without Unmukt? 😁
Won't get him until 2024 either.

Have a ex Paki , ex SL , couple of other Indians before him as well + possibly Corey Anderson & Plunkett.

If they actually get their admin right they could have a seriously talented team in the next 2-3 years.

Ali Khan back playing for them after a 18-24 months absence helps as well.

Nothing against Boland but how does this make any sense? Cummins obviously comes in but why drop both Richardson and Neser. Don’t get it.
Richardson proved a handful in his first Test in nearly three years but Australia elected to put him on ice as he manages a minor leg injury.

“He was pretty sore,” Cummins told reporters on Saturday. “We were umming and ahhing – he had a bowl yesterday but we thought seven days off (before the fourth Test in Sydney) will give him enough rest.

“He’s got a small leg injury which is nothing major but we thought rather than risking a long-term injury, we’d give him a week off.”

On Boland :-

The 32-year-old has an enviable record at the venue which, until recent seasons, had a reputation for being a bowlers’ graveyard.

His record of 91 wickets at 25.71 in 26 first-class games at the ‘G is impressive given most of his matches there have been on docile, unresponsive surfaces.

Boland is also regarded as having an advantage against left-handers due to his ability to seam the ball away from southpaws.
