Australia squad: David Warner, Will Pucovski, Joe Burns, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Matthew Wade, Cameron Green, Tim Paine (capt.), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon, James Pattinson, Michael Neser, Mitchell Swepson, Sean Abbott
If Neser or Abbott play a test for Australia, Bryce McGain and John Hastings may have some competition for most ordinary test player of all time.
A nineteen-man Australia A side has also been named ahead of two tour matches against India in Sydney:
Australia A: Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Joe Burns, Jackson Bird, Alex Carey, Harry Conway, Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Travis Head, Moises Henriques, Nic Maddinson, Mitchell Marsh (subject to fitness), Michael Neser, Tim Paine, James Pattinson, Will Pucovski, Mark Steketee, Will Sutherland, Mitchell Swepson

He's in a similar position to Trent Copeland which I think you mentioned him the other day? They share that similar position with Chadd Sayers too.RB wrote:I agree TDK. Although about 986 of his wickets have been against the Redbacks.

You don't rate him at all?
Has a very, very good first class record, the most Sheffield shield wickets for Tasmania and very consistent so has deserved to be in contention for higher honours.

He goes alright and yes he does have an impressive first class record but to me the Australia A players should be up and comers, he’s never going to play test cricket again, I just find it funny that they’d waste money on accomodation etc to select 19 players for our B Grade team, moreso that there are 4 players in the real team that will not come into consideration for the first test unless COVID sweeps the squad.
Give some kids or fringe players the exposure to see if they’re up to it.
Just my 2 bobs worth.

Most of those guys selected are fringe test players/already in the team and wanting more time in the middle with only a few up and comers. Moises Henriques is a consistent first class cricketer but he is a more abstract selection than Bird.

Same old story, harder to get out of the team, than to get into it.

I continue to have doubts on Neser and believe Burns was awarded a spot out of a sense of loyalty (Marcus Harris is more deserving on form.)
Of the potential debutants, Pucovski has to start. Swepson and Abbott are having break out years, and Green is just plain ridiculously talented, but will probably have to wait til January for his debut.
Good times ahead.
