[Miller is a Steele]

The Root/Brook partnership was the 4th highest in test history if this source is correct. The highest Australian partnership is 451 between Ponsford and Bradman in 1934, 3 short!

ENG 823/7 d
PAK 556 & 152/6 (37)

Day 4: Stumps - Pakistan trail by 115 runs

 

[Herbie66]

Maxwell and Sutherland named in the Victoria 2nd XI side to play Queensland starting on Monday.

 

[Herbie66]

Shield century for Webster

And Bradley Hope

+ Carey today & McSweeney , centuries galore

 

[Ironhawk]

Pakistan the first team to lose a match by an innings plus after scoring over 500 in their first innings.

Crazy result really.

Pakistan = crazy result a bit too often when it comes to cricket!

 

[Herbie66]

still no sign of Shami

Travelling reserves: Har**** Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mayank Yadav and Prasidh Krishna

Interestingly they have nominated a VC again , been some whispers that Rohit may miss the opening Test(s) of the BGT

 

[Herbie66]

going through the Shield scorecards

Khawaja 31 & 64*
Smith DNP
Labuschagne 77 & 35* + 2/5 (6.2) was bowling seam up
Green DNP
Head 30 , 10
Marsh 13 & 94 , as reported beforehand didn't bowl due to building his red ball load up
Carey 90 , 111

Lyon 5/47 & 3/94

Next in line

Bancroft 0 , 0
Hardie DNP
Harris 143 , 52
McSweeney 55 , 127 *
Renshaw 6 , 15
Webster 113 , DNB + 1/53 & 0/3

Inglis 122 , 48

Couple I am tracking

Clayton 85 , DNB
Davies 37 , 36

The hype is building

Konstas 152 , 105

Interestingly if Smudge opens in the next game , does Konstas (or Maddinson) get dropped

Round 2 is October 20-23

Talk that Green might be going in for surgery so do the selectors move Smudge back to 4 and bring in a opener or go the allrounder in Hardie/Webster (not sure I would be relying on Bison giving to many overs given he pulled up sore and missed the 5th ODI after bowling 4 overs)

Interesting few weeks ahead

And apparently the series in Sri Lanka and the Champions Trophy (via 7 Cricket).

And apparently the series in Sri Lanka and the Champions Trophy (via 7 Cricket).

Hopefully they just move Smith back to 4 and bring in a opener to replace him.

They seem fixated though with his (and Marsh's) overs , if Cummins , Hazlewood , Lyon & Starc do their job how many overs from a 5th bowler do they need ?

Head , Labuschagne , Marsh (not sure his body is going to be trustworthy though) surely can give them 10 - 20.

Could go left field and bring in Neser and move Carey to 6 short term.

Leave Smith opening and bring in Webster (or Hardie) and move Head to 4.

 

[Herbie66]

ODI Squad v Pakistan is :-

Potts & Stokes replace Atkinson & Woakes for the 2nd Test.

BPL Draft was held today , quick look can't see anyone picked up who has a BBL contract (might affect them being replacement players though)

Obviously Hossain was picked.

Tom O'Connell the only Australian player picked
