Test XI - Windies series

[Mueddie28]

When does it start

[Googly]

Is Alzari Joseph playing? Our A line-up would be under pressure against him. It will still be a stern test.

Magala bowling beautifully. Given SA a sniff here. Just need Buttler AND Roy within the next 50 runs and they're in with a shout.

[Googly]

Then there's Ali, Curran and Willey. I don't think Curran has ever won a game with the bat. Bats at 3 in one of these T20 sides, just never seems to come off. Looks great then goes out.

Looks like Raza is back in the UAE too

Not sure if he’s going to fly back for the first test?

[jaybro]

He’s already played a game upon his return to Dubai

Raza's journey to and from Dubai is not that bad. I think he can manage. Its Burl who has a bit of a journey. I don't know if Burl was even being considered for the tests anyway. It will depend on the injuries and Raza's NOC request for the second test I guess.

We had quite a heated discussion about this. Taps do you know if any of the counties are definitely coming?
They could actually field 2 teams simultaneously, give everyone a run.

Last I heard they were working on something. With ZC there are so many rumours that you never really know what's going to happen for sure. Ballance being the perfect example

The warm up match is being streamed on ZC YouTube

Madhevere should have had a wicket at 15.5 when the keeper dropped the catch off a nick. Other than that a flat pitch and chanceless innings by the two test openers.
