Having spent time in Afghanistan during Ramadan, l can wait. Test cricket there would be a major achievement, not for any political reasons, but simply finding an oval with that much grass on it.
âWhat oâkeefe said was a disgrace and we need to take a stand against him to show our support for female cricketers and oh fark we lost the first test bring him back quick weâll find some other way to make it up to themâ - Aussie selectors
Talk of Handscomb taking the keepers gloves today. I reckon Wade is finished if this happens.
Please be true
What about Alex Carey
50 odd dismissals and 500 runs is a good effort
Wade was finished a long time ago. The state of WK in Aus isnât great if Wade was being considered.
Hot in contention for the Ashes
Wade is playing. Cartwright and oâkeefe in for khawaja and hazelwood
Good start by us
Bangers 2 for 37 off 18
Lyon with both
Trying to think when the last time Australia took three spinners into a test. Is there enough variation between them?
Lyon vs Bangladesh!
LBWs on the subcontinent. The world is going nuts
Lyon picks up his 4th
LBW again
4 for 85
Agar ruins Lyons perfect start
Bangers 5 for 128
Agar messed up Lyonâs 10 LBW quest.
Agar and OâKeefe are left arm orthodox and Lyon right arm orthodox so I guess thatâs some variation but we have a leggiw in the squad (Swepson) but chose a late replacement instead of him. Not sure why but I guess he is touring mainly for the experience.
Agar looks like he should be a lot more awkward than he is.
I know 6â1" isnât ridiculously tall, but he seems to bowl a lot shorter than that.
Those watching⌠whats the pitch like. Seems like everyone gets a start. Is it a 350-400 pitch
Weâre every chance to cop an innings defeatâŚ
Cummins looks stuffed, the selectors are going to run him into the groundâŚ
