    **Official** South Africa in Australia T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    I don't really see the point of sticking with Marnus for ODI's. He's been handy for sure but hardly dominating. With Smith gone it would have been a good chance to get at least one of Renshaw, McSweeney or J Sangha some exposure as the cake in the lineup (and some international experience as...

    Are babar azam and marnus labuschgane underachievers?

    This for Marnus. Marnus was originally selected when Smith and Warner were banned and averaged 33-35 or so at the time in First Class cricket. From memory a big part of his selection was his part time leg spin for an away tour against Pakistan in the UAE. In 2018 when first selected if you had...

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    JFM making Konstas look good. I don't get why the selectors didn't just keep Konstas for the T20's rather than JFM. He had a fairly decent Big Bash for his limited appearances and his Aus A ton was basically an ODI innings. He'd be much more suited to limited overs at the moment rather than Tests.

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    I know they want to win/dominate but I don't see the point of Aus A not declaring here. With the bowlers selected the main benefit of this series is to try figure out the next best bats so let Sri Lanka bat and try build something to chase in the 4th innings.

    Gillespie only played 14 games in the 90s so didn't really get a huge benefit from that. Gillespie played 29 home tests with 42 away while Haze is 41 home and 35 away. Someone previously mentioned about removing minnows Bangladesh and Zimbabwe from Gillespie and it pushing his average above 27...

    2025–26 Australian Domestic Season

    Definitely, I looked it up just after the last shield season ended and he's averaged under 30 for the past 3 seasons. I thought he had been dropped for the final but it was just the birth of his child. I think he could do better if he dropped down the order like what he's done in limited overs...

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    Nah Gillespie is underrated and was overshadowed by McWarne IMO. Early 2000s he was up there as one of the best pacers in the world (after the retirements of Ambrose, Donald, Akram etc. and probably only behind McGrath and Pollock for a large part of that time). Played on absolute roads most of...

    With Smith retired it would be nice to see some of these guys get a run in the ODI side. Potentially move on from Marnus as well.

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    I don't think there's going to be a mass retirement after the Ashes. Khawaja for sure but Lyon and Smith have previously indicated they want to go on as long as they can. There hasn't been anything recently on it but with Smith's form and Lyon still bowling well I don't see why that would...

    What have we learned from the 1st test?

    That catches win matches.

    AUS line up confirmed for the first test. Khawaja Konstas Green Inglis Head Webster Carey+ Cummins* Starc Lyon Hazlewood Generally what I expected they would go with. They want to give Green a chance to establish himself at 3 long term which makes sense to me given 4 and 5 are locked at the...

    *Official* Australia Tour of West Indies 2025

    I don't get why you would completely blacklist a quality player like Roach (similar to England with Anderson). Sure you may not want to select them for every game to try and build for the future and with Roach I can somewhat understand given his recent injury history (compared to Anderson at...

    Renshaw DROPPED! About time as well. Has averaged under 30 three seasons in a row now (that includes this season). Edit: apparently he's about to have a baby so maybe just missing because of that. Should probably be dropped regardless based on the above.

    If the final is a draw the winner will be chosen by most bonus points in the match.

    Crazy to think how different things could have been from this game. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/sheffield-shield-2024-25-1444468/tasmania-vs-south-australia-18th-match-1444509/full-scorecard
