There are guys who have had hot seasons that get them nowhere and then they have a down season allowing the selectors to ignore them.

Konstas with another nice round 0.

Handscomb (who they will not pick) got runs. Every other hope has so far shat the bed

Bledisloe? What the fk is that?! It's cricket season, you Polish harlots.
News is Cummins is out for the forseeable - back issues. Probably from carrying the entire nation the last few years.
I know he's only one person, but given how important the bowling attack in for Australia now their batsmen are inconsistent donkeys, this is a massive loss.
All it takes is a drop in form from one of the other mainstays and this is a remarkably open series.

yep, Australia's huge advantage was not only their four main bowlers, but the safety net of someone as good as Boland waiting to come in. Well now they are using the safety new right from the get go.
Cummins also provided a few of those valuable middle-order runs we talked about earlier. Boland ain't doing that.

What are the chances of another round of the battle of the Ians this Summer ?
For what it’s worth I give this one to Beefy for being slightly less childish and petty and admitting Chappell was a good player.
Team Beefy in this beef!

last round of Shield games for someone, anyone, to put their hand up.
Aussie could be in a spot here, the chat is around needing one opener, but again, because these selectors refuse to let anything go, they are working on the hope that Khawaja can refind some form. That double hundred in Sri Lanka is doing a LOT of heavy lifting (just like Warner's last one did) because other than that he has crossed 50 once since the start of last year. And he's had a lot of innings since then.
Essentially they are hoping a 39 year old can get his eye back.

Given England's terrible batting form at the moment, Australia could pull someone out of club cricket to be one of their openers and still win the series 5-0.
Both teams have a mix of brilliant batsmen, a couple maybe past it or in terrible form and some who are a bit shit and you wonder how they made it in the first place.
Should make for an excellent series.
