The pinnacle of any young Australian's career is playing at bristol...not. Might even get down to watch it.

Interesting that this tour runs at the same time as the champions trophy. presumably some of the test squad may be in this a squad if they aren't selected for the champions trophy. The glos game ends 2 days before the senior tour's first ashes warmup against somerset.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Does the A tour overlap any of the Ashes tour games?

[Crazy Sam]

That points to a rather disappointing Ashes squad to be selected.

 

[Jarquis]

So Ponting and the two Husseys gone.

No Smith, Henriques or Bird which is a bit surprising. Khawaja really does have a lot of hard work to do.

 

[uvelocity]

bad haddin and johnson surprising

 

[stephen]

I can't believe that Faulkner was included and not Bird. CA selection committee really aren't very good.

 

[Spark]

no bird?!

 

[Andre]

Based on a formula of likelihood to play the 3 formats. Bird likely squad member in tests - not a walk up start mind you - but not likely to figure in shorter formats any time soon, hence the low ranking.

 

[brockley]

Tassie the real winners,they forgot what Steve Smith just did in India.Inverarity said Smith may not tour England.
Tassie contracts,
Silk,Cosgrove,Cowan (CA)Ponting,Doolan,Bailey (CA),Wells,Paine,Dunk,Faulkner(CA),Gulbris,Butterworth,Doherty(CA)Allanby,Hilfenhaus (CA),Bird,Vandergurten,Fekete.
Tasmania defintely got room to buy players,maybe even buy another premiership.

+ also didn't play much cricket for aus in the last 12 months, which is a factor. no surprise. cowan sorta a precedent here.

Yeah, think that's about right.

Best way back for Usman is ODI's, I reckon.

 

[benchmark00]

Nothing to see here.

 

[NUFAN]

Six batsman in a squad of 20 and one of them does not have Test experience so its almost certain that the next time we play a Test someone from outside the squad will play, which makes the whole contracts list quite frustrating.
