Cant see how HoneyBadger35 could get annoyed with the latest updates on the cricket.

Big T20 battle on right now between Italy and Denmark (traditional rivals)
www.espncricinfo.com
Italy just got 141/4 off their 20, with opener Grant Stewart scoring a 50 in what I am sure was another classic Grant Stewart innings
EDIT: Didn't Jade Dernbach play for the Scorchers ? Currently opening the bowling for Italy

Classic nickname
IUCN is on the money.
Problem with the Aus squad is too many of our batters perform best as openers in T20, and we don’t have any specialist finishers
Wade is only good as an opener IMO. Needs pace on the ball early.
Stoinis has never set the world alight in the IPL because he has to bat lower and he takes too long to get going - which is fine when he opens in the BBL.
Warner was dropped from the weakest side in the IPL (which he was captaining). He should be replaced with Stoinis or Wade if they really want to play Wade.

Played his best cricket as a teenager
Here's a not so fun idea, what does our Test team look like in 5 years assuming any player at that point 35 and over is retired or on the verge of retirement?

Maybe something like…
Bryce Street
Will Pucovski*
Marnus Labuschagne
Cameron Green
Travis Head (c)
Josh Philippe
Josh Inglis (+)
Pat Cummins
Jhye Richardson*
Mark Steketee
Mitch Swepson
*injuries notwithstanding
Cummins and Steketee would be near the end of their careers though. Question marks over the fitness of Pucovski and Jhye. Would have liked to fit Tanveer Sangha in but you can’t deny Swepson as the next cab off the rink for the spin department. Also unconvinced by Philippe at 6, but couldn’t think of any alternatives.
Yeah. Bowling looks fine, but gee, when Smudge finishes up, our batting looks a hell of a lot worse. Especially if Pucovski can't sort out his concussion issues.

HoneyBadger35 - your thoughts on Inglis not taking the gloves in the warm-up match?

Pie's gotta sort his shit out before he loses a career.
Likewise, I hate to see a talent lost, but this kid needs to think about the rest of his life rather than a 10-year cricket job.

Fantastic reporting. Put the alleged perp on a pedestal.

I think they're waiting for Langer to get sacked so they can sack Voges and hire JL again.

Hey fiddle diddle, we got ****ed by Siddle!
Voges is hopeless but we have some very average cricketers running out. Branders abound.

I think there's more than enough talent for a half-decent coach to get a tune out of.
Gannon not being selected right now confuses me greatly.

Paris does have a first class ton to his name.
Also... is batting Pie for ages a good thing since he couldn't bowl?
About 3/4 of the side has represented the country in some capacity. Should not be this average
Like the Eagles and All-Australians.

61 overs to chase 216... chase or draw?
Miguel Sanchez
(Unique injury) TBC
You’d chase to start with, wouldn’t you?
If you lose a few early wickets you might shut up shop.
