Voges doesn't even get picked for the first default test squad for the WIndes - hence why I think he needed an upgrade.
He is still barely getting out of the 30s for me - Shaun Marsh all the way mate!!!

SECOND TEST + SERIES REVIEWEDThat was better overall. I really wanted to debut Sam Whiteman but decided against it in the end, not really sure why. Things got off to a slow and steady start, taking the better part of five sessions to end up at a total of 429. David Warner (103) and Steve Smith (77) provided excellent partners to the captain Michael Clarke had put up an unbeaten 130. Mitchell Starc decided he was going to be the man, and walked away with great figures of 5-66. Not much else to write home about here, aside from the left armer dominating not much happened.
Second innings now and it was once again David Warner that got us going with a much needed 113. Michael Clarke fell 2 balls before lunch on day four, and of course Shaun Marsh joined him back in the stands one ball later. Mitchell Marsh ended a poor tour with a fine 65 before we began bowling with three and a half sessions remaining. The last innings was odd. Nathan Lyon struck three times in the matter of three over, then it looked like they were going to cruise to a draw for a while. Needing just four (three with Shuvagata Hom's retirement in the first innings) we got it done with the new ball mid-way through the final session.
Overall, pretty bummed with how the series turned out. We should have cruised to a 2-0 win, instead we had poor performers just about everywhere and left too much to too few. I'll be looking to rectify that in my first home series next, hopefully we get some more bowler friendly wickets. Before that, we have to finish up here. On to the One day matches!

I know it won't be any consolation, but in real life Bangladesh just bundled out South Africa for 248 in the first test and took a first innings lead of 78, before rain washed out play on days 4 and 5. They seem to be a much improved side these days.Last edited by kishorea; 07-26-2015, 07:12 AM.Leave a comment:

If it is any consolation, they only drew the first test on mine, Bangladesh were 460-9 in the 2nd inns at the close, only 50ish short of winning.Leave a comment:

FIRST TEST REVIEW
Nope, that's not a typo, we just got spanked by Bangladesh. If there was ever a need for an immediate resign button, it'd be right now. I could make excuses and blame thee weather for our first innings collapse after being sent in to bat, but the truth is it shouldn't matter against teams like Bangladesh. We were absolutely insipid with bat and ball over most of the five days, I'm utterly embarrassed of the team right now.
Changes to come. Disgraceful.Leave a comment:

TOUR MATCH REVIEW + FIRST TEST NEWS!
That first innings was truly deplorable, all over. Once again it felt like slow, spinning wickets would prove to be our achilles heel. The less said about most of the first two days of that match, the better. We bowled awfully first up, allowing a pretty mediocre side cruise to 300. If it wasn't for the sheer brilliance of Mitchell Marsh and Sam Whiteman I'd have lost this game, no doubts about it.
Second innings was better, although not without faults. Having them 8/82 then allowing them to claw their way to 146 was a low point, but the bowlers were a lot better the second time around. I decided to go hard for the win late into day three, Shaun Marsh was again great and pressing hard for a middle order recall with Adam Voges failing in both innings. Still a few questions left unanswered for mine.
Really not sure how I want to approach the first Test. I'm really not a fan of playing two frontline spinners as I just don't believe in it. Not a fan of Glenn Maxwell at all but his bowling would be handy. We'll have to assess at the toss.
Likely XI:
Joe Burns, David Warner, Steve Smith, Michael Clarke (c), Shaun Marsh, Mitchell Marsh, Peter Nevill, S O'Keefe, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon.Leave a comment:

AUSTRALIAN TOUR GAME NEWS
So we have a three day game against Chittagong to kick things off. Overall there are a few questions that need to be answered. Can Joe Burns cement himself as a top shelf opener? Will Adam Voges get that Test hundred he's dreamt about since he was a kid? Will Australia opt to play two spinners? Can Peter Nevill return to form and keep the 23 year old wonderkid Sam Whiteman off his tail?
Certainly not a settled line-up, despite a big Ashes win. Hopefully we get some answers on this tour...Leave a comment:
