Crowley for Burns, Wood for Broad, Mahmood (BBL) for Vox! I’m mystified about Fox! Change the butler! Garten, Yates and Parkinson, which were not in Australia, could not be used! We’re hitting! Why stick with a team that everyone thought would lose 5-0 before they even threw the ball! — paulinho (@paulinh22836565) December 20, 2021
