There's a couple of temporary marquee stands going in on the hill, equivalent to silver tickets

Re: The Cricket Thread
The hill will be really hot mate. Id go in the Bradman stand OR the stands to the north or south of it. That will give you some shade during the morning or arvo which you will be thankful for.Brew wrote: ↑January 14, 2019, 8:32 pm I’m planning on going to the test in Canberra.
Do any local Canberrans know where is the best bay to sit and how parking is?
I’m driving there and back in a day for Day 1.
Even if the Bays are in the non alcoholic section I don’t mind as I won’t be drinking.
TIA

Id park at the Glassworks, or thereabouts. Its about a 5-7min walk from there. Easy as.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Well overdue.
At least this run of outs lends to a stronger team come the World Cup. Because with Warner and Smith returning he’s definitely not on the best 11. But then again neither is Carey. I’m hoping they’re considering Handscomb as the keeper for the World Cup.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Ive been saying for a while that I think Handscomb and/ or Bancroft needs to work on their keeping. They are better batsmen than our current crop of keepers. But they seem to be ok enough keepers that with a bit more work they can be cleaner keepers.julian87 wrote: ↑January 16, 2019, 7:50 amWell overdue.

I like Carey, BUT, I think he is being told to bat like Haddin and Gilchrist, which he isnt. Bat like Carey, which means get in, then swing.
Im also very tempted to talk to Short about expanding his horizons beyond T20.

Hard choice to make but one of Uzi or Marsh has to drop out for Max to come in. Comes down to form leading into the WC.
This is my WC ODI team. Happy for Carey to keep the keepers spot but bat down the order. Given the depth of the batting Carey would probably be the better choice)

Warner
Uzi / S Marsh (form leading into comp)

Re: The Cricket Thread
Handscomb’s keeping is a lot better than Carey’s batting so he wins the battle imo.-TW- wrote: ↑January 16, 2019, 11:39 amHandscomb is a rubbish keeperjulian87 wrote:Well overdue.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Carey gone early. Finch lucky to still be there after a catch just fell short of 1st slip and almost run out.
Ball moving round everywhere. Not great conditions if you're trying to regain form.
