Australia's tour of Bangladesh

Re: Australia's tour of Bangladesh

It doesn't sound like it's important to Boof as long as the players go out playing their shots.

Boof only gives a shit about England, India and Sth Africa, but then again so does Cricket Australia. Terrible attitude.

That's why you shouldn't let a guy universally named Boof coach your most important national team.

I really fail to conprehend the justification for his selection.

We have taken 3 spinners on tour plus Maxwell and we lose a quick to an injury and replace him with a spinner who has a long history of being a fool who also didn't do the preparation at Darwin. I guess we will play SOK and ignore Swepson

Yep.. even if they were able to justify a spin replacement for Hazlewood it's still a head scratcher as to why they plumped for O'Keefe over Holland.

Captain's call - pays to be good mates with Steve Smith.

SOK did reasonably well in India to be fair but his repeated alcohol issues, which stamped his papers a couple of months ago, have now been completely ignored. He wasn't part of the Darwin camp - Holland and Swepson were - and has now seemingly jumped ahead of both of them. If you waste time worrying about the inconsistencies and mixed messages in Australia's selection policies, you'll lose your hair in record time.

I just think it's that Smith doesn't particularly rate Agar as a bowler. There's a reason he was so underused against the top order in Bangladesh's first innings.

Re: Australia's tour of Bangladesh

We've taken such a small squad that there's not much you can really do. Would they swap Hazlewood for Cartwright to strengthen the batting?

Hilton would just about be the worst bowler to take the new rock in the history of Australian cricket.

It's either that or Hilton comes in for Maxwell/Khawaja.

Has the rumour of replacing Wade with Handscomb behind the stumps been squashed yet?
That would be a terrible mistake.

We need to find another keeper though and if not Neville who gets the role?

This is actually the sort of game where we could have used Mitch Marsh as the bowling partner to Cummins

I think we will add either Bird or SOK.

Stocks are low, but one thing for sure, Wade has had his chances and he has fallen short of the mark.

In my day we would have run that out.

Legit - is Handscomb a better keeper than Wade?
