And cricket training in August?
Pre-season training buddy. We train at a indoor nets facility.
It was a disappointing loss by Australia but it was a magnificent win by Zimbabwe. Well done to them all.
Australia now move on to their next match against South Africa today, which we really need to win. Steve Smith and Mitchell Johnson will be back in the team so Clarke's absence will allow Smith back into the team and Ben Cutting will probably make way for Johnson.
This would give us a batting order of:
1. Phil Hughes
2. Aaron Finch
3. Mitchell Marsh (I am assuming he bats here again in Clarke's absence)
4. George Bailey
5. Glenn Maxwell
6. Steve Smith
7. Brad Haddin
8. James Faulkner
9. Mitchell Johnson
10. Mitchell Starc
11. Nathan Lyon
In my opinion this is the strongest side Australia can field with Clarke flying back home. I would bat Maxwell at three though to make it easier for Marsh against a quality South African bowling attack and Marsh batting down the order would allow you to move Smith up to number five to give him more time to bat, which has been a problem when he has came to the crease. Maxwell has proven before he has no problem batting higher up the order.
