@barbarian when is Smith and Warner back in the team? Or when do their bans expire

[barbarian]

@Paekakboyz Wade is doing OK. He's averaging 60 this year with five 50s and one century. Good numbers but not a huge sample size.

He's scored a few test centuries, so I wouldn't be opposed to giving him a chance as a batsman. Though I don't think he'd be radically better than Handscomb or Head.

[barbarian]

@Hooroo They are back after the Sri Lanka series, I think it's March 20th or so.

@barbarian @Hooroo assuming Warner's redemption tale sits well with selectors.

[MajorRage]

@NTA Guessing that is inversely proportional to the success of the Aussie team without him ... hence, I'd say they are pretty comfy at the moment

I love this analysis, and wish you could do something like it for rugby.

Breaking down relevant data to pick an Australian batting line-up based solely on numbers (but more than just averages).

Interesting to see Wade still make it with data going back 3 seasons.

I think he didn't play much in the 2016/17 season? His form has mostly been over the last two years

The thing that surprised me was the poor standard of Australian fielding. If they held more of the chances they created then this is a different series. At least closer. The bowlers are copping some stick, but some of the hands...

Looks like Marsh is out and young Pucovski is in. Joe Burns too.

This is great news.

Pucovski double ton against WA was a mature innings for a youngster. It’s quite the story given his battles.

@Virgil Wow! I didn't read the article but does he need to learn how to duck?
Edit: Nope! Just a bit unlucky!

Trying to name the team from the 80's.
Can make out (from left to right) Bruce Reid, Dean(o) Jones, AB, Craig McDermott, David Boon, Greg Matthews.
Pretty sure i know the guy standing directly behind Allan Border just cant think of the name.

Note: No cheating by looking online

[dogmeat]

@Virgil or to translate it into Ocker: Reid-o, Dean-o, AB, Craig-o, Boon-o, Greg-o. Think you missed Steve-o.
