Two (2) Unofficial Tests: Australia A v India A in Brisbane Sept 2016

[TheParraboy]

The first of 2 four day unofficial tests between these two nations starts today

 

[Twizzle]

I said a while back this Swepson is a playa, as long as they dont f**k him up with T/20 shit and he starts bowling darts, he has a good action and nice flight and drift.

He's got all the toys.

 

[hineyrulz]

The last thing he needs is to play that 20/20 rubbish.

 

[TheParraboy]

Aust A in control

India A all out 230
Aust A 0/25


Hopefully Bancroft, Burns and Dean can post good scores tomorrow

 

[TheParraboy]

The last thing he needs is to play that 20/20 rubbish.

Already has played 2 BBL games last year

Will most likely play more this year

 

[Twizzle]

BBL not so bad as they get well paid and he probabaly wants a slice of the action. 4 wickets in those 2 games too so he's not too shabby.

I was mainly referring to the Aussie team as they tend to bring the younger players in through the T/20 or ODI teams national teams.

 

[TheParraboy]

problem is, if he does well in the bbl, other t20 leagues around the globe are gonna throw decent money at him.might as well play for Australia if good enough

Look at Zampa. Has come through a lot of t20 and now ODIs, and most likely should play test cricket soon, they are both similar age as well

 

[Twizzle]

I think Swepson is a better 4 day bowler where as Zampa is faster through the air and has less drift which suits T/20.

Time will tell if I'm right but I think he'll be a better bowler than Zampa.

 

[TheParraboy]

Aust A need 100 to win today, 6 wickets left

Up to Bancroft to get us home

Not sure what Stoinis is doing in the side, surely we can try better prospects than him?

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Bancroft got us home.

 

[TheParraboy]

word

 

[TheParraboy]

Next "test" starts on the 15th

Nothing new here, but a lot of the Indian A middle order average well over 50 at FC level

Im pretty sure Bancroft was pencilled in to become our next opener, so he may get a gig over the summer if Burns doesn't get going

 

[Twizzle]

I think Burns has too many technical issues to be our long term opener and he is a terrible player of spin.

 

[TheParraboy]

agree

I wouldn't oppose to Seam Marsh being picked for the Indian test series over there. Has never played over there and might actually do well considering he does well in SL.

Hopefully we take 3 spinners over there as well Lyon, Zampa and SOK

 

[Twizzle]

depends how bad SOK's injury is I guess

 

[TheParraboy]

we re even resting players here after one test, bancroft , Swepson and handscombe to name a few not playing

India A all out 169
Aust A 5/319 (we were 2/11)
