No grass on that wicket

3rd man

I’m thinking a lot of quick singles

No grass on that wicket

I’m sure the cracks were opening up





Will I get away with that?

Probably been posted already .. definitely worth posting again though

England look like they are banking another moral victory in the T20s against India.

Think the ICC need to have a world championship "moral victory" table to help the Poms win something

I gather Pom were in winning positions & let the Indians back into the game.

Was there some controversy around the concussion? I thought players can be subbed out & replaced?

Has to be a like for like. India subbed out an all rounder for an opening bowler.

Ok, is this what the complaints were about.

Was there another allrounder available?

Signed off by the match referee*, play on.

You'd have to imagine there wasn't.

I mean he got concussed on the 2nd last ball too

Wtf?

Match referee has to be from another country.

India had plenty of allrounders to choose from in their squad...

Yep

You can see why the English weren't happy, for a change.

I don’t think they have to for T20’s.

All umpires in T20 internationals are from the home country, so I assume it’s the same for the match referee.

Hmmm, that seems to be an oversight.

So what team are we thinking about for the World Test Championship?

Would like to see something like...

1 Khawaja
2 Konstas
3 Smith
4 Green
5 Head
6 Webster
7 Carey
8 Cummins
9 Starc
10 Lyon
11 Boland / Hazelwood

Depends on what the rest of the shield season is like for batsman, maybe Hunt or someone else pushes their name forward, but wouldn’t be surprised if they gave Labuschange one final opportunity as an opening batsman, before the ashes next summer.

Doubt we will debut Hunt in the World Test Championship unless there are injuries.

Surely Konstas & Khawaja open?

 

[Mostyn]

Interesting that both Australia A and the Australian women look like beating the Poms by an innings.

I really like this lineup.

I think it’ll depend on the rest of the shield season, if Konstas is scoring runs then you’d think he’ll get straight back in.

I’d drop Labuschange, his form for his last 20-25 tests now has been very mediocre.

I have Green replacing Labuschagne.

Reckon the selectors will be keen to return Konstas after Sri Lanka.
