Do we make any changes or stick with the same 11 and see if those who haven't had the best of series can find something?

I recall a graphic on the broadcast of the 2nd test showing that WI batters had the fewest centuries of any team in the last WTC cycle.

I want to see a WI batter step up and get a ton this test. They'll need to win the toss and bat.

That and a Starcy fifer to get the 400 thanks.

With the WTC there aren't really dead rubbers these days. That said, I'd love to see Boland and Inglis get the nod. At the expense of who, and where they slot into the order I have no clue.

Very good question. I think there will be at least one change.

They will stick with same 11 maybe boland if a bowler has a niggle. It’s starcs 100 test so they will all want to play imo

 

[Westend]

Very good question. I think there will be at least one change.

Who ?

No changes for mine. The batsmen need to score runs

I'd be tempted to rest a bowler but there's months before the next game

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Highly doubt it. Batting order won't change so where's the change? If you want to flip Boland in for Haze that's fine, but that will be about it.

Is the next test at home?

It's only the top 3 that would be under pressure. Marnus is the only option on tour and they're not going to go back to him so quickly without him having done anything in-between.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Ashes next test match, so with this in mind I doubt many changes. Big T20/ODI focus the next few months

Pretty much, and I can't see any changes

Ticketing on line. Agent still receives about $14m a summer; ‘service fees’. The 2025 Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal raised a record-breaking $23.8m

I know Starc is crazy good in D/N tests, but would they consider holding him over so that his 100th is on Aussie soil?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Don’t think he’d care if it’s home or away. Be up to him though weakens our batting without Starc. Lyon at 9 is a laugh

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why on earth are we going to SA and not playing tests that’s so annoying

 

[Mick F]

I know Starc is crazy good in D/N tests, but would they consider holding him over so that his 100th is on Aussie soil?

Likelihood = zero. Not relevant. Like resting Jeremy Cameron from the GF so his 100th game for Geelong is at Kardinia Park.

 

[Gough]

Being a pink ball Test against a West Indian batting order made of plywood I think it would take a pretty brave selector to ask Starc to sit this out.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Don’t think he’d care if it’s home or away. Be up to him though weakens our batting without Starc. Lyon at 9 is a laugh

Yeah, I don't think any player minds where they play their 100th test. We might but they don't.

 

[katana]

Likelihood = zero. Not relevant. Like resting Jeremy Cameron from the GF so his 100th game for Geelong is at Kardinia Park.

you think playing a dead rubber in the west indies is more of an occasion than the first test of an ashes series?

i actually think it'd be great to hold him over, would add to the build up and we all know how much starc loves powering in first over. that in a highly anticipated ashes series, his 100th, would be great stuff.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Likelihood = zero. Not relevant. Like resting Jeremy Cameron from the GF so his 100th game for Geelong is at Kardinia Park.

Yeah, if I played my 100th Test, IDC if its on the Sea of Tranquillity.

we're not going to SA

 

[nobbyiscool]

I think Konstas is on a hiding to nothing this game. I'd be dropping him - don't think the selectors will though.
