2 of our big 3 out ! Months to prepare for this super important series and lose 2 Makes me wonder about fitness prep etc Lot of pressure on Starc Lyon is getting old So much depends on Boland and Doggett Last Ashes here Cummins and Hazelwood missed the pink ball Adelaide test Attack was...

So you also go with Webster over Weatherald ?

I'm a member of Toukley a tough course slope 125 Front and back nines very different No two holes look alike Lot of water ,Hazards and OB Conventional par 72 4 x par 5 4 x par 3 10 x par 4

Based on latest form my team Kwajaja Green Labuschagne Smith Head Webster Carey Starc Lyon Boland Hazelwood or Doggett ( depending on Hazo hammy fitness ) If Doggett in he bats either 8 or 9 If Weatherald plays he opens moving Green to Websters spot Who misses out . So its either...

So far our test squad notable shield pluses Smith 2 digs 113 runs ave 113 Marnus a 50 plus gets run out Green a wicket and 91 not so far ( only bowled 8 overs ??) Webster exceptional with the ball not so much with the bat Starc and Lyon 5-6 wickets each Doggett a handy 5 for Carey a 2nd...

Get your head around this VIC beat NSW by a mere 300 runs ! But Steve Smith batting average for the match is 113 ! Scores 57 and 56 not out Everyone else averaged low single digits 2nd best Konstas with 12 and 27 ave 19.5 NSW batting dreadful To top it off Hazelwood gets hammy issue...

NSW all out 128 Smith 57 Scores 16 ,12 ,10 ,7,6,6 ,4 ,0 4 , o not Konstas 12 actually 3rd best and it was a jaffa BUT NSW batting putrid

Boland bowls Konstas for 12 with an absolute jaffa Pitched about 6 inches out side off and cuts back and hits top of off Boland is in form ! Also both Starc and Lyon got 4 wickets each

I was at the SCG when Mathews got a test ton So long ago I can't remember when or who against Was a very good allrounder

Well day 1 of last Shield round before test Weatherald failed ,Head failed Starc got 4 of the 6 Vic wickets who are 6-332 ( SCG must be flat ) Doggett picks up a 5 for Not much else to talk about from out test squad

Kwajaja Weatherald , Labuschagne ,Smith , Head , Green , Inglis , Webster and Carey That's 9 so 2 to miss out Who ? For me that's Green and Inglis Who's your 2 to miss out ? Assume Starc ,Lyon ,Boland and Hazelwood make up the rest The other option is either Marnus or Green open and...

Reason we lost 4th T20 I We were quite respectable with the ball We were ok sort of in the field a bad dropped catch by Bartlett and a bad missed ground field by Zampa With the bat we can face fast and medium pace but we can't score vs spin We don't our feet enough . Spin is our weak link

Our weak bowling attack OMG Abbott goes for 50 off 3 overs No Starc No Hazelwood No Zampa = No hope Here's a tid bit .Our spinner Kunemann has NEVER taken a T20 I wicket Ellis is ok Bartlett is ok if wicket seaming but hopeless today Rest Rubbish How can Australian selectors put such a...
