[Gob]

Kidding, right? Harris is class against lefties. He was the one who gave Cook that horrible run in the first place.

 

[Gob]

Yeah thought of cook before making that post but that aside he always looks more dangerous against the right handers. Cbf to check the stats though

The shortest battle of this Ashes is going to be Harris vs Root.

improved for accuracy

3% think peter siddle should play too.

nah, just n00fers has learnt how to delete cookies

Sample size of 100? Noofers, Siddle and his mum.

 

[Riggins]

Siddle's mum or n00fers' mum?

I see there is a 2 day practice match starting tomorrow at Isle of Wight.

Harris, Rogers, Mitch Marsh and Nevill will be playing for an International Academy XI against Hampshire Second XI

n00fers has been away on his honeymoon. Not much else to do but lie on the beach and vote for his one true love.

Noofers. Siddles knows better.

Starting to get excited for this now. My 90-year-old gran told me she was getting sky sports put in on Sunday... ready to watch!

I remember Marsh's 5/33 in a ODI. Bell, Ballance, Root, Morgan and Buttler c keeper and slips. Would have him instead of Watson.

 

[Antihippy]

I remembered that as well and I still think his bowling is worse than watson.

Practice match scores

Rogers 2 (c Jake Doran b Harris)
Marsh 70
Nevill 67
Harris 1-45 (15 overs)

Apparently 19-yr old Tom Alsop took Harris on and did well, 37-yr old Rogers not so much

Scorecard here.

 

[aussie tragic]

Cool, Ryan Harris in now batting at #6

Strange that Marsh hasn't bowled yet?

 

[Cabinet96]

Hopefully Aus do the right thing and drop Lyon for Zampa after this.

lol, only if you replace Cook with Joe Gatting

 

[flibbertyjibber]

His career is a constant cycle of getting injured and coming back. Don't think it's a problem for him.

The only problem is if it is one injury too far. That day will come but he deserves the chance to show it on the field not because there might be another option available.

How many more practice matches left before the first test? 1 or 2?
