1st Test: Australia v Pakistan at Gabba, Nov 21-25 2019

[TheParraboy]

Test cricket almost with us, finally

Pakis got two warm up matches across the other side of the country
I guess when you add the two together it is equal to a 5 day test

11/11 Aust A v Pakistan D/N Perth (3 day match)
15/11 CA XI v Pakistan Perth (2 day match)


I think Harris and Warner will open
Wade will be there
Pucovski or Head for the no 5 spot for mine

 

[hineyrulz]

I’ll be there on day 2.

I’ll be there on day 2.

Hope it's not over by then

I’m only there to watch the Admiral.

Latest on the Australia A game - Nic Maddinson out with mental health issues.

Cameron Bancroft gets another God given right to play.

Pakistan with a few teenage* fast bowlers in their squad.

* May actually be in their mid thirties.

 

[Twizzle]

at last, real cricket

 

[Briza]

Selectors probably won't agree, but I'd go with

David Warner
Marcus Harris
Marnus Labuschagne
Steve Smith
Will Pucovski
Travis Head
Tim Paine (c)
Pat Cummins
Mitchell Starc
Josh Hazlewood
Nathan Lyon

James Pattinson

Harris is a nuffy. Burns deserves the first crack.

Harris is a nuffy. Burns deserves the first crack.

Absolutely. Harris sucks.

 

[hineyrulz]

Harris defends with an angled bat, he's no hope if he keeps playing that way.

But compared to Plodcroft he's a batting marvel.

Bancroft and Burns do the same thing you'd think that would be sorted out before playing test cricket.

Anyone willing to bet Warner's woes v left arm might continue against Amir?

Imagine if he has to open during the evening session in Adelaide.

That would be really remarkable as not even in the squad

retired from test cricket in July

Wtf!! retirement at 27?

 

[Bazal]

Wtf!! retirement at 27?

Due to injuries/fitness they reckon. Apparently he can't cope with a Test workload any more

Horrendous fielder

 

[blaza88z]

Just read about Amir, that's a shame, he was their best quick by a mile last time they toured and that was when he was just off the ban

Babar gets to his 100

 

[Bazal]

Babar gets to his 100

f**k he's looked good.

Asad Shafiq looking likely too
