Whose your paceman?

Boland and Hazlewood or both. Lords probably suits both

Leave out Starc?
hazlewood is taking wickets in the IPL ,i'd pick the king of melbourne .but the selectors won't .
starc, cummins ,hazlewood the goat . the batting line up is tricky . green has rattled off 3 tons in county .
webster will be unlucky .
head ,koala, Labuschagne , smithy , green, carey ,inglis , cummins , starc , goat , hazelwood

Bloke at work has done the trip of a lifetime and has tickets.
To say he has been bragging is putting it mildly.
Lords is much smaller than you imagine when you go in person

I like it. Bit worried about the batting these days but should be able to bowl well enough to win

greens dismisal was the worst of the top 6 . south africa bowled poorly to marnus till rabada got to him .
inglis certainly comes striaght back in ,constances will get another look .jason sangha is close and mcsweeny deserves another chance .
8 to 11 are all in their 30's this is gunna be an epic fall not seen since the dire days of the mid to late 80's

28 wickets for 500 runs in 2 days.

It's the mariners v Perth of the cricket world.

Obviously the players are all weighed down carrying all that IPL cash to perform in a long version game.

This is the issue of playing a one off game in the off season for test cricket. Players are not match ready and it is showing on a pitch and conditions where the ball moves around.
It's in that space in the calendar though because players are prioritising the cash of the IPL over test cricket.

Nothing wrong with that as an individual - make hay while the sun shines.

Disappointing from a fan point of view that they promote it as a world championship and it's the standard of grade cricket 🤷🏻‍♂️

green has been playing county and had rattled off 3 centuries .
his lack of discipline in this game has been reprehensible .
