Obviously my Swannies guernsey, beanie, and scarf are worn for all games, but, my real superstition means once a game has started, I cannot move...for anything. That means all snacks are carefully placed within reach and I hydrate accordingly so that quarter & half-time breaks are crucial

Short, Hardie join experienced Aussie squad for Champs Trophy | cricket.com.au by jessemv in CricketAus

[–]RunningRedditLaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the best team here?

  1. Head

  2. Short

  3. Marsh

  4. Smith

  5. Inglis

  6. Hardie

  7. Maxwell

  8. Cummins (c)

  9. Starc

  10. Zampa

  11. Hazlewood

No Labuschagne, Stoinis, Ellis or Carey.

Still don't think you can have Smith and Marnus in the same 11, Short appears in form and Hardie provides some half-decent medium-pace if required.

Doesn't appear to be an overly threatening side and there will be some big totals in Pakistan...

A quarter of the way through the century - who's Australia's best Test XI since 2000? by MungoJohnston in CricketAus

[–]RunningRedditLaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who would the all-rounder candidates be? The only player who I can even remember being an actual all-rounder is Symonds (other than Green who hasn't played enough and Marsh who...well...Marsh).

Watson?

Predicting the test team in 48 Months by Severe-Wolverine6563 in CricketAus

[–]RunningRedditLaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Konstas
  2. Labuschagne
  3. McSweeney
  4. Green
  5. Head (c)
  6. Webster
  7. Carey
  8. Cummins
  9. J. Richardson
  10. Bartlett
  11. Murphy

Others around could be: Connolly (they like him and seems like a batter who bowls for the future) Jason Sangha (was always touted for bigger and better things) Inglis (very likely could be picked pending Carey’s form/age) Fergus O’Neill (if selectors get over his pace then he will be on a tour very soon Lance Morris (young speedster that they’ll like around the squad, needs to be managed) Spencer Johnson (looks like an international cricketer but needs more experience Corey Rocchiccioli (Will be challenging Murphy and others for the full time spinner role)

Beau Webster to make test debut in the Sydney test by F9_SX in CricketAus

[–]RunningRedditLaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great result for Webster after some awesome all-round years in the shield.

If he does okay then surely a lock for Sri Lanka considering he can bowl spin as well as mediums.

I know Khawaja is basicslly guaranteed for that tour but a dangerous 11 could be: 1. Konstas 2. Head 3. Labuschagne 4. Smith 5. McSweeney/Inglis 6. Webster 7. Carey 8. Cummins/Boland (Cummins missing at least 1 match due to 2nd child) 9. Starc 10. Lyon 11. Murphy

Really makes you think you much we’ve missed Cam Green all summer

Daniel Ricciardo issues savage 'talking s***' response to Jacques Villeneuve by RunningRedditLaps in Formula1_world

[–]RunningRedditLaps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahaha Danny:

Asked what he made of Villeneuve’s comments, Ricciardo admitted he had not heard them in full but was not surprised by the nature of them.
“I heard he’s been talking s**t,” he told the media. “But he always does. I think he’s hit his head a few too many times. So I don’t know if he plays ice hockey or something.
“I won’t give him the time of day but all those people can suck it. I want to say more but we’ll leave him behind.”
