***Official*** Tour Games

[vic_orthdox]

Personally, I think it's a bit of a mistake for England to ask for the Tour Game vs NSW to be even further informalised. It takes away a lot of match pressure and would make it harder to be mentally switched on for a game, and turns it into glorified net sessions / centre wicket practice.

Will Macgill be playing, or will he have abused any more umpires in the meantime?

Macgill lets slip that NSW may bat for 3 days if they win the toss... That would be quite entertaining, and no doubt frustrating for the poms

Also, difficult unless England only bowl 40 overs a day.

I'm kind of disappointed about the Mickey Mouse nature of the NSW v England fixture. However, I'll be out there as much as I can manage and maybe even get some decent snaps that can be put up on CW.

Nah, he's back by then. As to whether he re-offends, who knows.

For the NSW game you can get a bargain if you visit the Museum of Sydney (before 8th Nov) to see the ashes, the SCG seat is sold for $10 I think

That's exactly what I did last weekend

Might be going on Tuesday or Wednesday depending on what i've got on.

 

[age_master]

Apparently England have now agreed to use just the standard XI players for the match against South Australia. Consequently, the match has now been upgraded to a FC fixture.

That doesn't surprise me, England usually play there likely starting XI for the last tour match before the 1st Test. They will have enough time to give squad players a run in the PM and NSW game.
