I thought it was confirmation bias for the umps but he’s definitely crickets Ash Klein
Usually have 3 or 4 . With one as reserve who brings out the new ball . Then they rotate through the jobs during the series ..Why was the Umpires changed after Brisbane? Don't they normally do the whole series?
They're changing again for Sydney, Wilson is on the TV role.

They desperately want to pick Abbott as he’s another one of the NSW boys.Richardson released to play tonight, so he will be injured for Sydney.
Batting avg of 24 and bowling average of 30... about the only reason he's getting picked is because he's from NSWThey desperately want to pick Abbott as he’s another one of the NSW boys.
In form this year, but there's no way I'd pick him given his age/ overall FC average/ other bowling options available (Richardson, O'Neill, Bartlett, Johnson, Paris, Elliot, Edwards, Sutherland, etc).They desperately want to pick Abbott as he’s another one of the NSW boys.
He’s a solid player but at 32 and with that bowling average of 30 I’d be surprised if the Indians didn’t absolutely pump him.Batting avg of 24 and bowling average of 30... about the only reason he's getting picked is because he's from NSW

Much prefer to bring in a Fergus O’Neill or Xavier Bartlett over Sean Abbott.Plus it is missing an opportunity to get another test into Richardson / someone much younger to future proof the side.
I've always thought his batting was more like Starc / Johnson with big swinging... so I don't think that would hold up much at 8 eitherHe’s a solid player but at 32 and with that bowling average of 30 I’d be surprised if the Indians didn’t absolutely pump him.
This part makes him look like a bad sport. If he thought it was the right call and they weren't hard done by it, he wouldn't have said this.How is Rohit a bad sport?

Unfortunately both probably better suited to English conditionsFor sure! Both those guys look great for Aus long term and both can bat pretty much as well as Abbott if not better.
Scenes when they just bring Abbott in for Starc and retain Marsh.I'd do Webster and Jhye in, Marsh and Starc out.
Starc bowled brilliantly but they'd be crazy to play him with a niggle when he already drops off significantly by the 5th test of a series.
