Hazlewood ruled out with a side injury.
Doggett and Abbott into the squad. But you’d think Boland plays now.
He really battles to get through home summers in recent years.

It also adds further weight to the absolute ■■■■■ performance of the team in Perth. That second innings has smashed our fast bowlers
This is a significant blow to the Aussies. Arguably our best bowler
Having the team fully fit, conditioned and prepared cricket wise is something the coaches and team management completely cocked up. Their hubris and stupidity means the first test could now cost Australia the series.

Also could work in the favour of selecting SLUG in order to ease the quicks workload a bit as they won’t want to cop any more injuries.

Australia would be insane not to play Boland now. He is almost a carbon copy replica of Hazelwood. A pink ball is perfectly suited to his strengths as well

I think he was due to lineup in the PMs 11 match today ? Hopefully they take him out …can’t risk more injuries
He missed the last SS game and needs a hit out so I’d expect and hope he plays today
BOLAND WILL SAVE US

No play at all today. 50 over game tmrw.
Statue at Adelaide to match his one at the G.
Interesting take by Marnus’ batting coach
What was it that legendary batsman of ours Greg Chappell said once, when in a horrible stretch of form himself way back …
“I can’t really say I’m batting badly. I’m not batting long enough to be batting badly”

If Sydney has had a month of rain in one day, can it be January’s?
I remember Chappell saying something like “I’m not batting badly, I just keep getting out”.

You know I thought that was it too … so went searching before posting but only found reference to the one I quoted. But think you’re right. Anyway, it cracked a lot of people up when it was published.

Almost always that side strain too.
WHY DO YOU WANT HIM TO BE UNDER-PREPARED?!?
