what a waste of time this game is
Used to be a one day game. A couple of old blokes, mixed with a heap of younger players and an unknown local was the make up of the teamLightning McQueen wrote:Eagles2014 wrote:
This is such a boring game to watch. Just batting practice for Pakistan on an absolute road, and bat off between Harris, Bancroft and Renshaw for the Aussies. No intent by either team and be called off by Lunch tomorrow
Which really matters not as we won’t be unchanged all summer (opening combo).
I always thought it was a limited overs match and more of a novelty match, a chance for the touring side to meet the PM over a few froffies at Kirribilli house and unload some bombs in the pool.

Back when tours were proper tours especially when Australia went to England, they would play a lot of the county teams who would always make sure they were full strength.Lightning McQueen wrote:Keefy wrote:Used to be a one day game.

Sounds good to me, the touring side should play a 4 dayer against the reigning shield winner.
I know the Poms used to make sure we played low division teams for tour matches.
