3rd Ashes Test: Australia v England @ MCG Dec 26-30, 2021

probably more so cuz Starcs back, Haze is only 50/50 according to whichever media report you want to believe but Cummins definitely back

so... Paddy Haze and Starc look to be certs fitness pending, if not Paddy, Richardson and Neser so why would we be needing Boland ?

I'd guess he might be the bowling concussion sub

yeh, fair call

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Northern Hemisphere Baldamattas might get a draw here, because Melbin can’t produce a test quality pitch.

You never know with covid who you might need in the squad

I assume boland is there purely for the emergency scenario as we saw with cummins in Adelaide weird things can happen quickly outside of your control

Strong endorsement for battling opener

Marcus Harris is “important to the team” and received a strong endorsement from Australian coach Justin Langer as the embattled opener gets one more chance to lock down his Test spot.

www.news.com.au

"But Langer, who has known Harris since he was a teenager coming through the system in Western Australia and coached him in the early part of his domestic career, was adamant he had what it took to thrive at Test level."

Expect the MCG to be a Marcus Harris friendly pitch.

Expect the MCG to be a Marcus Harris friendly pitch.

This might help him.

 

[Bazal]

Expect the MCG to be a Marcus Harris friendly pitch.

And expect Marcus Harris to still nick off for 25 or less

Seriously what a self absorbed merkin. Harris is almost 30, and averages 11 runs less than Renshaw same amount of tests, and almost 20 runs less than Khawaja lol

The sad thing is, poms are broken, and most likely a concrete MCG deck coming

Wether Harris scores runs or gets out cheap ill be pissed either way

Important to the team???? What does he tell a good joke?? Play the piano??? Whip up a mean Soy Latte??? I still think it’s a quality Rim job. Because in 12 tests he’s showed absolutely nothing to show he’s important to the team whatsoever. He’s also shit in the field.

 

[Twizzle]

He's only in the team cuz the soap dodgers are shit.

If we were struggling to win matches we'd be looking to strengthen our batting, or if we'd had lost a game or 2 he would have been dropped

Bottom line, he is shit but the soap dodgers are even shitter

Just a little kick up the bum.

Starcs in by the looks, Haze is Hazey

Starc expected to be fit for Boxing Day but Hazlewood remains unlikely

Starc had twinged his ribs while batting in Adelaide, while Hazlewood's fitness is an unknown as he flies into Melbourne on Thursday

www.espncricinfo.com

Australia coach Justin Langer was confident Starc would be fine for Boxing Day but was unsure about Hazelwood's prospects.

"It's just [Starc's] rib actually," Langer said. "A lot of the bowlers talk about when they come back to Test cricket, bowl more overs, they jam down on that rib area so he should be fine. He's tough.

"If he's not right, then we'll look at it. But at this stage, there's no indication suggesting he won't be playing the next Test. We will wait and see how Josh Hazlewood pulls up, he arrives this afternoon."
