    1st Test Sri Lanka v Australia Jan 29-Feb 2 1500hrs @ Galle International Stadium

    He’ll spend the entire match in the slips

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Wonderful country, hope you had a good experience growing up if you were there for a while. Yeah I agree, obviously some stand out grounds around the world (for me Galle is one of them) but still important to have the idiosyncrasies and subtleties of different venues as well and bring cricket to...

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    The weather was more of a reference to Kandy, which is north and inland. All the coastal areas from Negombo all the way to Hambantota would have similar climate patterns. Have you been to Colombo and Galle? Would be far easier to secure a hotel in Galle than Colombo. Fair call about wanting it...

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Prepare one ground, weather more reliable in that area of the island and would probably suit AUS to be based in same area for a longer duration then there’s hotel security, logistics etc

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Someone tell me six batsmen that are batting better than Cooper Connolly. Yes I’m aware the only form we have to go off is that of the test XI incumbents and the Big Bash. This is the tour to play him. His spin is a handy point of difference and combined with Webster would allow us to play an...

    Not anymore! 5 teams thst don’t deserve to play BBL finals but as it stands we've been the least shit of those 5 teams.

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    I agree, it’s just an opportunity if Carey wants/needs a rest or is carrying a slight niggle. If it was a live series it wouldn’t even be a consideration.

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    I’m all for selection integrity but we would be absolutely crazy not to use this tour to have a look at both Konstas and Connolly in both test matches. Other than Head and Smith none of the senior batsmen did anything to guarantee their spots. Unlikely to get two test matches against mid table...

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Haven’t been paying much attention to him. Had a couple of innings that went for plenty and bowls too many long hops but has taken a lot of wickets. Haven’t seen any of his shield figures this year which is what really matters, I’d stick with the other two options you mentioned personally.

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Yeah horrible timing for him, really unfortunate. Would love to see Corey get the gig but yep they probably replace the left arm orthodox with the right arm leg spin I’d have thought.

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Non spinning hand which is good but would be surprised if he’s on the plane to SL.

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Horrible for Kuhnemann but the odds of Connolly getting a game just increased.

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Last time I went I took the missus and went to India and Sri Lanka. She felt far more comfortable in SL. Minimal ogling and hassling and when you politely say no to the relatively few hawkers there are they leave you alone. If you do end up heading there feel free to hit me and/or sr36 up, I’m...

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    The more accessible options (Bali, Singapore, Thailand, etc) makes it difficult to justify going there for many, particularly families. It’s not really somewhere you “pass through” either. The old marketing on Channel 9, even led by Tony who loved the place was just a few plane shots. SL tourism...

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Absolutely one of my favourite countries. People are friendly, dirt cheap safari, landscape and food are incredible. One of the best sporting experiences I’ve had.

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Yep, Galle is no different and is one of the greatest grounds in the world to watch cricket at. Surrounded by the Old Fort covered with grass it’s magnificent.
  17. eaglevision

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Yes I agree I’ve covered that earlier if they have no intention of playing him.
  18. eaglevision

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Development squad? We’ll have one possibly two blokes under 30 in the XI. I didn’t suggest we sent a development squad but Connolly vs Maxwell? No brainer.
  19. eaglevision

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    He’s not in the best 6 batsmen in the country I agree, but as I’ve mentioned earlier if there was ever a time to have a look at the next generation at test level, this tour is it. Don’t want him to go if he’ll just be carrying drinks though, would be better off in shield. Hopefully this means no...

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Connolly is on the plane according to Morris.
  21. eaglevision

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    We do, but they will count towards the next WTC so we should be sending our best XI out there. Uzzie the only potential retirement after WTC but I doubt it.
  22. eaglevision

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Why we’d draft in anyone over the age of 30 for this tour is beyond me. Two tests to have a look at who is going to regenerate the side after the WTC final and Ashes.

    Bugger I thought he’d done enough for a recall

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    Absurd.

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    To be a fly on the wall when that is suggested to Smith.
  26. eaglevision

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    There is but I’m comfortable if he was the only quick playing Boland would bowl enough overs in SL. I wouldn’t want him over there just to carry the drinks, better off playing Shield.
  27. eaglevision

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    If there’s no intention of playing him then he should stay here and play shield. If there’s a realistic chance he plays then of course he’s on the plane.
  28. eaglevision

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    If Boland needs to bowl, it should be at international level. Yes if Cider was playing that would change everything.
  29. eaglevision

    Test (Early) Sri Lanka tour squad predictions

    I agree they won’t suit Boland’s bowling. Prioritising his overs if he needs them before the final. Otherwise Richo would be perfect if Starc needs a rest.

    Test Proposal to split test cricket into two divisions

    It would be every 3 years (with same home team) and the big 3 100% have to be prepared to get relegated. It undermines the entire proposed system otherwise.
