The Early Bird

I try not to worry when I miss a sunset,

Because at the end of the day, it’s night.

We are exactly where we’re supposed to be.

And a sunset over a river should be an earned sight.

Times arrow flies on,

Right back to the quiver

If you are slow enough

You might get to see the sunrise over the river.

It’s true that often quiet is violence

Yet the first bird to sing woke up in silence.

As the horizon clears,

Dark can no longer hide the tears.

Stepping into the morning light,

I look forward to another restless night.

We need to drop Cam Green

He's all talent no performance. I'm sick of seeing him and other talentless hacks like Travis Head and Steve Smith in the team. Couldn't even score more then 4 runs after his hundred last game, losing us that game, and hasn't batted quick enough this game to get a hundred.

I know he's been one of our best batters in like 5 of the last 6 series and has had to bat everywhere from 3 to 8, but he had a bad ashes, so drop him.

Send him to shield so he can average double what anyone else does, that's clearly his level.

Sure he bowls 140 km/hr while being a top order bat but we already have two blocks who bowl that fast, we don't need him, I'd rather bring in one of the guys that averages 26 at shield level and can't bowl at all.

When he can average 50 with that bat, 20 with the ball and cover the whole slips and gully cordon, maybe then he should get a game if theres a few injuries in the side.

My Australian test cricket development plan

This is just something I drafted up for a bit of fun. Obviously it's impossible to predict form, new players developing, and retirements, but I started doing it for Smith + the cartel and decided to just keep on going for fun (until Cam Green retires, which is obviously unrealistic to know what the team will look like then). What do you guys think?

An entire game without one 5 roll.

Was ridiculous. Check out how much it stuffed me too (I'm Black). I got second.

Other: Need help writing a clue

I'm trying to make a clue with the answer "commit".

After realising that "lightspeed" or "the speed of light" represent c, and "mass" represents m, I'm left with "omit" and the definition for "commit", and a way to indicate to add m and c to omit.

Something like this:
Add the speed of light and mass, omit investment (6)

Gives a maths equation sort of vibe. Feels sort of clunky.

Would you guys say that's acceptable as a clue?
How can it be improved, any ideas?
Maybe the definition? I don't know
