Your Test Team in 2018

[Kippax]

Yeah, I see Devcich not so much as a self-made man, as a guy who inherited some agribusiness Bitcoin, which he was too lazy to work out how to convert into cash about five years ago.

Hilarious.

One's post count should go up by a bonus 100 posts for every dig at Anton.

Phil Hughes,Nic Maddinson will be in the 11 by then.Some persons in high places have been speaking highly of Sam Whiteman.I see Mitch Marsh taking up the all rounder's role.Maybe Jake Doran might be around the team by then.I know all the talk has been about Muirhead and I think he is very talented but I have not seen a more talented leggie among the young leggies in Australia than Zampa.Cameron Boyce might be another leggie to keep an eye on.

chur 7 ND players in there.

 

[Kippax]

He decided four years is too short for Joe Carter to address his defensive footwork probs and make it 8/11.

He's calling it pretty straight lately, Howsie. We all thought Carl Cachopa had some stodgy valour about him, but Howsie was right, he was just a wallflower who dreamed of loosening up a bit and getting into agribusiness, but at that stage didn't know how.

Hughes has had a huge number of opportunities and doesn't seem to have much support coming from Lehmann. He might be the perennial squad player, tbh.

Nic Maddinson currently has Shaun Marsh Syndrome. Looks great, but really doesn't inspire that much confidence at Test level. I suspect he'll get a go around 2016 or 2017, be dropped for a couple of years, and then hopefully come back and make the 5000 Test runs I had him nailed on for. All the talent in the world; he just has to use it.

Jake Doran will still be very young. Big call to pick him for a Test gig this early, even if the signs are good. A lot can happen in 4 years for a prodigy.

Zampa/Boyce may come along nicely, but Gazza will be hitting his prime IMO.

Phil Hughes is currently in the selectors sight and quite rightly so. He has scored heaps in the Sheffield Shield.He will replace Rogers one feels when Rogers retire.Maddinson is still quite young and has all the talent in the world.I think we're entering into an exciting period in Aussie cricket sure the Cameron White ,Ferguson , Marsh generation have failed but we are now booming with young talents.I said it before and I"ll say it again Australia will be a force because of their pace prospects.

 

[Red]

Something about Warner and Hughes just doesn't feel right to me.

 

[Bahnz]

Latham
Williamson

[Lillian Thomson]

Most Australian sides scuppered by the Phil Hughes tragedy. England ........... Alex Lees..... hmmm.

 

[harsh.ag]

Jadeja has surprised one and all. No one saw KL Rahul coming either.

 

[Shri]

Anyway, Indian test outfit:

Rahane / Chand

4. Chris Lynn
5. Travis Head
6. Steven Smith
7. Jake Doran
8. James Pattinson

Sticking my neck out on the line with a few of those calls, but meh

Oh dear at Silk and Doran.

Hughes

Bowling pretty good though I wish I'd have picked Hazlewood.
