Tall, powerful and a very useful off-spin bowler, Matt Short has a puncher’s chance of finding a way past Marnus Labuschagne.
to claim the 15th spot in Australia’s World Cup squad.
But in terms of like-for-like replacements for Head, who has been impactful by scoring quickly as well as consistently for the Australian ODI team, 27-year-old Short has both the destructive capacity with the bat and the finger spin to add to the mix.Short has made his name via strong displays for the Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League over the past two years. They coincided with a move to the top of the order after making a request to coach Jason Gillespie for a chance.
In the second half of the Shield last season, Short’s contributions included innings of 70 and 119 against South Australia, and 82 versus Western Australia, as well as a more sedate 104 from 196 balls against NSW. He also cracked 108 from 96 balls against Queensland in a one-day game.Among a group of young players aspiring to take over from the generation of David Warner and, Short is one of the few with genuine capacity to change momentum in a game, whatever the format.

Firstly, to provide immediate relief right now, and secondly, to pair it with long term reform,” he told Sky News Australia. Mr Mookhey used toll caps as an example of short-term reform. “We are introducing a weekly toll cap of $60 for two years from January next year, but we’re pairing it with reform.”

Short term rentals a ‘rising issue’ in AustraliaUNSW City Futures Research Centre Senior Fellow Chris Martin says short-term rentals are a “rising issue” in some markets in Australia. Mr Martin’s comments come after Victoria became the first state in Australia to tax people who operate an Airbnb – the tax will come in the form of a 7.5 per cent levy on short-stay accommodations. “There are some places throughout Australia where you find a very large part of the housing stock has been used and is being used quite intensively for short stay accommodation – and has been for quite some time,” Mr Martin told Sky News Australia. “We’ve been very permissive of short-stay accommodation – using our housing stock for tourism purposes.” “This move by the Victorian government is a step towards trying to make some of those operations that they might be a bit marginal ... pushing the needle back towards long-term rental accommodation.” Mr Martin said the move by the Victorian government is a step towards “pushing the needle back towards long-term rental accommodation”.
