Commenting on the decision Australian team coach Darren Lehmann said, “Josh has played all six Tests this summer and has had a high workload.

Fournette’s brashness last preseason — he said he was unimpressed by the speed of the NFL game — was tame compared to that of Rosen, who let loose with a verbal barrage after he fell to the No. 10 overall pick, where the Cardinals traded up to draft him. “I was pretty pissed off as I saw teams passing on me,” Rosen said. “There were nine mistakes ahead of me....

Drafted by the Atlanta Hawks as the 17th overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, Josh Smith made a mark in the league in his rookie season itself!
