India v Australia, 5xODIs + 3xT20s, 17 September - 13 October, 2017

Geez, 8 games of clown cricket in just under a month to lead into the Aus Domestic Season and Ashes.

Tour to Bannieville kicks of with 50 over game v Board President's XI tomorrow.

I presume Fox will cover this. The only good thing is that it will be prime time.

Cheers Nath.

In the warmup game, Aust 4/164 after 30 overs. Warner 64, Smith 55, Cartwright 0.

5/279 after 45. Head 65, No show 14, Stoinis 59 n.o.

In the Bannie warm-up game, we got a fairish start lead by GCS and Tweek, before Job and Stain finished well to get us to 347.

Then Agar went to work to take a 4-fer to stifle the Board's XI's response.

NSP Form Guide:

Donkey - 0 and did not bowl
Stain - 76 with 5 zacks

Donkey a lock.

btw, good to see the Fork have a bowl. I heard him interviewed by Chuckles last week and he talked about how he was injury free for the first time in ages and had been able to have a big pre-season building his fitness. he sounded very happy and confident.

Aye, h. Fork still has some gas in his legs for Aus ODIs.

I think it is a pity his potential as a batsman in the long form of the game has not been realised. It is a great pity that injury and possibly the malevolent influence of Dan aint the Man have conspired to cruel this guys career. Any coach other than Marsh would have given him an extended go and encouragement in the middle order.

The Fork always bring fierce competition and the temperament to get the best from his abilities.

It might also have helped if he wasn't a piss artist.

Has apparently addressed that issue.

Having Dan aint the Man as a coach would have driven a rechabite to drink.

Just as having Mick the Dick A as coach would have deterred even a very conscientious student to eschew homework.

Scored a good ton in the Shield last season.

we're playing for the ZFG (Zero F*cks Given) Cup right?

Looks like Finch has crocked himself before the series has even started. They are talking about using Cartwright FFS!! or possibly Head as a fill in.

You might hit a bonanza with Cartwright.

I reckon you could bet the farm on him.

Shikhar Dhawan has now been ruled out for family reasons.

could always use Wade. He has opened before.

The Stain could open. Has batted at 3 for much of his career.

Weed - 0 as opener v 0 as no. 7 - what's the difference?

Handscomb has been called into the squad, since Finch is injured

Silly decision. Sneaky Pete is a long form cricketer.

Looks like Cartwright is in India to bat first
