It'll be the 2029-30 home summer and it'll still be those names in the squad of 14.

well it'll be interesting to see how we line up at the start of the next home summer v india, seeing these are the last tests until then.

Injury will only result in change to Aust starting XI for both these NZ tests.....however a NZ series win, might result in a fair few of Aust test boys, actually playing shield in the lead up to the India series this summer.....which in all honesty needs to happen for change to occur.

If Aust wins this series, then the 1st test starting XI v India will be a given, regardless of who did what and who didn't do a thing.

Unsurprising line up, glad for Neser. Was hoping the May fast track Bartlett in as he should suit over there, but as others have mentioned it seems unlikely any of the reserves will play.

Surely it would have been better to leave Boland here and select Bartlett to get experience around the squad.Why take 5 fast bowlers any way?

yeah boland/neser only gonna play if there's an injury that comes out of the 1st test.

i think boland has played his last test.

by the time next summer rolls around the likes of morris, johnson jhye , bartlett may well be above him in the pecking order.

Agree with all that, except I think Jhye, Neser and Boland May all be done.

Don’t disagree.

Pretty crazy not taking a back up keeper in the days of concussion subs. I suppose we will keep doing it until we get burned.

we don't traditionally take 2 keepers to NZ.

same deal as if the test was in OZ - if there's a concussion , then one of the current XI would wicket keep for the remainder of the game.

we can then fly a keeper over for the 2nd test as its only a few hour flight.

Who would you have fill in during the match? Now that Warner's gone, there's no one really semi capable of doing it in that squad.

good question - head perhaps - i think he has history as a part time keeper.

 

[Moonwatcher]

WI can beat anyone in the T20Is

 

[Moonwatcher]

Scores were level before the no ball.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Good thing we all but made the most of our start.

 

[Moonwatcher]

I'll see myself out

Starc used to keep wicket

Nobody is ever going to accuse our selectors of having any imagination.
