This would not have been on my bingo list for overseas series shown on FTA but you know what suck **** Fox

Never thought I would be full maste for the actions of an old man with the last name Howard, but by god Jeff has done it. Jeff Howard for PM, and my DM'S.

No nissanka for the first test. Probably gonna be replaced by oshada. Sonal dinusha is to be added to the squad. In pretty good form.

[Gnske]

Another half a month of Australians not knowing how to play spin on free to air tv.

Will not stand for this batting slander towards Matt "opened the batting for Australia in test cricket" Kuhnemann.

You may as well bat Connolly where Inglis is, and pick Boland as an extra seamer. Connolly is primarily a batter, he's never taken a FC wicket.

I don't think that will stop them batting him at eight judging by their overtures.

If the pitches are looking catastrophic then I'm not totally against #batdeep. Also given Head is landing it pretty well of late.

Again? Not sure what you mean by that as he has never played Tests in the first place. I am certainly not proposing he should be axed from the white ball teams


But Zampa really isn't a red ball bowler at all. Just too easy to pick off for 3-4 an over with absolutely no risk whatsoever. Liability in the field as well

Zampa shouldn't be anywhere near the Aust Test team..
