Your Two Thousand and Twenty Two Test side

[theegyptian]

They might get to a situation in a year or two where Anderson just plays the home tests. Harry Brook and Ollie Pope are the two bats I'd hope to come through.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

What's the oldest seamer in tests btw? Can't imagine there's too many older than anderson since 1960

Hadlee, Imran, Courtney Walsh off the top of my head

 

[Howe_zat]

I hope it's something like

1. Lawrence
2. Hameed
3. Root
4. Livingstone
5. Bairstow
6. Stokes
7. Buttler
8. Woakes
9. Curran
10. Broad
11. Crane

Bumps

Crane, Curran, Lawrence and Livingstone all got test debuts between this post and now so I'm going to call this a non-**** prediction, even though it ended up closer to a T20 side than a Test lineup.

I don't think anyone thought Anderson would still be there and still be gun, somehow he never stopped exceeding expectations.

1. Matt Renshaw
2. Marcus Harris
3. Steve Smith
4. Ashton Turner
5. Peter Handscomb
6. Jason Sangha
7. Matt Wade
8. James Pattinson
9. Pat Cummins
10. Xavier Bartlett
11. Nathan Lyon

Josh Hazlewood, Mitch Starc, Hilton Cartwright, Arjun Nair, Travis Head, any keeper, Mitch Marsh, Jack Wildermuth, Jack Doran, Austin Waugh were all considered.

Haze left out purely because I wanted to have an 11 with a few young guys, not a team full of 100 game vets.

This is a horrible team

 

[morgieb]

Matthew Renshaw
Kurtis Patterson
Steven Smith
Peter Handscomb
Travis Head
Ashton Turner
Sam Whiteman
James Pattinson
Pat Cummins
Mitchell Starc
Josh Hazlewood

lol Ashton Turner

 

[OverratedSanity]

Kohli/Rahane/Pujara will all be 33-34. Reckon 1/2 of them will be done by them for sure.

Welp

 

[Shady Slim]

Matt Renshaw
Dan Hughes
KPat
Steve Smith
Moises Henriques or Hilton Cartwright
Nic Maddinson
Jay Lenton
Pat Cummins
Mitchell Starc or Jason Behrendorff

[Starfighter]

Arjun Nair lol.

 

[Shady Slim]

Arjun Nair lol.

bloke was all the rage then

funnily enough i’ve never liked him, but maybe that’s also a function of him playing for Sydney Green; were i to pick a 2027 test side i would pick Tangha and do the same mistake (but tbf i like tangha)

 

[Shady Slim]

Matt Renshaw
David Warner
Steve Smith
Jake Lehmann
Hilton Cartwright
Austin Waugh
Josh Inglis/Jimmy Peirson
James Pattinson
Pat Cummins
Mitchell Starc
Arjun Nair

gnske was also nairpilled see

hilton cartwright the lee carseldine of twenty seventeen

 

[grecian]

Lol that was a bit tongue in cheek but it seriously wouldn't surprise me if he was still taking 40+ test wickets a year in 3 years time

No need to be Tongue-in-Cheek good call from years ago. Good chance you'll have the bottom 8 play this year.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Cook
Hameed
Root
Clarke
Livingstone
Stokes
Foakes
Archer
Curran S
Fisher
Crane

Cook will be hanging on trying to beat Tendulkar's run record. Stokes may well be a busted flush by then given how much we play and his injury record. Bowling is a complete guess as I don't see any of the current side still being around in 5 years time. We have lots of good young players just not sure I have picked the right ones in my side.

Bit like Howe zat with most of mine getting caps but it looking more like a T20 bowling line up. Glad Clarke is not getting a look in but nobody could have guessed why.

 

[Gremlin]

They might get to a situation in a year or two where Anderson just plays the home tests. Harry Brook and Ollie Pope are the two bats I'd hope to come through.

Good shout!

 

[CricAddict]

Rahul
Iyer
Pujara
Kohli
Rahane
Rohit
Pant
Ashwin
Jadeja
Bhuvi
Yadav

Shami and Ishant might not last long. Iyer and Pant will get into the team while the rest remain the same but with powers on the wane.

Almost all right except for Bumrah and Siraj/Axar for Bhuvi and Rahane.

 

[CricAddict]

Welp

You are right though. Rahane is done. Pujara and Kohli on last legs.

He was never any good and always chucked it

 

[GoodAreasShane]

****ing hell I want to punch myself in the head at the truly awful side I put out. Strangely enough I can't even particularly remember myself particularly rating a couple of those muppets

 

[OverratedSanity]

You are right though. Rahane is done. Pujara and Kohli on last legs.

Technically yes. But all three are probably done. They're just kinda hanging on.

 

[honestbharani]

Livingstone will be a specialist spinner by then.

Inspired call

 

[_00_deathscar]

Technically yes. But all three are probably done. They're just kinda hanging on.

Yea technically you’re not wrong. Just that the selectors haven’t cottoned on. The problem with giving these guys that many chances is that eventually someone will score - what then? You give them another 20 tests while they stink the place out based on that one series where they did well after 20 tests of utter ****?
