Missing Cummins and Hazelwood is big and not just because they are world class bowlers. Their absence further exposes the ongoing brittleness of Australia’s batting line-up. Cummins particularly is very handy with the bat. Looks like it’s up to Carey and the bowlers once again

I think the big issue of bowlers of the calibre of Cummins and Hazelwood not being there is that it further exposes how brittle Australia’s batting line-up is.

‘I’m sorry for TAKING PART in the toxic politics’ still sounds quite passive for someone who made actual threats against others and directly attached/harassed people. She didn’t simply take part; she was often at the front screaming the loudest.

And to think Trump sued CBS over an edit to a Kamala Harris interview on 60minutes.

You mention a 2024 interview in which Trump said he would declassify the Epstein files if he won. That Fox & Friends interview was edited to cut out the rambling prevaricating answer Trump made before her said ‘but yeah I would.’ 1/2
