I remember the series if only because I was extreme forumming from Port Moresby and got my only legitimate binning from the ABC site.

Fark that is an ordinary looking squad. WTF??? Puddle, NoShow, SOK?? Plus Ooze can't play spin (nor can most of the top order). Bannies will be giggling.

Ooze for the arse?

"USMAN Khawaja looks set to become the victim of selectors’ hotly contentious plan to reinstall Shaun Marsh as Australia’s Indian linchpin.

The horses for courses push to bring back Marsh started way back in January, when coach Darren Lehmann hinted that opener Matt Renshaw wasn’t necessarily safe at the top of the order, despite his massive maiden century at the SCG.

However, as it stands it would appear Khawaja is the man on the ropes as the decks are cleared for Marsh, who has a strong track record in subcontinental conditions.

Left out of Australia’s tour match today against an Indian A side, Khawaja may now be relying on injury or an epic fail from one of the top order to save his No. 3 spot for the first Test in Pune next week.
...
Captain Steve Smith is set to assume the No. 3 position for the tour game against Australia A, with Marsh at 4, Peter Handscomb 5 and all-rounder Mitchell Marsh at 6."

FFS - so we are resuming the ridiculous failed Puddle experiment again???? FMD.

The NSP dont help Puddle

Its not like he has done anything since he was dropped

(maybe 1 or 2 Babel innings ...straw clutching at it's finest)

I'd rather have Noshow or Koaja

Aye. It's ridiculous that they only chose 6 batsmen, but then to not use one is suicide.

Nadeem will likely be the biggest threat. Was in good form towards the end of the Ranji trophy. Mukund could've had a go. But no...

I think you can safely look forward to the normal one-sided hammering the Bannies will give Aus, t.

Oz just so deserve to be flogged.....farking bog and mere.

Doomed I say, doomed.

Seriously you wouldn't read about it. It may just be the most important tour match in history and they're not at least given kwaka the chance to fail.
