***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

Cricinfo Twitter -

Two hours after the SCG Test, Cricket Australia releases the squad for Perth. BCCI releases the IPL 2012 schedule.

Pattinson out of series with a foot injury. Might explain his bowling over the last two days.

Rather ****, tbh.

NOT A FUNNY JOKE


As being discussed in the BigBash thread Haze has a metatarsal injury too. Fuuuuu. Bollinger re-did a hamstring. Copeland is bowling again. Cummins isn't. McKay is alive I guess.


Oh and Starc

 

[Ruckus]

Be a stress fracture.

It must be something different:

"The 21-year-old was taken for X-rays and scans shortly after the conclusion of the second Test on Friday where he was cleared of stress fractures but it was revealed he had developed the early stage of stress-related bone trauma on his left metatarsal"

 

[Sylvester]

Don't tell me he was playing with pain killer injections as well.

 

[Burgey]

These supposedly supportive super lightweight fandangled shoes try wear really work a treat, eh?

 

[Spark]

Reports say he was cleared of a stress fracture, though.

 

[Burgey]

Copes into the breeeeeezzzzzzze

 

[Burgey]

No wonder Patto looked angry.

Oh wait.....

 

[Spikey]

The intention of the National Selection Panel was to rest James from the Perth Test match as this young man has played in four Test matches over a period of just five weeks," Inverarity said. "This intention has become a necessity after post-match scans have revealed James' foot injury."

Sure it was Johh

 

[Ruckus]

So what do have for the third test then? Harris must be a certainty now. But if they go for 4 quicks, who is the 4th option? Starc has surely dropped a few places in the list...

Edit: or not it seems.

Starc was also in the nets in Sydney bowling flat chat. It'll be him I'd say.

 

[Spikey]

No starc got named in the squad eg 4 seamers won't be played. But I said before in here that because we're up 2-0 I don't think it'll be that bouncy of a pitch. As far as I can tell Christan hasn't been named thank god (if the cost of not playing Christan means injuring a bowler then damnit I'll pay it)

yeah it is him, I just read the article on cricinfo where it says he has replaced Pattinson. Would much prefer Lyon now tbh.

BURT ****LEY!!!!

[Spikey]

Burt makes his return this weekend doesn't he?

MOMENTUM

 

[Burgey]

Really don't think they'll play Lyon. If Harris breaks down again mid-match they'll have two quicks in Perth. Recipe for a shambles tbh.

 

[Ruckus]

Oh I thought Watson was going to be fit again?

 

[Spikey]

I don't think he's even started training. I don't think he's a chance for Adl either

 

[Burgey]

He's been batting but not bowling.

 

[Ruckus]

Seriously??? Far out this is getting annoying... Well I guess that gives all of the top order another chance to prove themselves then.
