[Hangover Noir]

O

Our next shield game ends 12 days before first ODI and the One days cup final is is 8 days before.

I’m hoping Bison/Richo/Agar/Stoin/Inglis are all available for that. Bit risk with a few coming back from injury but gee whiz thats an elite line up

Last ODI in India is the day before the Shield Final. Be interesting which (if any) players they release to play in it.

Think we would still go ok without, but much better to have Richo, inglis, MM, Green, Stoinis and Agar available. At a minimum would want Richo and Inglis released. The rest would be nice to have, but could understand if they stayed in India.

Ok looks like Bangers is keeping. What happened to Inglis?

Illness was what Bancroft said in after match interview.

One dayer on Sunday. They were never flying home early. (Maybe Whiteman could’ve). But 500 did seem excessive.

If you're playing the same team back to back demoralising them can greatly help for the next match.

 

[Ochre]

This match is 3 overs old and Healy has already played the best 3 shots I've seen an Aussie play v India in the past month.

That runout!

 

[Dazzler9]

That runout!

Most unlucky

 

[Tugga27]

Well that didn't take long.
Well done to the boys.

Now the Marsh cup game on Sunday and get back home.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

If that's the Shield side, Stoinis is gone and Morris back, probably for Stobbo.

Maybe Turner or Short for Stoinis with Swampy opening.

Last match with the second XI Turner scored 170 and was dismissed on a laughably bad lbw decision



He also took 4/41 in 15 overs with the ball in South Australia’s first innings. On pitches where seamers will dominate (like the WACA) I’d actually prefer them to play Turner over Rocchiccioli, who is mostly just used to clean up the tail when they’re slogging. Turner would make the batting lineup really deep, and he’s posted some really big scores in the second XI and in grade cricket this summer.

Our depth is ridiculous

So 1 more outright win and we secure the final?

Harry Brook eh

Fair player!

This Bazball is quite a thing. They were 3-21, but that's merely a flesh wound. The Ashes will be a cracking series.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Always sad when the Poms unearth a very good player. It’s a lot more fun when they are bad.

I'm increasingly concerned it'll be a hiding.

I reckon they basically treat tests as 50 over one dayers. If the innings goes for longer then great. But otherwise, why treat them differently?

 

[darksquare]

So long as you keep saying that, we're safe.

If Bazball gets going I don't see our bowlers handling the pressure at all. Especially over there.

NZ’s bowlers are a nowhere near as threatening once the ball stops moving though, especially with Boult not playing. Wagner’s short barrage has been completely dismantled and that’s ruined their plan B.

Who else have they beaten? Pakistan sans Shaheen Shah Afridi on roads.

I think it’s pretty irrepressible stuff but can’t see Australia getting smashed like NZ

Cumquat staying home, Smith to skipper 3rd test.

Cumquat staying home, Smith to skipper 3rd test.

His Mum is in palliative care, couldn't imagine he'd be back for the fourth test either then....

Thoughts go out to him & his family.

 

[DanWCE]

Poor bloke. Unfortunately I know what he's going through and at his age he shouldn't have to. His minds probably been elsewhere for some time.

 

[Dazzler9]

Man, that sux. Poor guy.

Commiserations also to Cam Bancroft, who appears likely to be flown out to join the Aussie squad in India. Life is just unfair sometimes.

Are you basing this on Warner going home or have you read something?
