I know you and us all were looking forward to the Hulk Stoinis playing!

Thank the lord!

Glad Stoinis isn’t playing, but disappointed he’s in the mix at all. This all rounder obsession has been such a curse. All started after the 2005 Ashes.

Confirmed unchanged team

Its all Freddie Flintoffs fault.

So with Dave Wanker's return seemingly locked in it becomes a bit of a bat off between Burns and Harris to see who gets the pleasure of opening with him.

Same with Head, Patterson and Khawaja - score big here and it'll go along way to staying in the line up when Smith returns.

If Khawaja continues to bat like a space cadet and Burns does a good job, we might end up with Burns at 3.

Burns can bat anywhere. One of the many reasons it was so weird they took so long to get him in the side this summer.

If we this test we win the summer tests 3-2

I really love these cricket threads and live discussions. No weiners deadshit or IBM nonsense. Good enjoyable cricket talk.

I'm actually quite looking forward to this test. Still wish it had been a 3 test series TBH.

Talk is the pitch is looking a bit slower than usual. Which is a shame if true, they usually do quite a good job at Manuka but you can't control the weather.

 

[benched tiger]

Dry wickets ffs don’t they know how to turn a hose tap on to water the pitch.

Doesn't do an awful lot when it's 35+ for the whole month...

Classic Canberra. Overcast as balls and 13 degrees at the moment.

Might swing around if the weather stays the same for the first session or two
