Australian Test Tour - Sri Lanka 2016

[Brodlach]

I hope he plays, who comes in for Holland. Surely they cannot play him again

[RustyCage]

Hope he plays!

Maybe they play Head as the second spinner and number 7 bat?

That's not the worst call Zartan... Can you please get in touch with Bacchus?

[Dogwatcher]

Dizzy thinks Head will play this weekend

In the Test match?

They may as well give him a crack... Can't be any worse than the blokes getting a game and he can wheel down 5-10 overs if needed.

Number 6....

It's what I thought as soon as he was named.

Couldn't bowl any worse than Holland

[bennymacca]

Henriques 32 with the bat and 30 with the ball

Marsh 30 and 27 with the ball

Reckon we would be better off finding someone that averages 40 with both bat and ball.

Could travis head be that guy?

Maybe the selectors are listening to me

Maybe you should be a selector?

So they take a punt and rush Head over there to join the squad which is fantastic as he is the future, I wish they did the same for one of our young spinners instead of John Holland.

I'm still flummoxed that Zampa didn't get picked.
What was the reason given?
Surely we should expose him to the dry dusties over there?

[The Dark Knight]

I just watched a video on Cricket Australia about the lead up to the third test starting tomorrow and the narrator mentioned that Boof said Travis Head will not be considered for selection this week, as he is just there to train with the ODI squad. I couldn't find if they had quoted Boof saying that in any of the recent CA news articles covering this test series.

Voges in doubt with injury

He said himself today that he is not up to standard yet in the long form of the game

[Corona Man]

Voges in doubt with injury

Door opening for Trav?

Hopefully, team announced at the toss

Shaun Marsh will play if Voges isn't right. They seem pretty keen to get Marsh in there.

Shaun Marsh is the only specialist batsman on standby, with coach Darren Lehmann already ruling out a Test debut for young-gun Travis Head who joined up with the squad ahead of the one-day international series.

I saw the interview. I don't think HE believes he's not ready, its what he's been told.
If he doesnt play test cricket this summer we aren't trying.

[Brodlach]

No Travis and Marsh and Henriques in for Burns and Usman, I'm not going to bother watching

3-0... Game over!

[Brodlach]

Starc picks up a wicket 1/2

Lyon bowls the fifth over of the innings
