Australia A Tour of India (July and August 2015)

[Hellgood]

A little surprised that this seemingly went unnoticed on here:

Maddinson been sent home with a finger injury, apparently.

Is Burns part of the tour or not (have heard conflicting reports)? If so, you'd think he would come in.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Second "Test" begins today.

India 0/18 after 10.

Burns, Ferguson, and Agar come in for Maddinson, Head, and Abbott.

Is the fact that Maxwell pulled out of the A tour likely to get him offside with the selectors and other CA head honchos?

I think he was hoping to play first class matches for Yorkshire as well as T20. Not that he's done well there. It's probably more his behaving stupidly that will get him offside.

 

[ioppolo]

Naman Ojha is 3 off 63 balls.

 

[Zach Package]

ohja 10 off 84 and then stumped off Agar

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Great to see that Agar nabbed Kohli.

No.

His form for Yorkshire won't get him anywhere near the test team though

 

[Cleavy]

only 1 bye in 60 overs, 1 catch and a 1 stumping = tidy work from Wade

 

[Hellgood]

Agar .

No.

Yeah, it's a pretty bad sign when you're being dropped as the big name overseas signing.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Agar .

Considering how the ball moves around, the way he bats would make him a sitting duck. He'd give his wicket again and again.

 

[Zach Package]

And to be fair, you're probably signing Maxy for his short form game, anything above decent he manages in the four day stuff you probably consider a bit of a bonus

They did sign Finch though.

The funniest thing is that Kane Williamson is their reserve overseas player.

 

[Hellgood]

Happy to be corrected but I beleive that's because he was only going to be available very late in the year.

What's he doing now?

I mean you're obviously right because there is no way Yorkshire would have opted for Finch ahead of him otherwise

 

[MisterMarcus]

0/102, Bancroft doing well again with 58*.

 

[The_Reaper]

Bancroft could well be in the test team shortly

Would be the ideal like-for-like replacement for Rogers as the cautious accumulator style opener. A good start to the next shield season and who knows?

 

[eth-dog]

This batting order pretty much confirms that they don't think Burns is an opener. Bancroft will replace Rogers in Bangladesh IMO.

Eh. If you can bat at 3 you can open

 

[MisterMarcus]

Uzzie out for a rather tortuous 33.....

 

[Bucking Beads]

I was actually surprised Khawaja is opening. It must be a CA directive.

 

[eth-dog]

Yet they choose to open Khawaja ahead of him, who's rarely opened in FC cricket.

Khawaja opened the last two matches he played

Edit: Actually on second thoughts he didn't.

I don't think he's unsuited to be an opener though
