Just in - First test postponed

[Cricket_Hacker]

simulation match suggests that Pujara could be opener and Rohit might bat at number#3

[Iconoclast]

The match should have gone on with those players most directly affected by Hughes death being given the option to skip the test.

the cricket world cup is effectively starting in the middle of march for the qf semi and finals. The 4th test is ending 6th Jan. There is enough time to recover for the WC. Aaron remains a worry. Expect Shami Bhuvi Ishant Umesh to pull through and be fit by the time the key WC stage starts

[bowl_out]

Important that we keep rotating fast bowlers... None of them should play all 4 tests... One or two of them will surely get injured if they retain the same set for 4 tests...

Chetan Narula @chetannarula · 7m 7 minutes ago But have just spoken with Cricket Australia. They have refused that this is the final schedule. So... Still waiting.

I guess its a less cramped schedule. I am happy now that the likes of Shami and Bhuvi did not play v Sri Lanka, They should have plenty of rest.
