Australia tour of India, Feb 17-March 29

[rich1uk]

is that (the Bangers game) the only series since England? I thought they had played someone else.

If so, I may be out of order on this. Still suspicious though....

it was the first test they played, there was a limited overs series with england in between

[yuppie]

S Marsh picked for the first warm up game.

Khawaja not picked.

Will this be the top 5 for the first test?

[Arthur Crabtree]

There was DRS for the BD game- Kohli referred an lbw to win the game.

Aussies have a stronger attack than was promised. Haze is in there.

Starc to come in for Bird, and this will be Australias team for the first test.

M Marsh has not done enough to get his place back, though not sure Maxwell has done enough to get another cap. Chance there though to make the number 6 position his own.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Smith scoring more runs. Can't turn the tap off.

Not sure the attack is that potent though.

100 up, 50 for Marsh. Seems to be going well so far.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Slapsie Maxie not batting yet sort of implies he's not going to play in the Tests.

Nadeem is an experienced spinner with a fca in the twenties. Herwadkar has an average of 25. So maybe the spin attack not too bad.

Only got to face 25 balls whilst M Marsh managed to get to 75 runs.

Unless he takes a few wickets, Australia looks like it will go for M Marsh. Get dropped for not scoring, go back to ODI, state cricket and t20. Make no runs, then get re selected again.

India A selection could have been much better.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hazlewood isn't playing. Could I have imagined it?

Much like England in India, the spinners took their share of wickets, but were much more expensive.

On yesterdays scorecard his name was on it, and M Marsh was not. So we saw the same thing

[The Professor]

Bit disappointed with some of the batting for India A.

Thought Panchal and Bawne might have shown what they can do in a no pressure environment.

[yuppie]

Simple draw in the end, and most Australian prospects getting a run out. Marsh over Maxwell at present.

One warm up match is not enough for a series of this magnitude.

[Arthur Crabtree]

One more than England...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Seven wickets for the spinners though. Could have done with getting another bat a bit earlier.
