Yep. This is pretty much the side they intend to take to India.

Obviously, the jury's still out on Cartwright (bloke's hardly had anything to do tbf, and hasn't disgraced himself with what he has done) but I'm okay with that, mostly.
Absolutely. Doesn't matter what we do though. Whoever we pick we're going there hoping for someone to stand up rather than expecting a side to be really competitive. Even (or especially) Warner is a crossed-fingers option. Smitteh, Starc and Haze we can be pretty confident will perform credibly. Nafe will probably have a good innings or two. Everyone else is gonna be suck it and see.

Cartwright is the most risky of the risks, but one worth sticking with now that we've taken the punt on him. Just wish he didn't look like he was guessing Yasir's length rather than picking it.

Yeah I mean I still expect us to get absolutely hosed but if some newbies stand up, then that'll be okay.

Heh, 4-0 loss with no more than 3 of the 15 permanently mentally scarred will do me. (Wade being one of the victims preferably)

Bowler workloads you know. But the couldn't bat 60 overs in Melbourne so Smith might assume they won't here and bat.
Spending a session and a half watching the rain is the same as spending a session and a half watching the batsmen bat.

I see a Wade drop is now so normal that no one on here even comments about it anymore.

Urgh I might have spoke too soon about the declaration. Pakistan a reasonable shot of keeping the lead under 200.

Haze just a class act these days. Deserves those two wickets.

Great knock Younis. Sensational stuff

I was really hoping the great man would build a monument on what is likely his last tour here. Didn't disappoint.
