    Australian Test Selection Thread 2017 - 2018

    This IMO. Bancroft's doing well but at Test level Renshaw's only struggled with the Bangladesh series and was our second leading run scorer in India. If he struggles in the first two games we can look at Bancroft for the WACA (or w/e the ground will be). It's a good thing that we finally have...

    Australian Test Selection Thread 2017 - 2018

    I'd just go with Nevill regardless and keep Bancroft as the reserve opener. Cartwright would take 6.

    West Australian XI vs England

    Yep it should end up being an interesting series. The Gabba might not be as favourable for batting as usual with all the rain that's been around, Adelaide is a day-nighter (I assume) and hasn't been as much of a road since it's switched to D/N so our batting could be heavily exposed early on in...

    West Australian XI vs England

    Typically we do throw up a "reasonable" (first class standard) CA XI for warm ups with guys who aren't necessarily next in line but at least there abouts (E.G. Ryan Carters a few years back, Aaron Finch etc). Personally I'd prefer we go back to how things were back when we dominated and touring...

    Australian Domestic Season 2017/18

    He's only playing as a bat this season though with no bowling. Unless the selectors finally decide on no all rounder I doubt it will happen. Personally would prefer it if he's kept out of the Test side and given a decent run in the Shield to work on his game and put up some big numbers before...

    ***Official*** Australia in India ODIs/T20s 2017

    I think Hennybogan's side is pretty well balanced. Keeper is really the main concern (maybe Dunk at a 7/slogging role with the all rounders pushed up). I reckon we should stack our best bowlers since we don't exactly have quality bats in reserve anyway and Starc/Cummins aren't the worst lower...

    Four-day test cricket

    About the only possible benefit I could see from it is if it meant more Tests were played overall due to the extra time saved (E.G. no more 2 match series) but I don't see that happening and instead more meaningless ODI's and T20's to fill the calendar.

    ***Official*** Australia in India ODIs/T20s 2017

    Don't think our current state is any different than usual at this stage of a world cup cycle. Normally we're doing funky things with the side until 12 months out from the world cup when we start to settle things down. We seem to have plenty of decent all rounders for the format and IMO it's just...

    Australian Test Selection Thread 2017 - 2018

    Pretty much what I expect. Maxwell is/should probably ahead in the pecking order unless something crazy happens during the Shield rounds.

    Australian Test Selection Thread 2017 - 2018

    I don't see too many changes/weird selections happening. Wade almost certainly gone unless he scores runs this test, possible questions over the number 6/all rounder slot and then it's just a matter of who's fit from the pace battery. Renshaw Warner Khawaja Smith * Handscomb Maxwell/Cartwright...

    wtf just happened to cricinfo

    Wasn't working at all for me (Chrome) yesterday but it's been working fine today for both Tests so hopefully something they can sort out. Can't stand the new site myself. So much real estate taken up by junk and the commentary doesn't really stand out for important events. I think the match...

    Australian Off Season 2017

    If this were true and CA were expecting their TV rights revenue to go down (I don't believe it) then sticking to the current revenue sharing model would be far better than offering players contracts which offer more than what they are currently receive (CA would end up getting locked in at these...

    The Moises Henriques tracker

    My order would probably be something like this. I'm not 100% sure on the exact players for some spots but this general structure. Warner Second Opener Smith (c) Handscombe + Lynn/Head Lynn/Head/M Marsh/Maxwell Maxwell/M Marsh Bowlers with Starc and Haze as locks. IMO this provides a solid...

    The Moises Henriques tracker

    IMO bring in Handscombe for Wade. Give him the gloves and have him bat at 4. His keeping may not be great but neither is Wades and he'll at least improve the batting. Shuffle everyone else around as required.

    Bowlers who you like/don't like to watch

    For some reason I always loved watching Matthew Hoggard bowl.

    Your Two Thousand and Twenty Two Test side

    Matthew Renshaw David Warner (probably fading at this point) Steve Smith Hilton Cartwright Jake Lehmann Ashton Turner Pierson/Jake Doran/Handscomb (keeper) James Pattinson Pat Cummins Josh Hazlewood Nathan Lyon Most of the team should be the same. Keeper was the hardest pick with no standouts...

    Voges retiring from State cricket as well. Will keep playing county cricket.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    That's pretty much what I would go with except I'd have Lyon over Swepson and Nevill over Wade. If Lyon stinks it up for the first 2 tests I'd give Swepson a run and see what he can do.

    Career-saving performances

    What about Steve Smith's first Test century in the 2013 English Ashes? Up until that point he'd made 3 or 4 50s since being recalled and plenty of other bats were being dropped at the time (Cowan, Hughes, Khawaja).
