Cricket Thread: Indian Summer

[Kane McGoodwin]

Same as always. And it turns from day 1. No huge need for more than two seamers as Webster can play the 'Funky' Miller role in opening the bowling then reverting to spin. I reckon they only will play one of Starc or Boland plus three spinners.

Will be one of the selection dilemmas whether to play 1 or 2 quicks. Unless a complete dustbowl, reckon we play 2 & plenty of part-time spin options.

Head, Marnus, McSweeney & Webster can all bowl spin in addition to Lyon & Kuhnemann.
Should be plenty.

1 Head
2 Konstas
3 Labuschagne
4 Smith
5 McSweeney
6 Webster
7 Carey
8 Starc
9 Lyon
10 Kuhnemann
11 Boland

Yeah that would not surprise me. Hoping young Konstas goes well but suspecting Webster might surprise with what looks like a really solid technique. Hopefully he knows how to sweep. As a tall man Matt Hayden made huge runs on turning wickets with that shot. I think Greene got a hundred doing similar

Yeah, Webster's height should help batting to get down to smother the ball.

Important thing is we take in different types of spin options to make the most of the conditions.

It's why I would probably play Lyon in 1 test & Murphy in the other so they can do plenty of the grunt work.

Would like to see Connolly in 1 test too.
