Australian International Summer (The Ashes) 2021/22

[amber_fluid]

First five test batting innings, for comparison:

Carey - 12, 9, 51, 6, 19
Nevill - 45, 2, 59, 2, 17
Wade - 28, 18, 11, 31*, 106
Paine - 7, 47, 17, 33, 92
Haddin - 11, 23, 33, 7, 32
Gilchrist - 81, 6, 149*, 28, 0
Healy - 26, 21, 27, 0, 27
R. Marsh - 9, 14, 44, 8, 0

Obviously strength of opposition and conditions varied, but I think it's a bit too early to say that Carey's batting isn't up to it at test level.

Marsh

Haddin
Healy

My good bloke to flogger table.

From what I’ve heard Rod Marsh is a prick of a man.

Geez it gets hard when you get to the last 4, Haddin wins for me, Wade saved by winning the T20 world cup for us

My bottom two were a toss up, Healy took the honours as he was a blatant cheat and we're still having to see and hear him on the TV, at least Haddin is only on the radio.

He does have a moustache.

I can only judge on what I've seen over the years with interviews etc. Seemed a funny sort of bloke, I remember something like a "this is you life" kinda show featuring him many years ago and got a good vibe out of him.

I guess if they searched hard enough they could even find half a dozen people to say something nice about me to get their mug on TV.

It's Travy by the sounds of it.

Yep, confirmed.
Now let’s see if there is any sensibility shown

[Armchair expert]

Marsh
Inglis
Maddinson

added to the squad

[Armchair expert]

Sydney Blunder player has now tested positive also

[RB]

Bad luck for Trav. Hopefully comes back in for the Hobart test.

[David Brent]

Selectors have bought in M Marsh, Maddinson & Inglis as extra cover in the squad.

I think they have 3 options to replace Trav:
- M Marsh, in the form of his life & at his best we all know he is good enough. Do we need him & Green in together probably not.
- Uzzie the back up so would be first in line for one more go. If they don't pick him now it's probably never again.
- Maddinson, made bulk runs over last 3 years. From what I've seen is a good player of spin so I think they will have him in mind for all the Asian tours coming up. I think they could very well go with him.

Why Inglis if it’s a batter with Covid?
Unless they are worried about Carey as well?

Maddison?
Yeah nah

Leading Australian run scorer so far this series so hope he comes back and finishes strong

They are ****** if Carey gets it so I think they will be keeping two keepers in the squad for the foreseeable future.

Come on Mr Wade, your son has had his chances

For mine their picking Uzzie, theyve been reluctant to change the squad when they haven't had to but they have added cover for all possibilities.

If Green contracts it they have Marsh
If Carey is positive they have Inglis
If any other batsmen goes down they have Maddinson.

Seems they are just covering for the possible threats.

They could play with 10 and still beat these useless twits!
