Hazelwood out for the whole of the Ashes.

Happy with the current lineup for the Gabba then Spidey ?

 

[Hojuman]

AI being used for good.

And not evil.

 

[tazaa]

Yes unless Kwajahaia is around , then you can't

Is it because his teammates respect him enough to allow him to be apart of the team photos and he reciprocates by excusing himself from the celebrations so they can do so?

Is that what you mean?

 

[koshari]

well he got 3 days to rebook that dinner date

Pink ball test in Brisbane. Not sure Lyon is needed, Cummins for him in if fit. Head's put Uzzie's spot in danger, maybe Webster into the middle order or even Renshaw.

I was reading an article that said Webster straight swap for Lyon.

 

[KiwiRoo]

will be very interesting to see if Head stays opening

Aggressive left handed openers are a pain in the ar$e for opposition bowlers..

 

[SpiderBurton22]

I like this.

Huge clue on Cummins comeback in Aussie Ashes boost... plus fresh hint as fellow star sighted

Khawaja (can swap with Head depending on state of game)
Weatherald
Marnus
Smith
Head
Green
Carey
Webster
Cummins
Starc
Boland

I genuinely don't think England will face enough balls in this test to warrant playing Lyon or Doggett. If they face 40-50 overs (way more than either innings in Perth) that's 10-12 from each of the main quicks and 5-7 each from Green and Webster.

 

[franjon]

Copped a gob full of headballs did they?

Not during the game I hope. Plenty of time for that afterwards.

Head and Webster both fine as a part time spin option too

England press, never change. How are they going to be after the second test!

It is quite funny. All the public school cricket stans at work are giving my office a wide berth for some reason

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Kellaway looks a decent prospect.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Poms never learn.

 

[Roostorm]

Too much golf maybe

Lol, funny but so dog. Love the ground, looks like it would have a wonderful afternoon tea selection.

Was funny as ****, cos he was a Pom.

The ground is at Port Fairy, one of the best tracks you'll find in regional Victoria. It has a double story clubroom with the synthetic ground on the other side of it.

As for the keeper I played against him for over 15 years. Front running sledger, would only yap when they were on top. I used to get him out for fun. He was my Darryl Cullinan.

I know nothing about gobby-keepers. Nothing. lol. I did get red-carded once in Eng, and sent off for being too talkative. I just assumed it was because they were soft, nothing more!

...Very England that ground! Gave me some PTSD.

Training note from The Age. Use must have had an early tee off booked.

Australia's acting captain Steve Smith is seriously considering the use of NFL-style eye black to reduce glare and see the pink ball better during the forthcoming Ashes Test at the Gabba.
Usman Khawaja, meanwhile, joined teammates in convening for their first session in Brisbane, but did not come out to bat and left the session early.
