An interesting little 2 Test series will be taking place in Chennai, featuring India A & an Usman Khawaja-led Australia A. I do like these fixtures, as it gives players knocking on the door of national selection a chance to impress the selectors... or in this case, it seems as though players who are maybe a couple of years off a chance to have run with the big boys, in the hope that they will blossom into international stars in the coming years.
The Oz squad is as follows; Usman Khawaja (c), Matthew Wade (vc), Ashton Agar, Cameron Bancroft, Joe Burns, Patrick Cummins, Andrew Fekete, Peter Handscomb, Travis Head, Nic Maddinson, Glenn Maxwell, Stephen O'Keefe, Gurinder Sandhu, Marcus Stoinis.
From this squad, I would run with the following XI;
Nic Maddinson
Usman Khawaja
Joe Burns
Cameron Bancroft
Glenn Maxwell
Travis Head
Matthew Wade
Stephen O'Keefe
Ashton Agar
Pat Cummins
Gurinder Sandhu
Not sure where Chris Lynn, James Pattinson, or Jason Behrendorff are.
A tri-angular ODI featuring the Saffers will follow after the second match,
"Hey, doll. Could you scare up another round for our table over here? And tell the cook this is low grade dog food. I've had better food at the ballgame, you know? This steak still has marks from where the jockey was hitting it." Al Czervik, aka Rodney Dangerfield in "Caddyshack" (1980)
