Australia bowled Pakistan out for 203 runs, using 8 bowlers in doing so.

Pakistan had to try to defend that small total, had a bowler retire hurt, and lost with nearly 100 deliveries to spare … but still saw fit to only bowl 4 bowlers.

Find this rather bizarre

The Cricket Victoria article dated November 6 states that Corey Anderson will be captaining the side and will include up to 6 players from the San Francisco Unicorns.

Does anyone know if any of the Unicorn "local" players are currently playing district cricket in Victoria ?

Looking at their local players from the MLC this season they were :-

Anderson , Couch (playing BBL for the Stars) , Drysdale , Gore , Hamilton , Hassan Khan , Krishnamurthi , le Roux , Plunkett , Tajinder Singh

Wonder if they are looking at some of them as possible OS replacement players for the Renegades/Stars.

Seems weird that they nominate to play and then wouldn't use Victorian Squad/development players in the tournament.

Article also mentioned Joe Clarke , Scott Edwards and Wells as more than likely part of the Squad.

And that is half the reason Marcus Harris is not in the Test side. Cannot field.

Another dropped catch, that for the level is just a sitter. Hard to believe the Vics have him in the cordon to begin with.

Had a look at the records of Australia's batters, since the start of the Test Championship in 2023 (to end of yesterday's play)

Khawaja - 14 matches, 967 runs @ 37, 1 hundred
Labuschagne - 14 matches, 725 runs @ 28, 1 hundred
Smith - 14 matches, 983 runs @ 37, 2 hundreds
Head - 14 matches, 823 runs @ 33, 2 hundreds
Marsh - 12 matches, 797 runs @ 47, 2 hundreds
Carey - 14 matches, 671 runs @ 32, 0 hundreds

Green - 8 matches, 436 runs @ 34, 1 hundred

In addition:
New Zealand series (2024) - 1 hundred (Green)
West Indies series (2023/24) - 1 hundred (Head)
Pakistan series (2023/24) - 1 hundred (Warner)
England series (2023) - 4 hundreds (Marsh, Khawaja, Smith, Labuschagne)
India - Test Championship (2023) - 2 hundreds (Head, Smith)

Doesn't make for great reading!
