Good side didnt expect Hazlewood to get a run so soon after injury...

 

[IanG]

Perhaps we should play that team in the 5th Test. Can't do any worse

 

[TheParraboy]

This side is hopefully picked as a trial game selection for the upcoming 7 ODIs vs the poms, and then from there a selection place in the world cup squad

Good to see Brett Lee there. I know he wants to be back in the ODI side. I think we will need a fit and in form Lee to retain the world cup. Hopefully Hazlewood can progress nicely as well

 

[DragonPunk]

Hazlewood is out, replaced by Copeland and James Pattinson to replace someone else I think Starc?

Hazelwood gone for the season....

 

[Twizzle]

the season only has 2 months to go, he needs to get that back right

get him in the pool

 

[Bazal]

Oh awesome....well, not awesome, sucks for Josh but I get to see Copeland run around in the flesh now...

 

[Titanic]

A team of ex-Prime Ministers would go better than the current mob :-(

 

[beads6]

Cricket Australia are doing the same type of thing they did with Clarke to Paine now. It won't work players need to earn there spot in the side and the captaincy FFS. DISASTER

 

[aussies1st]

Probably not the best format to see Copeland but hopefully the ground has the speed gun going to see how he goes pace wise.

 

[DragonPunk]

Solid start by Khawaja and Paine, 0/35 after 7.

 

[beads6]

Yeah, Paine is a class act in the shorter forms of the game but needs to convert 50's in the first class arena IMO.

 

[skeepe]

Khawaja gone for 22. Paine brings up his 50 from 55 balls.

Match has been shortened to 44 overs a side due to rain.

:lol: How good was that??? Kasper behind he was having a laugh.

 

[beads6]

Ferguson batting slow and Keath just out LBW to Yardy... 3/108

 

[aussies1st]

Solid enough from Paine, would have no problem with him in the ODI side if hes playing like that. There have been times where he bats too slow.

 

[eagles4eva]

Rain delay

Who was that Hugh Grant-like stuttering motherf**ker commentating? Painful.
