why not tho? Lyon will be with Aus, SOK will probably retire soon (or go to rehab), Somerville moved to NZ and Nair is a chucker. Seems he'd have as good a chance in NSW as anywhere else.

Dan Fallins is there too though

Dan Fallins is there too though

Not exactly a huge hurdle

 

[brockley]

I.d back him against Agár.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Yeah but Agar doesn't even lift

Pucovski's mantra this season : "You're definitely going to get hit again".

Could be an interesting season for young Vics. Pucovski, Harvey, Merlo , Sutherland, O'Connell, Evans, Crone

It felt so inevitable.

Even 12 months ago calling Finch up wouldn't have been that nuts.

 

[Spikey]

will he be the first Arun to play test cricket

 

[SeamUp]

He will bring the bunt down the ground back in fashion in test cricket.

Pakistan finger spinners delight.

Doggett's figures are mind-bendingly bad. 15 overs for 101 runs and 1 wicket. In comparison Tremain has 3/34 in 16.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Renshaw
Khawaja
Maxwell
SMarsh
Finch
MMarsh
Paine
Agar
Starc
Lyon
Holland

another quick will probably play instead of a spinner but unless Cummins, Haze or Patto are back then they won't be any good anyway

 

[Starfighter]

I think we'd be crazy to go in with three spinners and only one pace bowler, considering how fragile MMarsh is and that the really low-bouncing surfaces aren't Lyon's cup of tea.

I like Doggett, but that is certainly below par. Seems like he somewhat overdid it with the short ball.

Depends on the wickets, but from what I've heard they will be very spin-friendly. And not great for quicks.

Normally I'd think 3 spinners would be stupid (4 if you include Maxwell, and/or 5 if Head plays too) but looking at the quicks in the squad makes me think it's preferable. If we had Haze and Cummo along with Starc I'd be playing all 3 quicks (maybe not Haze) but when your second quick is going to be Sayers or Jhye Richardson . . . I'd prefer the 3 spinners tbh. At least Agar provides a bit of batting depth as well.

I'm not saying that I think they will play 3 spinners, just that it would be my preference

 

[TheJediBrah]

Oh and I'm going to be pissed off if Head plays and either of Finch or Maxwell miss out.

 

[Starfighter]

So you don't think Tremain is a chance of making the team?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

My team prediction:

1. Renshaw
2. Khawaja
3. S Marsh
4. Finch
5. Head
6. M Marsh
7. Paine (C) (WK)
8. Starc
9. Tremain
10. Lyon
11. Holland

Maxwell
J Richardson
Agar
Swepson
