[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

This is a GWS size crowd

Yep expanding the competition to 15 games or whatever it is has diluted the impact

8 games, 4 home and 4 away was perfect

Did it really used to be only 8 games?

Yep

Ever team once and double up with your rivalry team eg Melb vs Melb

 

[Redline]

No Head, No Carey

Let's hope George Garton is a superstar

I heard Renshaw is also unavailable for the first few games.

That leaves Weatherall, Short, Gibson and Wells as the only specialist batsman. Obviously we have Neilsen and some all rounders but we take on an extra batsman into our squad.

The West Australian government has launched an astonishing bid to swap its Test dates with Adelaide after being told the fifth Test in Perth has been scrapped.
The West Australian has reported Cricket Australia is set to announce the abandonment of the fifth Ashes Test in Perth in the next few days due to the state’s hard border stance.

Hobart remains a warm favourite to land the January Test though Melbourne is mounting a strong financial case which will not be dismissed without the deepest consideration.

Lobbying between the cities is expected to escalate following the imminent cancellation of the Perth fixture which is a severe setback for the state given its desire to make the most of newly constructed Optus Stadium.

Hand over some of their mining royalties and it’s a done deal

How will this help?
Won’t they still have to quarantine?

It says in the article they can fly from Brisbane without quarantining

They would screw over so many people in Adelaide if they moved it.

It's sold out here, we would have ordered all the food and drinks, the staff have been organised.

I just can't see them changing it this close to the game

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

No way will they move any other test

WA are going to have to reap what they sow

And the flog who said its a no brainer, with not one consideration of the impact on us and those who have bought tickets and made plans. That's what happens when you have such a dominant position politically that you get super arrogant, but the rest of Australia have no need to swallow their bullshit.

Yep this, would be a dick move if anyone accepted this.
I know a few caterers that will be there and would completely screw them over.
Let McGowan have a cry.

Oh no, it's the consequences of my actions!

Should be no change even though it's a pity for WA fans.

I'm happy for us to take WAs test as well as keeping our own. 2 D/N test matches at the AO...cricket does not get any better

 

[aabp1978]

I mean really we should just give up the test..while we are at it would Perth like the Adelaide Fringe festival? How about a Showdown? I mean whatever we can do to help WA - which really looks out for SA all the time - out....

WA made its Bed now it's time to lay in it.

They can't hold Adelaide hostage while screwing us over to push their agenda

 

[MatthewB]

be good if it did happen, then i could go for 5 days instead of 4

So no Head, Carey, Rashid or Renshaw to tonight. A fairly weak batting line-up but most teams are in the same position.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

As always it comes down to Jono Wells

I just read we have added Daniel Drew and Tom Kelly as replacement players but the batting is very thin.

I missed a call from the strikers earlier.
I guess I was the last one on their list.

If Jake Weatherald could not stupidly run himself out tonight that would be gold

Carey isn’t there so that should help.

why is Rashid out?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

why is Rashid out?

Not picked. Apparently Liam O'Connor has been bowling better than him at training
