Changes for the 3rd Test

[Cleavy]

No wickets in 540 balls of first class cricket but Nathan Lyon Remains.

O'Keefe was ruled out on fitness grounds, or you would think that would have been another change.

 

[WEEVZ]

Maddinson is a terrible choice

Agree. Unfortunately Mark Waugh loves him.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Maddinson? Jesus ****ing christ

 

[Scorpus]

thats it im done.
Maddinson is a fukcing joke. there should be a quite a few pissed off batsmen right now. first Mitch Marsh gets a game ahead of them and now some guy that hasnt made a run in 15 months.

Ferguson should feel pretty shit knowing he was dropped after one test for someone just as form-free

 

[Kram]

Maddinson getting selected is a joke.

 

[JG22]

Good to see the back of Mennie

 

[Torz]

Maddinson over Patterson is baffling.

 

[bird_man]

Happy with the squad except for Maddinson. What a strange decision. Averaged just over 30 last year didn't he?

 

[Cleavy]

so Maddinson just saying on ABC Radio that he was informed before the game this morning.

 

[Van_Dyke]

I'm honestly at a loss to how you could possibly justify the Maddison selection

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Maddinson the only questionable choice, fairly happy with the rest of the ins.

Lyon hanging about is understandable - with O'Keefe and Agar both injured, who would you bring in?

 

[Wolfs]

Maddinson?

Que?

dont try. you cant

 

[Marstermind]

Who was the last Australian wicketkeeper to be dropped mid-series? Haddin doesn't count as his initial exclusion from the team was for family reasons and he never got back. Fill-in keepers who made way for the return of an injured incumbent doesn't count either. I can't think of any off the top of my head.

We gotta have someone in the Mitch Marsh role.

This role is doing nothing with the bat and clogging up a middle order spot

 

[Hamingja]

I said before the last test that Handscomb should have been in ahead of Ferguson and Burns. At least they have corrected that but in a dead rubber they would have been better off keeping one of Ferguson/Burns and giving them one last shot at it before Shaun Marsh is back than pick bloody Maddinson.

 

[mediumsizered]

Bring back Inverarity!

Solid batsman & handy left arm bowler, but not the answer at this time.

 

[Wolfs]

Can anyone else remember six changes to a Test team?

When Windies lost all those players in a contract dispute, I guess.

 

[DanT7]

Maddinson the only questionable choice, fairly happy with the rest of the ins.

I'd have given Zampa a go until O'Keefe was fit. Lyon is cooked.

Has to be one of Phillips/Rixon/Zoehrer surely.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Reckon Boof oughta send them all off to The Strath for the stone grill and a bit of team bonding.

 

[DanT7]

Maddinson over Patterson is baffling.

Agree wtf.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Maddinson, yuck. At least Nevill was dropped.

"However, selector Mark Waugh said last week the panel would be making some calls on “instinct” and the left-handed Maddinson has extraordinary potential on his day."

you cant make this shit up
