Should be far too strong but I hope Zimbabwe put in. Would love to see them competitive.

As strong a batting line up we could have.

Should be good to watch the Aussies in action, if we bowl first it will be finished by lunchtime

Won the toss and elected to bowl

Looks a great pitch to bat on.

Zampa getting a lot of turn. Last 8 overs has seen the runs dry up (17 runs).

Very happy to see Zimbabwe batting well here. 4/134 off 35.

Good way to finish, the Aussies love him having him at 7.
Aussies win by 5 wickets, Green Man of the match with his 5 wicket haul.

Could be a floater anywhere between 3 & 7.

Why do we play crap players against decent opposition then roll up with this line-up against a team the Redbacks would beat?

I'm not sure we could have a much stronger and balanced side with plenty of options, obviously Cummins in for someone but we wouldn't lose too many with that team.

Probably add Cummins, Head, McDermott and Agar for your touring squad of 15 for coverage in all areas.

The age-old question.

Mitch Marsh out with an ankle injury I've got a bad feeling about who his replacement will be...

He's not the no-rounder you want but he's the one Australia needs right now.


It'll be either your favourite player, Labuschagne or Abbott to replace him. Another injury setback for Marsh, Josh Inglis who is currently playing in the Hundred will replace him in the squad for the remaining matches against both Zimbabwe and NZ.

@Armchair expert
Your favourite player is playing today.
Aus bowling first.

Starc running through them

Why would we do that?
