Does Zampa have the ability to play test cricket?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Doubt it. Regularly is substandard for SA with the red ball.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Nope. Not unless he starts to land the ball consistently and shows form in the shield. He's a solid short form cricketer though

He averages 50 with the red ball. He's played 26 matches. He's no first class cricketer

My right arm straight breaks would be more dangerous.

Batting first.

Marshmellow brothers into the side

 

[Jatz]

I'm betting that the openers do nothing, Smith goes relatively cheaply, Marsh + Handscomb put together a reasonable partnership and then everyone else falls for about 18 runs.

Mitch Marsh... gets dropped... proceeds to average 8.... gets recalled for an important away tour.

* off Mark Waugh!

**** off Mark Waugh!

I assume he's in for his batting? Why not just play a 3rd spinner?

Reality is that he's a better bat than Agar and Maxwell is a less dangerous Lyon bowling wise

May as well have kept Khawaja in then. We'll need the extra batting more than the extra bowling, surely?

Marsh has a better record in Asia.

Mitch Marsh?

Yep.

 

[Jatz]

Yep.

Only averages 32 on the sub continent. What on earth does Uzi average? Haha.

Late teens I think. Hasn't passed 50 there in his past 15 FC innings'

Well there you go. I suppose 32 beats late teens. Lesser of two evils I guess.

Nice start by Renshaw.

Yep, averages 19 with a high score of 26 in Asia. 32 is acceptable in Asia for us sadly, not good, but acceptable.

a spinner opening a test match just isnt right.
