We just can not get rid of him. He probably wont even face 76 balls in the first test
Currently Marnus feels levels above any cricket below test level, but canât quite cut the big leagues for whatever reason. Feels like itâs gotta be in the head.
Ashes tickets secured for the Edgbaston testâŚnow just need to hope the game even reaches day 4.
Green out of the first test with an abdominal strain.
Starts to find some form as a test bat, gets injured. Bugger.
Death, taxes and Cameron Green getting injured after seemingly hitting some form.
Basically his career in a nut shell.
Injured, poor to average, poor to average, ok this is more like it, injured, poor to average, poor to average, ok this could be his moment, injured.
McSweeney made 123 and took a wicket in Australia Aâs big ODI win over India A.
Perhaps equally as encouraging was Mahli Beardman ripping through their top order and snagging 4/23.
We need guys like him and his cohort staying fit and stacking up performances like, NOW.
The old guard canât have too much longer left.
Absolutely.
And then have George Bailey tell him he can bowl only 6 overs a match.
Sutherland did alright too
Shield pitches meant to be better this season.
Vicâs all out 244, SA 1-4 Weatherald 0.
Australian batting depth is dire.
Except for the 2 blokes who look like absolute park cricketers ![]()
South Australia did okay on the same pitch.
Has Usman gone nuclear on the sandpaper â â â â in his book on the eve of the South African series?
Whats he said?
Not sure about nuclear but itâs the opportune time to drop a book and say that he wanted the entire team to take the fall rather than individuals.
Rabada ruled out of the first Test but will probably be right for the second one.
Saffies pick two spinners.
The tourists will wait to see how dry the pitch is on Friday before announcing their side at the toss, with Connolly and Nic Maddinson in contention to come in for Green.
Connolly has not played a Test since his debut against Sri Lanka last February, while Maddinsonâs last appearance came way back in December 2016.
One potential option would be for that to come at the expense of Beau Webster, who batted at number seven in the recent Test series against Bangladesh.
