*Official* Australia A in England 2019

[stephen]

So Aussie A has gone from 'difficult to decide which 2 batsmen to leave out' to ' we don't have enough batsmen to play.

Handscomb has already joined the WC squad and unconfirmed rumours are that Wade and M. Marsh will both be joining WC squad as cover for Khawaja and Stoinis.

This leaves Burns, Harris, Pucovski, Head, Patterson and Paine as top 6, so Neser and Patterson as the only bowlers that can bat would have to be 7-8.

Are Khawaja and Stoinis both injured?

dermo abbott can bat

dermo abbott can bat

But he's not in the squad as was only part of the OD series

 

[aussie tragic]

Are Khawaja and Stoinis both injured?

Both are going for scans today and Finch has already stated it really doesn't look good for Khawaja

Yep, confirmed. Pucovski to move to 3 which is where I would prefer to see him bat anyway

 

[aussie tragic]

So much for the long awaited Hazlewood and Pattinson reunion. Sussex 0-46 off 9 overs

Pattinson turned up with a decent 3 wicket haul though.

Can you watch a decent stream of these A matches anywhere?

He's on the piss drinking Sangria in Barcelona atm, so I don't know if anyone would understand what he said if he answered anyway.

So Wade does not get a chance to press for selection in the Ashes quad because he has to join the world cup squad, very disappointing. Hopefully he can play against the Lions in the next match.

Nope, Wade will be busy playing the World Cup final at Lords when the Lions game starts

Hopefully Australia lose the semi final to England then there will be no clash.

aussie tragic is really into this random tour hey?

 

[Loose Cannon]

Hopefully an asteroid wipes out this world and all its short-form sinners

then we can watch Test matches in heaven

although Wade is clearly going to the other place, where he will be forced to play the hundred with Forkers

 

[GoodAreasShane]

It took him a few overs to hit his radar, but Patto once again proving he is truly a cut above when he is fit and firing.

Glad we bowled first tbh, as much for the sake of Burns as anything. The plan was to give him a touch of rest before easing him back in but injuries in the World Cup squad took that plan and blew it out the warer

 

[TheJediBrah]

Early days but Haze could find himself out of a spot if he doesn't start taking poles in the warm ups
