Australian International Summer

[Lightning McQueen]

I don't see the point in playing South Africa in Tassie full stop, pretty stupid in November too, at the end of the day they'll only get 10,000 people there and they'll all get in on a family pass.

Where else you you play it? 2 x 3 Test Series this season and Australia only has 6 summer time Test venues. Means Sydney or Melbourne get 2 and likely to impact on their 'Traditional' slots

Play the 3rd test of the 2nd series around Jan 10th.

Our summers are starting later and we're pretty much guaranteed the hottest weather in Jan/Feb.

I did, they didn't listen...............................haters.


the BBL still clashes with the Melbourne and Sydney tests.

[bennymacca]

The bbl is the best thing to happen to Australian cricket since the World Series.

The bbl is the best thing to happen to Australian cricket since the World Series.

Agreed... when the Mrs and kids (girls) are happy and eager to go along to games, then to me that's a win.

It's certainly the best thing to happen to 20/20 cricket.

Test cricket, on the other hand...

It's banned in my house, it makes an absolute mockery of the game.

Tens of thousands of kids flocking to domestic games makes a mockery of the game?

Those very kids getting the wrong idea thinking they have the technique to play the game in any format....

[bennymacca]

Well that I agree with.

But test cricket would die quicker if t20 wasn't around. The amount of potential new fans brought to the game outweighs anything else imo.

Yep lock it in. Voges to play, Ferguson to replace Marsh or Lyon.

[bennymacca]

Hopefully Marsh!! Smith said they were leaning towards playing 6 batsman. And they surely can't drop Lyon.

[Aerie]

Looks like we'll get about 30 overs in over the first couple of days. Hopefully the weather will be kinder and they can catch up some of that later in the Test match.

Dont be too sure! With hardly any play on first 2 days, Smith said they may go with the 3 seamers and use him, Davey and Voges. Green top pitch and only about 3 days play, Saffers looking to do similiar thing.

[The Dark Knight]

Just saw Callum Furguson presented his test cap. (I have Cricket.com.au on Snapchat and they recorded a little video of the presentation). Number 445 for Ferg

[bennymacca]

Ferguson and Mennie in for Marsh and Siddle

Go you Redbacks!

[bennymacca]

I wonder how many more times they will mention that Mennie is actually from NSW originally.

They have mentioned it about 5 times already, i set the line at about 465
