3rd Test: Australia v West Indies at Sydney on Jan 3-7, 2016

[TheParraboy]

Talk of possibly resting Hazlewood for this test, though be a bit weird as its his home ground.

I wonder if this will be Peter Siddles last test match? Just got a feeling he may retire, only a hunch

Heard Shane Warne say they should bring in Agar for this test?

Didn't they say he had a foot injury? SOK in for Siddle I read.

Some other nuffy in for hazlewood to rest him.

The squad was announced yesterday, Boland on standby for Sids and SOK added to the squad and is expected to play, although I really cant remember when Sydney was last classed as a turner, hasn't been for years now.

Haze is apparently sore but plenty of time to rest up and Sids has a foot injury and most likely wont play.

Hope O'Keefe gets a second test bowling average of 25 for a slow bowler is very impressive.

 

[Timbo]

Looks like SOK is going to play, good stuff.

When was the last SCG test necessitating 2 spinners?

Will be there Day 1, and Day 4 (hopefully) with the Milo kids on at lunch.

 

[Twizzle]

SOK into the 11 Sids out officially

Siddle's is probably similar?

Siddle's is probably similar?

28

I wonder what Siddles average would be if we just considered his slow years.

 

[lockyno1]

Siddle is terrible so in happy SOK is getting another chance

 

[Pete Cash]

Anyone at the game today. It's disgustingly humid at the moment. Stupid Sydney weather

From Sportsbet's FB page

West Indies have won the toss and elected to lose

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Hope's been thrown in the deep end here. 22 year old wicketkeeper with a FC average of under 30 (test average of 16) chucked into open.

Good luck to him.

I'd like to have seen one of the young leg spinners get a run today instead of O'Keefe. If there was ever a series to experiment this is the one. I am guessing O'Keefe already has the CA contract though so they were always going to pick him when they picked a second spinner.

 

[typicalfan]

O'Keefe deserves the opportunity imo. He is in the top two spin bowlers in Australia.

Great ball Hazlewood.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Shai out for a quiney. A shainey.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Muggy as at The G.

Nice crowd in.

Sat near the Lyon fan squad.

Lyon bowling to the Windies like they're a herd of zebra.
