No point picking Cutting if you aren't going to play him at Brisbane.

Rosco just confirmed we're playing three quicks and Vettori.

Pitch also looked green on TV.

 

[Athlai]

Hope Taylor has went for the double bluff.

 

[Flem274*]

Nah I reckon we're going to be conservative.

The GABBA in looking green on day one shocker.

Ross has come out with even more praise for Dougeh in this article. I think he's in love.

Ross has good taste.

These warm up games vs New Zealand provide a good chance for blokes like Usman to notch up their maiden test match ton.

I'm not impressed with these warm ups from our pov. Not sure this Aussie bowling attack can prepare us for South Africa. Hope the Gabba is green to even things up a bit. Ryder can only eat so many pies.

What, you boys are warming up for your next test series to be held in 2019?

We have three tests against South Africa next year.

That's right; three.

Australia obvz been downgraded to 2 test minnow status.

 

[benchmark00]

Cute.

 

[Flem274*]

Is that all you have left?

 

[benchmark00]

NZ haven't won a test match against a non minnow for two years. I don't have to say anything more than that.

Zimbabwe has a better attack than you though.

New Zealand cricketer of the year Chris Martin will be hard to combat from your end also tbf.

Benchy won't admit it, but that was a pretty good reply.

But then it is incredibly hard to make a come back from this. Poor NZ. They really need to win a test this series. They just have to.

 

[Days of Grace]

Well, I must agree with Taylor in selecting 6 batsmen and three quicks.

After all the chest-beating on here saying that we must select four quicks, the reality is if we are four down at lunch on day one, I would like to have at least one more batsman coming in.

And if it really is green, three quicks should be sufficient.

Plus we have Brownlee to scathe through the middle-order if needed.
