2023 WTC FINAL: Aust v Ind @ The Oval - AUSTRALIA TEST CHAMPIONS

[TheParraboy]

In under 2 weeks it begins..... a warm up match for the ashes

Not sure on Haze, something always going on with him these days. Only bowled 9 overs in the IPL before side issue and boycotting the tournament, Just draft in Nesser and be done with it

Australia confident in Hazlewood's fitness despite side soreness

The fast bowler left the IPL early but has since returned to bowling ahead of the WTC final and Ashes

Good luck with that Tubs

Taylor sees potential for Warner to follow 1997 revival

Former captain believes Warner is capable of turning his struggles around quickly in England

[TheParraboy]

Talk of THead opener for the Ashes for Bazball? assuming if Warner fail in the WTC

The Bison at 5?

If smaller grounds and concrete decks are prepared for poms bazball, make a lot of sense for mine, be carnage. Crawley, Duckett and Pope remind me of Bryant, Harris and Harper

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Warner will play in the WTCF.



If he they're looking for a change it can't be Renshaw, he averages about minus 47 in his last 10 tests.

I still can’t believe they are picking Crawley. Pope is a bit skittish but not a bad player if he gets in. Duckett goes ok. Their top order is their big weakness

hearing from where ? you need to provide a source

btw, you're wrong

BG man was right on the money

 

[Eelectrica]

Neser seems pretty well suited to the English conditions.
I'd take a fit and in form Hazlewood in a second, but at least Neser has been bowling over there for a month or two.

 

[bazza]

I think the bowling depth is enough that you can only take in 100% fit players into each test

 

[Twizzle]

you would imagine Boland goes into the 11 and Nesser comes into the squad

 

[hineyrulz]

I’d push Neser straight into the starting side, he also strengthens our horrible tail.

Here it is. The glorious mace that we should be holding by the end of the week:

Scott Boland has won the final spot in Australia’s fast bowling line up for the World Test Championship, beating out Michael Neser for the final spot.

It comes after Josh Hazlewood was ruled out of the match last week and the Queensland quick was parachuted into the squad.
