Stannie As did not play a specialist spinner. Still useful batting practice. Michelle to Holland. Possible he could be selected ahead of Agar.

Holland defo deserves to be in in front of Agar. And will be, you'd expect.

Australia XI for first Test: Tim Paine (c), Aaron Finch, Usman Khawaja, Shaun Marsh, Mitch Marsh, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Starc, Peter Siddle, Nathan Lyon, Jon Holland.

Pakistan to win by an innings.

Ye Gods. TAYPOC.

IS starc the only player who would have made one of the 1993 to 2007 sides?

Starc has more Test sixes than anyone else on either side Laughing

Winter really is coming for Aussie cricket...

Who’s going to open with Finch? Khawaja? Paine? Someone else?

Pakistan win the toss & bat

by skully Sun Oct 07, 2018 5:28 pm

What a surprise. A blancmange wicket.

Long 2 days ahead for Aus.

by skully Sun Oct 07, 2018 7:53 pm

The wicket is deader than the deadest of dead things.

by Red Sun Oct 07, 2018 8:20 pm

Moribund surface.

Warner must be pissed off on missing out.

by horace Sun Oct 07, 2018 8:33 pm

Looking forward to this. Stan's are 0-134

by horace Sun Oct 07, 2018 8:40 pm

Now Marsh stuffs up an easy chance.

Elmer breaks the 200 run opening stand after 2 wicketless sessions.

by horace Mon Oct 08, 2018 12:31 am

Holland gets a wicket. Good third session.

Turning point could have been the devestating spell from Mere. Yes it was only one over and he went for five but it showed a masterstroke from cbnlg and Paine. The Stannies clearly wet the bed. Just know the cons had him in reserve clearly unsettled them.

In another tactical masterstroke cbnlg is batting at 4. Now he no longer has the worst record in Test history as a number 6,: he now has a chance to establish himself as the worst number 4 in history.

500 total still very much on the cards.

Before we are rolled for 168 and 153.

Sounds about right.

Have put a Pineapple on it.

by skully Mon Oct 08, 2018 7:01 pm

The two current batsmen look pretty impassable.

by horace Tue Oct 09, 2018 7:54 am

We did well to keep them under 500. Typical honest effort from SIDS. Good we did not lose a wicket.

by skully Tue Oct 09, 2018 8:21 am

Ditto from me, h.

by JGK Tue Oct 09, 2018 12:27 pm

Shah will go through us today.
