The international summer gets under way in Australia in the coming weeks. The Kiwis are first up, with the opening Test taking place at the Gabba. The Aussies are holding a 2 day camp in preparation, with the 20 man squad as follows;
Steve Smith, David Warner, Cameron Bancroft, Joe Burns, Nathan Coulter-Nile, James Faulkner, Andrew Fekete, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Johnson, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Peter Nevill, Steve O'Keefe, James Pattinson, Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, Adam Voges.
The mail on Warner is that he might be in doubt, as his injury is still an issue. Cameron Bancroft would appear to be the favourite to open with Warner. Michael Clarke has publicly backed Shaun Marsh for the role.
Darren Lehmann has spoken about the lack of red ball cricket in the lead up to a home Test series. There could be more on that dependent on results this summer.
Corey Anderson has been ruled out of the NZ squad.
"Hey, doll. Could you scare up another round for our table over here? And tell the cook this is low grade dog food. I've had better food at the ballgame, you know? This steak still has marks from where the jockey was hitting it." Al Czervik, aka Rodney Dangerfield in "Caddyshack" (1980)
