Can either of them bat?

I can absolutely see them going with Abbott ahead of Boland to add depth to the batting.

How about Webster at 8? He's just as good a bowler as Doggett/Abbott/Boland statistically, and helps our batting no end.

 

[gokangas]

Can we get Sri Lanka here earlier? Might be a slim chance............

 

[hellas_johnny]

cant believe they brought abbott into the squad ahead of oneil

Konstas & Renshaw look good together- likely longterm opening pair?

Opening partnership of 12. That's a very early call!

 

[remfan101]

Opening partnership of 12. That's a very early call!

Based on L/R combination and complementary styles, plus they seem to be in a slightly different tier to to other options talent-wise based on what I've seen so far. Renshaw is flakey at best atm though.

RIP The gentle giant

Former Australia opener Ian Redpath dies aged 83

The popular former Australian opener was known as a courageous, obdurate player who was held in incredibly high regard by both teammates and opponents

Who is this Konstas? Might have a real find here and surely a walk up replacement for labushagne

He’s statistically the 2nd best shield bat over the last few years.

 

[Junk yard]

Young Beardman is the future of the Australian attack. Was bowling 140+ at 18yrs, still very raw and growing but has great control, mongrel and the potential to break 150kph.

If Marnus fails in Adelaide it would be a fair chance.

Push McSweeney back to 3.

This current England side certainly do things different. If its not bazballing its riding e scooters to the mornings play in NZ during the test series

 

[big_e]

I almost ran over AJ Tye last week, he was riding his e-scooter along the road between Trinity College and the WACA one-handed, and dragging his cricket bag behind him with the other hand.

How long before a cricketer injuries himself on the way to a cricket game and then they will all be banned. Its amazing how many pommy cricketers have been injured warming up playing soccer on the morning of a match. Glenn McGrath did famously injure his ankle in 2005 on the morning of a test match but at least that was standing on a cricket ball I suppose

 

[KiwiRoo]

Chucker. Its a throw every day of the week. Thats not the reason we are losing like this

just don't see it myself. His arm comes straight over and then flexes with the arm braced, as did Brett Lee, Glen McGrath and pretty much every quick bowler since cricket started.

This will certainly make watching the game on TV a lot more enjoyable.

 

[Nate7]

Boland is in the test XI

 

[Samsquanch]

Boland is in the test XI

This will certainly make watching the game on TV a lot more enjoyable.

 

[Groucho]

Boland is in the test XI

A Victorian! How’d they let that happen

 

[Junk yard]

He's about to turn 36 and has taken 4 wickets for the summer. Unfortunately he was stuck behind a few when he was bowling really well.

 

[Samsquanch]

He'll probably be the scapegoat if we lose the series. Then the NSW boys will pick up the pieces in a T20 series against Canada or Botswana or something like that.

 

[Samsquanch]

Do you think that if Australia win the toss and bat, that should give our bowlers a great opportunity to attack the Indian top order batters during the third session tonight when the conditions should work on our favour.
