    Australian Domestic Season 2015/16

    Very happy with Carters being used as a specialist opener with Nevill out and Haddin gone.

    Why did Mennie bat ahead of Zampa in the second dig?

    Boy Kane Richardson set Abbott up beatifully there.

    Australian Domestic Season 2015/16

    Stoinis should not be in that Victoria XI ahead of Rob Quiney. They hardly need Stoinis' military mediums when they already have an attack of Pattinson, Hastings, Boland, Holland, Christian, Maxwell, White, (McKay) & (Siddle). Absolute stitch up.

    Australian Domestic Season 2015/16

    Yeah this ^ If an ACT team happened it'd be NSW A and they'd have 5 or so of the 15 being Country/ACT based.

    Talk about missing the point.

    Australian test selection thread 2015/16

    100% From my experience vice captaincy is so far from equalling 'next best tactical captain'. It should be the bloke most capable of offering the captain, team and squad support. It should be a player who leads by actions and is a core part of the team. Nathan Lyon should have been vice captain...

    **** I'm dirty with the vice captaincy decision.

    Australian test selection thread 2015/16

    Gee that Warner thumb fracture throws a spanner in the works. I'd honestly give Watson a crack with Bancroft if Warner is out. Short term solution and his glaring technical problems will probably be a bit ironed out over there.

    Warne's best Australian ODI XI from the past 25 years

    Waugh, Gilchrist, Ponting, Waugh, Hussey, Bevan, Symonds, Warne, Lee, Bracken, McGrath Hogg, Watson, Jones, Hayden, Martyn, Clarke, Starc all incredibly unlucky to miss out.

    Was Stokes Out?

    Out every day of the week.

    ***Official*** Australia in Ireland and England 2015 (limited overs)

    Pattinson, Marsh and Stoinis should miss out tonight IMO. Having Marsh or Wade bat at 8 would be really stupid considering all of the bowlers can bat. Also think a spinner is a must and like the CW consensus that Wade should be used in the middle order rather than at 7/8/

    ***Official*** Australia in Ireland and England 2015 (limited overs)

    Been such an odd career. 4 and a half years since he burst onto the scene in the big bash in 2011 where he played a pivotal role in winning South Australia the tournament. He took the most wickets in the tournament that year with 11 in 7 games. Since then he has only played 16 games of T20...

    *Official* Fifth Test at the Oval

    Nathan Lyon will have to bowl 50+ overs if things don't go to plan with a PC, MS, MJ attack.

    Australian test selection thread 2015/16

    Well AFAIC all of Nevill, Wade and Whiteman have more than enough potential to be suited to that than any keeper we've had for a long time.

    long term Australian XI

    Do those statistics not prove that those 2 are not obviously better than Lyon. If you take that one season out for Ahmed he's nowhere near as impressive either. The best stats based spinner hasn't even entered the conversation yet ffs.

    ***Official*** Australia in Ireland and England 2015 (limited overs)

    What he will never be is an economical bowler in OD stuff. But unless administrators make some changes away from the ridiculously batting weighted format, not many all rounders will be. What I think the general consensus is that he's just too good a raw player to leave out considering how gash...

    Australian test selection thread 2015/16

    I can't live with Shaun Marsh. He's just flat out not good enough. I don't know what the answer is, but it's not Darsh. And despite a decent output with the willow over the past 18 months or so, I am far from sold on Mitch Marsh being up to test cricket as a bat who bowls a bit either. In fact...

    long term Australian XI

    I really shouldn't be getting into this conversation because I think it is an absolute joke. But I'd really like to nitpick here and suggest that Agar being an upgrade in the field is talking out of your ass. I can recall one or two drops from Lyon but overall he's absolutely superb in the...
