The fact Handscomb is even in the conversation for the test team makes me ill.

Couldnt agree more!

ZERO Chance he's selected unless we're sending the Australia C side

2nd Test

Day 1 Stumps

Afghanistan 157
Zimbabwe 6/0

 

[7/11]

Apparently he can play spin?

Apparently no one else in Australia can play spin...

He is strong against spin, but he isn’t the answer. If they’re planning to open with Head over there, give mcsweeney a go in the middle order where he’s actually got experience!

Reminds me of Stanlake going 0/50 in the BBL every game and then straight into the IT20 team somehow.

Think they've gotta go back to basics: who are the best six batters in the country?

Maybe outside of Khawaja I feel like they've landed there now. With McSweeney behind that group - and consistent talk around Maxwell for this tour for some time - it doesn't seem like there should be room at the inn for a Handscomb type...

In Australia or Sri Lanka though 😉

Bailey has been talking about Handscomb still being in the mix for months so it shouldn't be a complete surprise.

Khawaja / Konstas
Head (or Maxwell) 😱
Labuschagne
Smith
Handscomb (?)
Webster
Carey

I hope they go real rogue and play Starc & 3 specialist spinners

Hopefully they announce the Squad soon after the completion of the Sydney Test

Inglis and Matt Short both before Hanscomb
Cam Green (if ever fit again) before Hanscomb
Harry Dixon before Renshaw before Hanscomb
Renshaw before Hanscomb
Moises before Hanscomb (moises should never be considered either)
Bob Hawke before Hanscomb 😆

Such a fantastic reply 🤗

Why respond if you can't be serious

Inglis in the other one they have been talking up.

Inglis in the other one they have been talking up.

Is he going to be fit in time ? Haven't seen the latest update

If you can't read the first four lines / Suggestions/opinions as serious and then a little humour (note the 😆) then I'd suggest you need to lighten up, take a walk in the sunshine

No problem

Welcome to the club

It's Handscomb btw

I guess we wait for the Squad to be announced

 

[Ironhawk]

Gill wasting time hoping for one less over before lunch gets himself out. Probably should have just played it out and backed himself.

Ideally they would hold off on lunch/tea breaks until the full amount of overs have been bowled in a session and it won't be an issue.

Handscomb a strong chance for a Test recall on Sri Lanka tour https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/...e-for-a-test-recall-on-sri-lanka-tour-1467521

Kuhnemann and Murphy mentioned in the article as to be joining in Sydney

Boland on a hatrick!
