I hope that when he was out injured, Khawaja bought a book on how to play spin bowling, because he had no idea when last played test cricket & he is going to a country that will have 3 or 4 spinners in the team. He performed well for Australia A in India recently so perhaps he has improved in that department. Could be a confidence thing too.

Fekete is 30. It's not as if he's a young 'un for the future.

Bronnie has short legs and needs a job

So Aus are reduced to picking specialist fielders.

by horace Thu 17 Sep 2015, 07:14

well Bronnie is a rather special case!

Former India international Sridharan Sriram joins Australia's coaching ranks to help inexperienced squad on Bangladesh tour

Australia have called on a secret weapon to help end their spin woes on next month's tour of Bangladesh, enlisting the services of former India allrounder Sridharan Sriram as a coaching consultant.

Sriram, who currently coaches in the Indian Premier League, shared his subcontinent expertise during Australia A’s tour of India in July and August and will be used again for next month’s two-match Qantas Test tour of Bangladesh.

Fork in ....Cummins out

Surely Cummins isn't injured?

Whodathunkit?

Gosh, nobody could have anticipated that.

I do feel sorry for the young man but I suspect he isn't made for fast bowling. The Shield final in Hobart a few years ago (2010-2011) bloody nearly killed him, and I don't really think he has recovered from that. I believe he has played just one FC game since that time - and that was his one and only Test.

How long before horrie blames Katich for an extremely premature end to Cummins's career?

by lardbucket Thu 24 Sep 2015, 08:26

I think he's already drawn that conclusion.

I was at the game, and both Cummins and Copeland were flogged to the point of exhaustion.

Nick Kruger...there's a name i had forgotten about. Is he still playing anywhere?

by lardbucket Thu 24 Sep 2015, 09:35

Nah, finished.

tour may be off ... security concerns

Really? The newbies will be spewing, what with a Baggy Green laid on and all.

by lardbucket Sat 26 Sep 2015, 23:53

Sutherland has stated that the tour departure is delayed. There's still a possibility it may not go ahead.
