Warner for Hughes/Khawaja/Smith and Bird/Lyon/Starc for Pattinson I reckon.

for me id replace hughes for warner , hughes just isn't firing and khawaja  looks a good player if they give him time and id replace pattinson with lyon , old Trafford looks hard so turn and bounce for the spinners him and swann will be in the game

Aus a looks like a t20 squad.

Finch
Maxwell
Coulternile.


Have they stopped trying to produce good 4day players?


Also where henriques and Cummings gone?

Lots of rain and cloud cover about though, can't see either side picking 2 spinners.

pat Cummings is injured I think , he looked a real good baller 90+ giving them something different

He's playing in the game I linked to, although he has been injured.

is he just returning from injury ? he looked a promising prospect for the aussies , him and Mitchell Johnston and peter siddle would be my 3 first choice seamers

Talking of Warner (who will play tomorrow)

Take a look at this

I can't imagine that bat gatting too many positive comments on here!!!!!
It has knots and filler and everything (also the shoulders don't look like a GN too but that is a different story)

It looks alright to me Buzz, but I'm a weirdo who loves a bat with imperfections!

Actually I do too - I really like to see graping although not a big fan of knots on the face.

I love graping, the odd small knot is alright IMO too, all adds to the character of a bat to me  :)

After the 1st match, which was played on a dead pitch.

It's nice to see a pitch for the bowlers

Exciting to see Marchant de Lange back.

We've missed him during his 10 months out through injury.

Grips can be changed to preference ;) Side stamps are there mind, even if they're looking a bit worse for wear

That bat of Warners is a Laver if I'm not mistaken? Toe guard and profile give it away.

4 wickets for Ahmed in the SA first innings though.

And 8 for Harmer in Aus 2nd innings? Whoever that is, pretty decent effort?
