"The BCCI now sends official curators to oversee the preparation of wickets"
Not for me.
In order of preference:
Scorchers win BBL - tick
Ashes and a long way third
India.

Winning in India and England are as massive as each other for me.
In a way it's a shame that we have B2B series in those two countries, as it'll be 4 years before I look forward to a tour as much.
On the other hand, if we jag wins on both tours, it'd be epic to have bragging rights over the Poms and Indians for a few years.

I also am yet to reconcile with Cricket Eastern Australia.

Be a huge shame if this approach from India ruins would could be a really closely run and epic series of cricket.
Agree completely.
I'm not inferring there's no talk between our curators and the ACB, but I can only imagine if the ACB sent a rep to a ground to oversee the pitch prep, he'd get told pretty quickly by the head curator to F right off!
Or am I off the mark?

I think that’s also a cultural thing too.

I suspect we'll go down fairly easily in India but we'll secure our place in the test championship. We'll go on to beat India at The Oval. They can have this meaningless, fixed series.

A Test series in India is hardly meaningless.

Compared to the test championship it is. Apart from the Ashes and the championship, the rest are glorified friendlies imo.

Beating India in India is the biggest challenge for Australian cricket. Even when we had arguably the best ever test team (maybe 2nd behind the Windies of the 80’s) we could only do it once
We couldn’t beat them at home last time so to do it away would be phenomenal

Ngl - if you offered me a Test series win in India and the Test Championship on the same plate, I’d choose the former every day of the week.

Interested to see what our bowling attack is with no Starc, Hazlewood or Green.
Cummins
Lyon
Boland
Murphy
Agar or Morris? Think I'd prefer Morris if we go the extra bowler. Agars batting hasn't been good enough to consider him an allrounder lately.
Predicted 11 - Even though I'd like to see Morris bowl I think we go the extra batter as the tail looks pretty fragile with Carey at 6. Handscomb over Renshaw to add another right hander.
