We've got so may players to come back.
Richo, Morris, Agar, Paris, Hardie, Inglis, Marsh boys.

There's always going to be injuries, but I think we're going to find it hard to keep players going forward.

 

[ashley12]

The Marshes are probably just about done for four day games and I think a few others are fairly close to Australian squads, keeping opportunities for the up and coming players.

Its a nice problem to have. Maybe we should ask if our 2nd XI can play out of Lilac Hill and replace the Redbacks

Match winning opening stand on Day 1 perhaps

I don’t often get many calls wrong, and this was no exception

 

[Tugga27]

This stuff with Langer just won't b go away.

I hope not, but I've got a feeling Cummins will get booed when he walks out to bat next week.

Just watched the replay. Moody was moving the ball all about the place. Has an average FC record but I can't remember the last Aussie bowler to move the ball that much.

The real trick to swing bowling is not getting to move the ball heaps, but just enough and at speed. You swing the ball too much and unless you're hitting the stumps 99% of the time it's going to be a play and a miss or a leave.

Chanderpauls kid is a carbon copy of him. Hopefully he ends up as good

Same batting stance?

Ahhh, Mr McGrath and Mr Lillee. Both experts at this.

that's what I pictured. And pointless face paint

Close but he doesn't face towards the batsman as much as his old man.
Still moves as the bowler is in his stride.

Super Smash starts 10 days after BBL, ends roughly the same time.

He’s signed for the Renegades, so maybe he’s skipping the smash.

We probably need middle order batters more, regardless

And start the swing as late as possible.

Thats because he keeps moaning. Don't get me wrong, I think he was shabbily treated but he needs to let this go. His employment opportunities must be diminishing at a rapid rate.

Surely Matt Renshaw deserves another crack at the test side?

I'd love this, at this stage it'd take a Khawaja or Warner injury or retirement.

Couldn't you just pick him instead of Ussie? He's got better Shield form, and he's actually opening.

Ussie was Man of the Series in Pakistan and was decent in Sri Lanka, he'd get first try for now.

888 runs for Uzzie in tests in 2022. At an avg of 98. Would be in the conversation for ICC Test Player of the Year and AB medallist. Warner is avg 22 in tests this year by comparison.

 

[Truckosaurus]

My dream scenario is Warner's leadership ban gets lifted and then he gets dropped.

 

[Dazzler9]

Talk of dropping Uzzie is nonsense. Renshaw's time will probably come post-2023 Ashes.

Home decks and a potentially poor opposition in the Windies

Flat track Warner is set to cash in big time before his average drops again vs the Saffies

Didn't Warner say heay only have 12 months of test cricket left recently or something like that?

Still got high hopes for Henry Hunt but failed in his audition vs the Windies, so spot is Renshaw's for the taking.

Just as long as they don't go back to Harris

Warner has unfinished business in England. Can't see him pulling the pin before the next tour.

...in which he will fall to Stuart Broad about 5 times

Will fall to Broad 13 times. England will be really nice and let him have a couple of extra goes

 

[Marcel Proust]

He had Hatzoglou and Evans. Team coaches itself.

Hatzoglou looks handy in middle east
