I like the look of the team picked for the first test against the Sth Africans, hats off to the selectors for making the tough call to replace Haddin with Wade. Should be a good series and hopefully the Punter makes plenty of runs and doesnt fall for grace to quickly because we really need his experience for another couple of seasons.
The Zuids look and sound very confident about the upcoming series!!
Apparently the First Test is being played at the Gabba. Out of the Test matches played at the Gabba Australia has lost eight, won thirty three and drawn 12. One being tied.
The last time Australia lost in Brisbane was back in 1988.
I’m looking forward to the series because South Africa will be loking to cement the No 1 ranking.
Should be a blinder of a series.I think the selectors have got it right with the side.Seems to be the best to be had at the moment.
I read earlier that Cummins was not in the spot light to play in the first teast.
I think Wade is a better keeper than Haddin right now and more than likely we have seen the last of Haddin.I think that Tim Paine has passed Haddin as a keeper now as well.
Looks like it could be a pace war for most of the series.
So who do you think will end up as the full time Aussie keeper…Wade or Paine?
Tough one shark, I reckon Paine is a better bat, but Wade may have the edge in keeping and a better injury record
I heard somewhere that Alan Donald is the South African bowling coach. Would be tons of wisdom there.
Wade certainly has the lead at the moment,but he wouldn’t want to slip up or he may be on the slide.
I have not seen how Paine is going in the Shield so far this season.How is he keeping!!
Paine was a mile in front pre finger injury, but will now have to work his butt off to win the top job.
