leading into the World Test Championship final.

He opened the batting.

They lost that game and he was dropped.

You know, like...

You know, winning means that the scrutiny when Australian players have beers is scrutinized far less.
