I hope Usi goes into cricket admin after he retires. I think he’d make a good Oz / ICC CEO

Wetherald out for 22 and Kalaway it for 51 against a test bowling line up.
Kallaway is only 23. Which is the goods
news.
Oh and Starcy has 2 and the vics are 3/106. That’s also good news.

I was a big fan of Mo Mathews as a young fella. I saved up and bought a signature grey nic (I think). I will always remember that 6 he hit to get his maiden 100. He could bat, bowl and field, and loved his NSW cricket too. From what I’ve heard a nice guy too. He should have done more commentary I reckon.Greg Matthews joined Will Sutherland and Steve Smith for the coin toss ahead of Day 1 at the SCG, in the Sheffield Shield clash between perennial rivals, NSW and Victoria.

And yea he is almost unrecognisable.
I have an interest in Wests cricket here in Sydney and and remember that Greg "Mo" Matthews played for Wests from 1982 to 1998 - always a fan fav.

I have noticed your bias towards Wests Cricket, and I like it.
Mo was good with the fans that’s why, and he was entertaining, even when we were getting pasted. Imagine him and big Merv in the same team, the aftermath drinks would have been fun.
Not like pup and Kato.
I think sometimes we forget that it’s about entertainment, I try not to.
I was at the SCG when Mathews got a test ton
So long ago I can't remember when or who against
Was a very good allrounder

Hazo got a bunch of wickets last week I think the bowlers are going well.
That’s not the first time Bolo has hit Sam’s stump’s early on either. He’ll be dropped by NSW soon.

It’s called the Bolo Hwy.
he will be lucky to play for NSW in the next innings I heard they are trying to medically retire him during the break.
