Sussex v Australians at Hove Jul 26-28, 2013

[TheParraboy]

I hear it will be the test batting line up but bowlers rested, so Starc , Faulkner, Lyon and Bird will play.

What does it mean if a few of our top order get big scores here? F.A if you ask me, the peasants all got runs in the tour games leading up to the series. Popgun attacks seem to be what we like, unfortunately it doesn't play you into test match form

 

[madunit]

I'd make Watson, Hughes, Warner and Cowan all play.

 

[Twizzle]

no point in Warner playing, his current form would suggest he's no chance

 

[TheParraboy]

Warner currently playing in the unofficial test vs SA , bucklys of playing vs Sussex

 

[BunniesMan]

I'd make Watson, Hughes, Warner and Cowan all play.

Warner isn't even in the country. He's in S.A atm.

Vossy on twitter is saying Watson and Rogers are being "rested".

If true that is f**king ridiculous. So they think Watson doesn't need any extra time in the middle?

Even if they didn't want to bowl him he 100% should be in the game to bat.

 

[TheParraboy]

Maybe Rogers and Watson are rested for the 3rd test as well

@CricketAus 5m Australia XI to play Sussex: Cowan (c) Hughes, Khawaja, Smith, Wade, Faulkner, Agar, Turner, Starc, Lyon, Bird #Ashes #ReturnTheUrn

Very happy that HAH is getting to open. Hopefully its a genuine audition for him to go back to where he belongs, at the top of the order.

Cowan has been made captain? Wtf he isn't even in the test side...

 

[Twizzle]

Turner ?

f**king lol

never even played a first class game in Australia yet, this is his first class debut

 

[Timbo]

Cowan has been made captain? Wtf he isn't even in the test side...

When Clarke was on the verge of missing the SCG test and Watson was injured Cowan was the standby skipper. So not totally silly.

Yeah , but with Steve Smith in the side it should have been him.

Has captaincy experience and was Australia A captain.


And as crazy as it may sound he could just be a future Australian captain .

 

[madunit]

There goes BM's hopes of Hughes being a test captain.

Can't even get a captaincy gig ahead of Cowan lol

 

[BunniesMan]

The fact that its given to someone not even in the Test XI shows how meaningless it is and not too much should be written into it.

Hughes will be the Test VC within the next 12 months.

captaincy is meaningless.

You heard it here first!

 

[Patorick]

Might as well have Boof out there as Captain.

Sussex will probably be resting a bunch of players too.

Sussex will crush us

We f**king suck

Will there be any coverage of this match anywhere or just updates on the net?

BBC will have online radio coverage here:

SkySports in England may be telecasting it (for the clever buzzards around), but I strongly doubt Fox Sports will have any coverage of it beyond the highlights.

Cheers.

Looking forward to seeing how this goes. Hopefully our batsmen get back into the habit of scoring runs.
