Australia's turn to face the music tonight in a Test match
Horrible away record recently and other than beating South Africa 15 months ago, they have not won an away series since 2012 when they beat the West Indies. Since then they have lost the Ashes in England and been white washed by India and Pakistan.
According to the ABC Australia, this is the likely team for the First Test
David Warner, Shaun Marsh, Steve Smith, Michael Clarke (capt), Adam Voges, Shane Watson, Brad Haddin, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
Lots of unanswered questions there.
Many players coming from the 20/20 Indian Premier League straight back into Test Cricket.
About time Watson done something.
WTF is Sean Marsh doing there?? Not just as an opener (Rogers is injured) but in the squad itself?
Steve Smith moved to the #3 position in the batting??
Which Mitchell Johnson will turn up?? He was dropped by his IPL side for not performing recently.
Can Mitchell Starc do it with the red ball??
Adam Voges on debut as a 35yo?? Shades of Bobby Holland.
Is Haddin past it?
It ain't going to be a walk in the park like so many pundits think.
The best bits however is that we are saving our new leggie for the Poms.
Any chance of bringing Mike Gatting back??
