3rd Test: India v Australia at Ranchi on Mar 16-20, 2017

[AlwaysGreen]

Most of us outside those two countries just see two bad guys

Again, who are most of us JJ?

Or is this just your opinion?
If so most of us don't give a backhand lob about your opinion.

It said "outside the two countries" - my opinion of course, but this is a forum or don't you get most cricket fans respect Australia and to a lesser extent India for their ability to produce great cricketers - but the additional stuff is bizarre - and if you don't give a backhand lob, then just let it sail long

 

[Timbo]

Just read on Cricinfo that the #6 slot is apparently down to Stoinis or Maxwell. Khawaja not even in the running.

These guys are completely f**ked in the head.

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

wow.... just... wow.....

 

[typicalfan]

Smith wouldnt bowl Maxwell in the ODIs why would they bowl him now?

 

[Twizzle]

he doesn't even bat at 6 for Victoria

like I said the other day, listening to Hohns it sounds like Stoinis is going straight into the team

 

[BestHookerFarrah]

You're right, he bats even higher, been batting at 3 above Finch and White.

 

[vvvrulz]

Gotta be something behind the scenes keeping Khawaja out, it's the only explanation.

he bitched about having to bat below Wade

Hohns and Chappell are Completely off with the pixies, I'd throw Lehman in there as well. Our batting has been our weakness so let's pick another ploddy all rounder who can't score runs to save yourself.

 

[jargan83]

Stoinis or Maxwell? Stoinis with his mighty average of 14 and Maxwell who will play a couple of shots before throwing it away with a ramp shot.

The selectors have lost their minds.

 

[TheParraboy]

Im sure Boof and the selectors will analyse the conditions and wicket before the toss, but more importantly look into the net form of all the contenders for the no6 spot and pick the person that give the side the best balance and cohesion...

 

[The Mad Hatter]

My side for 3rd Test:

Warner
S Marsh
Smith
Dean Jones
Stoinis
Maxwell
Wade
Agar
Swepson
SOK
Lyon

It's totes different. Completely unexpected. Will catch India unawares.

 

[Hutty1986]

Have lost a fair bit of interest in this series after the aussies capitulation last test and the selectors somehow reaching epic new levels of stupidity. Cummins getting picked after no tests for nearly 6 years...wow.

 

[Timbo]

Next: Boof and Hohns announce that they're both bowling really well in the nets and include themselves for the third test.

Have you lost a bit of interest in the dragqueens too?

 

[lockyno1]

Maxwell or Agar should be at 6. Stoinis meh but it couldn't be worse than Mitch Marsh at the least

 

[Twizzle]

How many overs has Starc actually bowled in these 2 tests ?

Cummins workload will not be that great compared to that of playing in another country. If its a slow low turner like most pitches over there, he'll probabaly bowl 5-10 over a day, certainly no more than 15. He'll probabaly bowl more than that in the nets.

At what point do selectors get investigated for match fixing?

 

[Bazal]

At what point do selectors get investigated for match fixing?

I think they would have had to have demonstrated competence in the past, with a sudden loss of said competence. So we're sweet, ours have never once been competent.
