He gets replaced by Cameron in the team. It's allowed if he's pulled out of the game for Australian duties.

Nah, only the top 3 have used up their quota of runs for the series.By DeusEx's logic, England should be 100 all out in both innings at Adelaide

So over this mentality that we have to play a spinner. We don't have Warne anymore. Play your best 4 bowlers regardless of whether they are pace or spin.

Mate how is Usman a risk? Next to North, my 88 year old grandmother isn't a risk.
She has a fair cover drive tbf.

Failed a couples times recently tbf. Even so, I'd still play him.
edit. I don't think he's a risk as such. But others may so I put it there

And people criticise County Cricket. At least it is a real tournament without faffing around like this.

It's poor scheduling really, why they didn't have all three shield games concluding on the same day as the test match and therefore gauge the performance of all players playing is really a mystery.

I'm fairly sure players have been allows to replace others in county cricket in similar circumstances. Seem to remember Jon Lewis doing it.

Yeah I agree, it's a farce. People wonder why there are no crowds at Shield games - I'm confident that the Shield would get a lot more support uf Cricket Australia treated it like a national competition and not just a place to pick Test cricketers from.

Haven't been crowds at the Shield since Bradman retired.
