Western Australia v England, Perth, November 5-7

I don't think England will play their first test side in this match. Reckon they'll go with-

Strauss (c)
Cook
Bell
Pietersen
Collingwood
Morgan
Davies+
Tremlett
Anderson
Finn
Panesar

I'm pretty sure Pietersen will play every tour game, as will Bell and Cook. Swanny is the type of guy who doesn't need a whole lot of bowling to find his rhythm, whilst Anderson is the opposite.

According to Sky, Jimmy will miss the first game.

Huzzah - real cricket.

A shame that Marsh won't get to play.

Retravision Warriors Tour Match Squad Announced

03/11/2010



The WACA State Match Committee has named a 12-man Retravision Warriors squad for the three-day tour match against England, beginning on Friday at the WACA Ground.

Opening batsmen Liam Davis and Wes Robinson return to the team which took on the West End Redbacks in a Weet-Bix Sheffield Shield encounter last weekend, while experienced paceman Steve Magoffin has also been included and is in line to play his first match for the Warriors this summer after shrugging off the injuries that have delayed his start to the 2010-11 season.

Coming out of the 12 that faced the Redbacks are Mike Hussey, Shaun Marsh and Mitchell Johnson, all of whom are taking part in the three-match Commonwealth Bank Series between Australia and Sri Lanka.

Play gets underway at 10.30am daily (gates open at 9.30am). Regular updates can be heard throug ABC Local Radio and Grandstand Digital, along with 91.3 Sport FM. Log on to cricket.com.au for exclusive vision.

I believe the crazy idea is a web feed of the scoreboard vision. As for if a mere pom can do it, suggest you try in-game.

Is 'mere' some form of rhyming slang?

Does 'mere' rhyme with 'Trev'?

more of a synonym

A 12 man Retrovision squad?

And still no place for Ross Edwards?

FFS, he's out for a duck in the first over as Malfoy jags 2 wickets.

North survived the hattrick ball.

pmsl

JGK - pls reserve your spooky powers for good

why isn't Mitch Marsh playing in this game?

Cookie, start as you mean to go on old bean....

That was nice of WA to declare in order to ensure we get more batting practice.

A little grouch:

Strange choice to send Jimmy in with the torch.

Though he's become quite good at it, blocking out 15 balls pretty much negates the whole idea of a warm-up game, doesn't it?

If there's one time you surely DON'T need to use a N/W, it's when there's nothing in particular resting on it but a bit of egg on the face. Whereas Trott or whoever should have been able to show his resolve with little actually at stake if he failed.

Voges for Brisbane?

At least it shows that they are taking the match seriously, which is an improvement on recent tours.
