[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

There's another Australia A game vs India tomorrow, at the MCG. Four day game.

McSweeney is going to open the batting apparently.

Australia A XI for MCG tour match: Nathan McSweeney (c), Marcus Harris, Cameron Bancroft, Sam Konstas, Ollie Davies, Beau Webster, Jimmy Peirson (wk), Michael Neser, Nathan McAndrew, Scott Boland, Corey Rocchiccioli

Anything half reasonable will get him a cap. Australia is really short in any sort of quality here.

Got to say that Fox have put together a pretty good crew of commentators. Out of the 20 below the only ones I really don't like are Warner and Brett Lee (and Lee isn't offensive or anything, just a bit of a nothing burger)

Standouts: Isa Guha, Michael Vaughan, Harsha Bhogle, Ravi Shastri, Kerry O'Keeffe, Usman Khawaja

Of the non-players, I actually like Mark Howard (I know some don't) and Kath Loughnan is as good as any with on ground interviews

If Fox could get Ricky Ponting it would be complete.

Usman Khawaja will be the next Richie Benaud once he finishes playing imho. Speaks brilliantly, has opinions, highly intelligent.

yeah this is a great lineup with Warner sticking out like a sore thumb.

Loved Mark Waugh as a player but his commentary - I don't feel like my life will be worse off without it.

India out for 161, Mcopener and Harris in

Harris does my head in playing nothing shots to balls in the corridor that he should leave alone but only does half the time

India A scored a lot more than they should have, considering they were 4/11 at one point.

Mcopener falls for maybe 15, hung his bat outside off when he'd been leaving everything alone

God damn it, Harris very lucky not to be out four times before McSweeney gets out
