LOL at all those suggesting Zampa. Getting sucked in by T20 form.

Have you seen his 1st class record?

55 wickets @ 50.52 in 23 games. Goes at over 4 an over and strikes once every 12 overs.

Lyons shits me that much that I'd be prepared to name you in the Aussie 11. :stern look

If there is an u25 selection more often than not a NSWmen is involved.

Well I have taken 21 wickets @ 5.52 this year, so it wouldn't be a bad choice.

6/11 is 54%.

To compare it to AFL, that would be like if Brad made 12 changes.

Surely the ICC will add a bye week after this chaos.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

At least a couple of guys made the team from a squad that actually wins Shield games (even if they couldn't help themselves and squeezed a Blue in too). Bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them.

Ridiculous, isn't it? Two shields in a row, leading this one and we can't get anyone but Siddle a Baggy Green.

Hope Handscomb takes his chance. Has been banging the door down for long enough.

It seems to be his default font.

Joe Burns last 6 innings:
Shield: 4 & 7
Test: 1 & 0
Shield: 4 & 2

If this bloke is picked for the Adelaide test it is an absolute disgrace.

Is Shaun Marsh still injured ?. If so, you need to give a bloke more than one test irrespective of shield form. The "perform instantly or you're gone" mentality just doesn't work

Not like test quality openers are knocking the door down either

It was but then I realised that it could circumvent the censoring and I didn't want to cop a ban or something so I changed it back. Plus my mate now thinks that I can speak arabic so yeah, it seems to be confusing.

The Australian cricket board, team and media has turned into a farce.

We're sore losers unfortunately.

Maybe, but that's beside the point. He has been called for cheating against the laws of the game by the umpires. So far they have responded with smirking and now aggravation. Straight bat needed.

 

[King Corey]

Selectors were said to have set par for Handscomb at 200. Aka a "Victorian century". Good on him for being up to it.

Bit rough considering the Australians haven't said boo about it and Faf was reported by match referee,former South African keeper,Dave Richardson.

This is what is getting conveniently left out by the press. Australia have said **** all over the incident, it was reported by a match official and he is rightly being investigated. Geez, they're even elevating it by bringing lawyers. Suck it up and cop the ban like any other player would.

The vision above doesn't show the point the journo was shoved into a window either, theres another video where he (security manager) hip and shoulders a journo into a glass window as they're leaving, not sure if its the same guy.

Understandable that media had been instructed to back off, but thats no excuse for assaulting a guy, get between him and move him bodily out of the way sure, but don't shove and shoulder block especially into a breakable window which could cause injury

Full video here:

 

[DarkPhoenix]

In a statement from team manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee, who also stopped Crouch from getting close to Du Plessis, he said Crouch "proceeded to lunge towards Faf with an unknown object"

You mean that giant microphone that was clearly visible in his hand?
