Australia v South Africa, 3rd Test, Adelaide, 24-28 November, 2016

injured his calf

So ... either Travis Dean or Matt Renshaw will debut for Australia in Adelaide. You don't just have to make runs, you have to make them at the right time.

Of the two I think I'd favour Renshaw, though both seem a foil for Warner, as was Chris Rogers. Renshaw has played some tight defensive knocks but he does have the ability to hit out once he's in. Bancroft, Shaun Marsh, and Burns all seem to have missed their opportunity here. Daniel Hughes is the only other obvious opening batting candidate, and I guess he's from NSW ...

Australian teams only seem to have developed a "lack of fight" since he took over.

They might move Uzzi to opener.

Fair call.

Beware oldies!

GCS
Dean/Renshaw/Random dubber
Koaja
Downy
Wank
Blowie
Sharapova ( if random name of backstop with own gloves drawn out of a hat deemed unacceptable selection policy)
Koo
Purple
RDs SOK
Doucheland/Cot

RD's SOK has been just as penetrative as a eunuch a bromide diet Nathan Lyon, so I'm not sure why he'd be picked. Maybe they'll give the gig to Zampa to see whether the Saffies can destroy him like they destroyed McGain because it's his home ground

RDs Sok was the 2nd choice spinner in SL until injured

I didnt think the selectors would want to take too many dubbers out of the team

Ive already got too many vomits so Dutchy or Fuddy or Big Show weren't considered

Fatwad Ahmad isn't even in the Victorian team at the moment ... 12th behind Maxwell and Holland!

WhoTF is Blowie?

(Head)

I see.

vomits are racist though

Embee seems to think Handy is a random wasp. Given the number of wankers in wasp central, I'd suggest you come up with a better nickname.

he might have to move to get a game ... Queensland or Tasmania perhaps

ICC have charged Faf with ball tampering

One match ban seems likely ...

I don't think he has any defence. And he's got prior form ...

Are we talking about Faf or the Australian Top 6?

I note it was a white lolly. Standard issue in yarp pte schools

Complaint was lodged by the ICC, not Cricket Aust apparently.

Should get One match for cheating and five for brazen stoopidity.

Amla looked like a dickhead taking the journo's on in trying to defend him.

True, Rabada must have given it to him.
