Hazlewood out of the WTC.

Of the three highly rated young quicks (Hazlewood, Pattinson, Cummins) he was the most durable but it seems to be catching up to him now.

Shouldn't have played IPL but money talks.

Shouldn't have played IPL but money talks.

You can't really blame him - he hasn't been offered contracts in the IPL throughout his career despite being an international lock. Had a good season on low money and is trying to cash in before he's done. Those waterfront mansions in Sydney aren't cheap.

Didn't realise how wounded India are before the WTC tomorrow, I'd be really disappointed if we lost it.

Brave India win?

Eskigod out for 0 off 5 deliveries in the vitality blast

Hazelwood out for the Test, Boland in. Blessing in disguise I reckon.

Wish we could have Neser for Cummins too

Starc shouldn't be a starter in England. Middling record there.

Neser in thanks.

He's now part of the squad if I'm not mistaken. Didn't he pick up an injury recently?

Thought I read Neser came into the WTC squad after Hazlewood's injury.

He's the perfect bowler for English conditions and is in great form with bat and ball. We're not going to play him and it'll cost us IMO.

England to win 3-2 (weather permitting) in what will go down as a series for the ages. Great cricket ahead.

We agreed to play Starc to compensate for India losing Bumrah. Have to make things interesting.

I think Neser would be at risk of being Bazballed. He's low 130s and bowls a very full length. His test successes have been with the pink ball, and division 2 of the county championship is far short of test standard. I like the team that's been picked.

England have convinced Moeeb Ali to come out of test retirement. I swear the poor bloke gets carted every Ashes

Torn between wanting Australia to win and knowing an India win would probably be the best thing that could happen for the future of test cricket.

This current team will try to Bazball anyone. They reckon Starc will be the number one target by right handers and there are probably going to be 5 of those the top seven.

Neser seems to be bowling ok in county matches and seems very suited to the conditions. Anderson and Broad bowl very full and in the low to mid 130s (very occasionally near 140) just like Neser. And they do alright in English conditions.

I hate this so much.

But I respect it.

Anyone know whether this is Test Crickets grand final or not?

 

[RookiePick]

Ussie gawnski.

Ball doing a bit which is bad news for our crabsmen

Apparently West Aussies call it the grandy

 

[Truckosaurus]

Nah, we call it a granda

 

[Goroyals22]

Shame the wrong left hander is out

Who are the black armbands/luggage straps for?

Who are the black armbands/luggage straps for?

For those lost in the tragic train accident in India last week.

 

[THE A5]

Bit Pathetic how they’ll have Marnus’s full name but refuse to have Siraj’s or Shami’s full names
