KP is ridiculously good.

KP is ridiculously good.

I believe they need to play no International cricket for 4 years. Pietersen last played 3 years ago so another year to wait :) Then Aussie citizen needs to happen too :P

It was sooo hot at the game tonight, roof closed didn't help :p

Stars though! Unfortunately Sammy was a bit disappointing behind the stumps and didn't do much with the bat either :-\

Might be replaced by Handscomb?

You'd think so, unless Handscomb doesn't actually want to keep :p

I think they'll both play.

Wright, Bobby, KP, Handscomb, Huss, Stoinis, Gulbis, Harper, Boland, Hilf, Beer seems like it's probably gonna be the team.

Duke is still injured and the other players left on the list are Gotch, Gannon, Coleman and Worrall.

Dropping Harper means playing another bowler and while Gannon, Coleman and Worrall are bowlers, I think we'd rather not have to resort to them. Although that means 20 overs from Hilf, Beer, Boland, Stoinis and Gulbis.

Our real issue now is a second or part time spinner. Huss is probably gonna bowl himself if we want any more spin overs outside of Beery unless he makes KP bowl some offies.

[PowerBug]

Exactly there's no genuine 6th bowler for the Stars, so wouldn't surprise me to see Worrall if fit come in for Harper. The rest of the team is like you posted though, there's no real variation that they have with everyone away.

Will Cummins ever stop being overhyped?

It's laughable that he's in test squad contention despite no First Class game in 6 years. How are Bird, Sayers, Mennie (probably missing a few as well) knowing that Cummins will be in the test side as soon as he plays a First Class game? ::)

[PowerBug]

Geeeeeeez, if he gave that leg byes like I think happened.... Well.

English Media must be perfect in their assessment of every young player AMIRITE

Most laughable thing is a bloke living in Australia whinging about Australian focused media ::)
