Caught a bit of Ronnie McDonald on Whately this morning. Think he covered this one. The "contracted" players, such a Konstas, are first cabs..... he didn't say that in as many words, but that was the gist of it.

Not that I know much but I would've thought Konstas having a hit in a dustbowl wouldn't really help him prepare for the Ashes tour over here where he'll be up against in your face pace bowling.

Only thing I can think of is, any time in the middle in September is a bonus...

Maxwell out of the New Zealand tour with a fractured arm, hit in the nets evidently

Maxwell out of the New Zealand tour with a fractured arm, hit in the nets evidently

More plausible excuse than the last time he was injured.

thought perhaps he and Jeremy Cameron had been involved in an arm wrestling match
