Except he is not in Australia - couldn’t make it up
Tim Southee is not in Australia currently because he is serving as a bowling consultant for the England team and is expected to return to the UK from New Zealand for the final Test of the Ashes series in Sydney. His availability for the current tour in Australia has been limited due to his commitment to the International League T20 (ILT20) tournament.

Summary: shambolic lack of proper planning started over a year ago and got worse
I’m smelling deflection here big time from Key.
Blame everything on Noosa piss ups and ignore the fact that Bazball was a throughout cricket initiative that he never followed through to County level.
Why did it go wrong in Aus?
How much County/Red Ball cricket are top players playing?
When did central contracts come in? When were we last good?
Video emerged of Ben Duckett Drunk…
Tucked in there
Sigh
Couldn’t make him any worse in this series.
England Leadership don’t deserve them
