Will finish with 67 tests, taking 221 test wickets @30.66, 13th on the most test wicket for Australia list.
Serviceable hard worker who wore his heart on his sleeve.
I wasn’t his biggest fan but had respect for the bloke who clearly took pride and understood what the baggy green means.
Wish him all the best in the future, I hope he makes a mint playing the t20 circuit he deserves it.
I watched his press conference from earlier today where he said he isn't looking to play any T20 circuit cricket yet as he still loves and wants to play red ball cricket with Victoria and Essex aswell as playing with the Strikers. You could tell he knows where he's at and knows it's unlikely that he'll play test cricket again with the depth of fast bowlers Australia now has but still loves and wants to play the longer format at first class level. He's become a very good T20 bowler though and like you said deserves to earn some decent coin exclusively playing T20 cricket.
