Still have an offseason before Dev League 20/20 starts. Don't see it starting for a good 4 months if at all.

Third Test Match
Australia vs West Indies

Australia XI -
Nick Scott
Simon Fitzsimmons
Tarick Weber (wk)
Daniel Smith (Capt)
Highkon Mawk (Test Debut)
Jake McDonald
Higgy Marks
Bryce Cunningham
Brad Pine
Ryan Dunn
Kingsley Clapham

Coach's Call -
Mitchell is injured, so Mawk comes into the side on debut. Fitzsimmons is moved to cover for Heads, who has not looked in good touch. Pine comes into the attack for the SCG, which should provide a lot of turn.

West Indies turn it on


The spin duo of Ryan Hinds and Dave Mohammed were fantastic in this Third Test. The surface encouraged turn, but Brad Pine lacked the experience to make breakthroughs against the clincial West Indians.

Australia next face South Africa at home.

Coach's Call -
A bit frustrating, but alltogether some positive signs. Dunn has been tops, while our batting has been reliable bar this performance. Hopefully we can give the Saffies a shake.

Wondering why I was dropped, itbt.

 

[darko21]

Jeez Piney, lift your game. Probably going to get dropped again!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Gun test.

Chuck me in as Chris Rogers if he's still available.

There are nine blokes averaging more than you in Tests atm. Plus that's only your third post in this thread, assumed you weren't that interested.

 

[Nate]

Nah he's taken mate.
