Australia v India - post 2nd Test discussion, we're all doomed? Maybe not.

[Voice of the G]

no play in Canberra. apparently 50 over match tomorrow (weather permitting)

Renshaw fails again on day 2 before rain comes again.

The more I see of Konstas, the more I think he will be in the Test team sooner rather than later.

Next cab off the rank if he can make some runs. I reckon Harris and Bancroft have had their papers stamped. Renshaw probably in the same boat although he's a bit younger.

Biggest problem for Harris is his age,need younger guys in the team and Konstas is the future but we have to be careful we do not bring him in to early.

I think we will need to risk him given the lack of options. He just needs to be backed in and given 2 seasons.

Konstas for Marnus is a no brainer if he has a shit Adelaide test.

 

[Voice of the G]

Is this a 50 over game because of the washout yesterday?

 

[Freo Big Fella]

More jobs for the lads.

The more I see of Konstas the more I like.

Good to see someone coming out and finally calling out CA and all of their BS.

 

[Kuuz]

Konstas playing a great aggressive knock so far. Seems to be brimming with confidence which is good to see

 

[Soups]

Clayton definitely one to keep an eye on a couple years down the track.

 

[Bedi]

Konstas pulling out the party tricks now

 

[Badesumofu]

No fielding or bowling restrictions and he is doing this to the Indian bowlers. Get him in

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Honestly just play him and get rid of Marnus

 

[Bedi]

Will be tempting.

Marnus better score in the second test otherwise they make the call imo

Selectors stated we'll be sticking with the same squad as Perth, all while alluding to changes. I assume they were referring to Marsh and Hazlewood, but otherwise could see Inglis come in for Marnus

Edit. actually wouldn't be Marsh as they've named Webster as his replacement who was not in the Perth squad.

 

[Torz]

Davies’ technique is always going to be a question mark.

Trying to hit a middle peg Yorker through mid wicket second ball has a limited shelf life as a shot.

 

[Borisdog]

Sarfaraz is even rounder than I thought he was!!!!

He’s not built for quick singles.

 

[Bedi]

Edward guided that to the fielder like it was catching practice

Drop Marnus, play Marsh as a specialist bat and bring in Webster as the next best batter in the country, who can also bowl.

Khawaja, McSweeney, Smith, Head, Marsh, Webster, Carey, Cummins, Lyon, Starc, Boland

It's a bog-average side but you do the best you can under the circumstances.

Konstas can wait another year or two, and I won't change my mind on that.
