*Official* Australia A in England 2019

[TheJediBrah]

Tbh if there's anyone who can play in those conditions, it's a bloke called Wade

**** me that's quality

Eh I think I'll just move it out of the Ashes forum but leave it as one thread. Limited overs and FC games games being considered part of the same tour is a very common practice for CricketWeb threads -- A-team tours and actual internationals not so much.

A moderator using their brains, surprised but happy with the move. Thank you.

He should've been in the WC instead of one of Darsh and Khawaja.

No if he was going on tour he should have gone instead of Carey. In fact remove the "if he was going on tour" part of that sentence, despite Carey finally looking the goods.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Callum Ferguson in the Worcestershire side to take on an Australia A side led by his friend and long time teammate Travis Head, should be interesting

 

[aussie tragic]

Good thing they moved the game from Worcester...game abandoned without a ball bowled

 

[aussie tragic]

Reading the following online regarding the 2 Gloucestershire OD games (today and Tuesday):

(1) Wade will take the gloves in both
(2) Pucovski and Patterson will be moved up the order today as they have not had a chance yet
(3) Pattinson will be rested again today, but should play on Tuesday
(4) Hazlewood aims to play last 2 games and likely to replace Neser today

I was hoping that Chadd Sayers would play for Gloucster today, but doesn't seem to be in the squad.

Also not sure what the point of bringing Pattinson into the OD A squad if they're not going to play him, they might as well of just made him part of the 4-day squad.

Haze really is a class above the rest of that attack

 

[aussie tragic]

Haze really is a class above the rest of that attack

Yeah, 1-24 off 10 is the only bowler below 4.6 econ. Marsh 3 wkts not bad for an allrounder though...

Hope Haze and Patto destroy in the next game

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Wade picking up where he left off once again. Tearing into some rookie seamer

 

[aussie tragic]

Pucovski opening, I knew he was heading up the order but didnt think is OD record deserves to open with Wade the semi-god

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Meh, Wade hits one straight up trying to blast it after already hitting a four and six in the over, not great game awareness shown

Head gone to a loose slash now too, this Liddle guy looks terrible, absolutely all over the place, but he has two wickets.

 

[aussie tragic]

Australian bowlers were stating that Pucovski had more time to play than anyone else in the nets, which would make him pretty special...anyone watching to testify true or not?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

He's looked solid, pretty well organised, but it isn't the most testing conditions he will ever face.

Somewhat odd he was even in the 50 over squad, but not unprecedented as Australia A sides usually have a few hunchy potential picks in them, Greg Chappell logic

 

[aussie tragic]

Good to see Pucovski move up and get a 50 but what's the point in batting K'Pat at 7?

 

[aussie tragic]

Mitch Marsh having a bit of a mini Steve Waugh tour of 1989...3 innings, not been dismissed yet

Yes selection for Aus A squads (and even actual Aus squads) have often seemed to ignore the format entirely and pick players who have excelled at other formats

 

[aussie tragic]

Same team today except Neser replacing Tye and Pucovski gets to open again.

Pattinson missing yet again. I hope they're not hiding an injury since his one full county match (other 2 games were heavily rain affected)

 

[aussie tragic]

And young Will scores his first 100 in Australian colours...100* off 112 balls so far

 

[Jarquis]

Chris Liddle is garbage and I can't believe he hasn't retired, so no idea why he's playing.

MMarsh with an interesting innings the other day. Scored 50 with 5 bombs but only just quicker than a run a ball.

 

[aussie tragic]

Aussie A making a huge score in Bristol, 3-353.

Wade 42 (37), Pucovski 137 (135), Head 138 (120)
