***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[OverratedSanity]

Surely no matter what he's an improvement on MMarsh?

 

[honestbharani]

so another Maxwell?



TBH, I am surprised they have not called up Henriques. Not only did he do well last time, but he has also had multiple good performances across seasons in the IPL and is well used to this environment. I really think this is a Chappell selection based on "lets get someone the opposition think we will never pick".

 

[harsh.ag]

Stoinis just replacing MMarsh in the squad, right? Maxwell in the first XI surely? Or Khawaja maybe.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Like the way Australia is handling the situation. Easy to get riled up and lose focus on the real job at hand but does not seem like so upto now.

 

[Spikey]

Man, if there's a bloke with lead filled shoes against spin in this country...His only run scoring shots against spin are big shots for boundaries.

i fear what maxy will do if stonis gets a game ahead of him

 

[Prince EWS]

Wait still no Maxwell? I thought that was a given.

Stoinis has just been added to the squad (which Maxwell was already in) rather than the eleven (which hasn't been announced yet).

 

[harsh.ag]

Stoinis has been chosen because of the Australia A tour to India in 2015. On that tour, he averaged 48 with the bat and claimed 3 wickets in two matches.

Ah that makes sense.

But not really. Most people were expecting Henriques I'm assuming?

 

[Spikey]

nah the way maxwell stuff has gone down in the past 10 odd months, him going into the team is anything but a given

 

[Prince EWS]

Ah that makes sense.

But not really. Most people were expecting Henriques I'm assuming?

Yeah, I was definitely expecting Henriques, with Cartwright an outside chance. I didn't even consider the possibility of Stoinis getting picked before I saw him listed as an option in the Marsh injury article, and even then I pretty much dismissed it off hand.

 

[anil1405]

Do they look like they are planned? On the contrary, they appear with the same planning as vomit.

Regarding Kholi, why is he necessarily lying. Why can't he mean the whole Indian innings when he refers to 'batting'. I know back in the day, when playing, I'd tell my mum, 'I'm batting today', even when that really meant I'm sitting on the boundary listening for the ice cream truck for most of the day.

You are free to abuse Kohli but please stop the "Kholi" disease from spreading on CW.

same. i'm actually ok with Henriques not being picked, given he's only just got back on track fitness wise, but we've gone MMarsh to Cartwright to MMarsh to Stoinis with barely a logical reason to be found

 

[Spark]

Nah, he definitely meant it in the sense that when he himself was batting. He said he saw it happening twice while he was batting.

It doesn't necessarily have to be untrue just because there weren't any reviews made during his stay at the crease. There could have been two close calls for which dressing room advice was sought and then a decision was made against the review.

Yeah but unless I've missed something, there were no close calls during that time. At least not of an appealing nature, though a few balls almost went to hand.

Like I don't want to say he just made it up. But I genuinely have no idea what he's referring to.

 

[Daemon]

Stoinis? Poor enriques.

Wonder what it feels like to not be picked, loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away. To be the last one, to know the lock on the door has changed.

 

[social]

It's weird. One second you have me admiring you for the fact that your business partner and you are pitching presentations to heads of states, and the next second you do something like this.

This is how my business works

My partner is by far the smartest guy I know, a good friend with a big software development company

I simply said to him that this is my idea and asked him whether he would like to be involved.

He said "cool" so I bankrolled it and opened my Rolodex when it got to a certain stage

Rest is history and I live on the beach whilst he travels the world

Please.

Ghandi, Kholi. Get a clue ffs.

 

[Prince EWS]

Ghandi, Kholi. Get a clue ffs.

Ghambiring.

 

[weldone]

Ghambiring.

Phews

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ghandi, Kholi. Get a clue ffs.

Ghambiring.

And to top it all off, they pronounce it Doh-ni instead of Dhoni

The one time the h should come before. So ****ing idiotic.
