*Official* Warm up Matches Discussion

It really probably should be Khawaja though. Smith is one of the few decent players of spin and adds balance being a right hander too. Warner could directly sub into 3 as well, which is where he belongs anyway imo.

 

[four_or_six]

How come the rested players are actually staying in London? Surely it's better to have everyone together from a teamwork point of view, not just off the field but in terms of coming up with bowling/batting plans.

 

[Spikey]

cause sussex suxs i guess

 

[Spikey]

clarke and maybe haddin are really the only people who have to travel with the group imo.

 

[91Jmay]

Smith needs to play as his leg spin will be useful at OT.

 

[Spikey]

warner can bowl

 

[uvelocity]

so can wade

 

[91Jmay]

Wade's not a spinner so that's not relevant. Warner is a good shout, especially as he has found some form now - don't see why he wouldn't be in the side. Where would he bat though? In for Hughes?

 

[aussie tragic]

Warner 149* off of 184 balls vs SA "A".....pressure on Khawaja, Smith and Hughes for this game now...may the best 2 step up

 

[Prince EWS]

Da faq is Turner.

That's Turner. WAG. Love him to bits. I'm absolutely stoked.

 

[Prince EWS]

Absolute disgrace picking a guy with no first class experience. If they needed a spinner, give Boyce or Rose an opportunity or fly over someone from the A squad who didn't make the XI like Maddinson.

None of those blokes are already in England like Turner was though. I get the feeling they just cbf flying someone over to make up the numbers.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Taylor to play for Sussex then.

Looks like KP's potential replacement is being pencilled in..

So much for Compo's runs versus the tourists.

 

[Maximas]

christ, all the bloody hacks scored runs today, maybe the SA bowlers couldn't handle their aggression well. Warner has certainly earned a flight back to England, he should bat 3 IMO

 

[Adders]

Bring in your Million Dollar Man.....AUS problems solved.

 

[Tangles]

Maxwell scored a ton. So they were facing pies. Bring them both in snd shuffle the batting lineup again. That's worked so well so far.

 

[outbreak]

yeah Maxwell's runs at that quick really made me question the value of warners score. Sure he must be in form and looking good to make that much but seems inflated a lot and if he bats that aggressive in england chances are he'll just go out playing stupid shots.

 

[morgieb]

If Maxwell plays I'll punch something.

 

[Tangles]

Remember when he opened the batting and the bowling in India? 1 more reason to hate Twatto.

The South African A attack is not a bad one by any stretch of the imagination

Think that this is just a case of Warner playing to his potential and Maxwell reaping the benefits

I know who he is. Was making a (bad) joke.
