Sure, Yovanshi hit him for a six, but after that, Pat got his radar right and was terrific.

But all the to-ing and fro-ing, he came home a few weeks ago to check that he could go back and bowl.

It was basically his second game, his first game since he played in the third test of the Ashes.

And, yeah, he looked good.

He had captained the team.

Super cool pad, as always.

Amazing, really, to see him back bowling.

But, yeah, it'll be interesting to see what lies ahead in this very, very busy schedule of about 20 tests in 14 months.

This is interesting.

This is really interesting because he started poorly.

But as you said, Gerard, and these are good scores in T20 cricket, 79, 27, 34 for the Knight Riders.

So you think, well, he's probably edging back towards holding his test place.

But in faraway England, Bo Webster for Warwick Shear has played just three games, but 53, 48, 91, 52.

Two for four with the ball in his most recent game.

So this little battle for the all-rounders place is tightening up ahead of the Bangladesh series in Northern Australia.

Like, I still reckon they're giving serious thought to Webster.

And I think it must be unsettling for Green in that it's such a contrast, Gerard, isn't it?

Like, Green, the boom boy, the boy wonder, the captain of the future.

Yeah.

The potential superstar against the old elongated sort of battler from Tasmania who no one thought was going to play test cricket and he sort of ends his way in and every time he sneaks in he sort of makes a 50 or takes a wicket.
