Why isn’t renshaw playing
Hasn’t been a buzz about an Australian junior cricketer like that since. May never ever beI remember the buzz when he arrived at the Academy.
Each test nation may well have one or two better bowlers, but as a whole our bowling attack is as good as any in the world.No one argues that they're not world class, but they aren't close to the best in the world. Hazlewood is easily the best pace bowler, while Lyon is arguably the best of the squad. It's a good bowling attack, but most of the test nations have one or two better bowlers. Anderson and Steyn at their ripe old ages are still better bowlers than our pace attack, and they're borderline geriatric.
Bowling potatoes at 145km/h is still a ******* potato. There's more to the art of bowling than chucking down 3 bouncers an over and the occasional wide of off yorker.
Pucovski will average 55 in test cricket and be the most likeable player we've ever had, absolute ripper of a bloke that would have played test cricket by now if he didn't get an unfortunate knee to the head in footy in 2014.
Yep and that’s the call I’m making, played with the guy for a while and he’s got the temperament, the technique and the hunger for runs to seriously be a force in test cricket.It is very rare for anyone to average 55+, safe to say that I doubt this will happen with him. Think of how few average 55+ in test cricket right now. Smith does, and Kholi is close, that's it.
A lot of people jumped down my throat for being a big advocate of Mathew Wade but he’s made yet another 50 in extremely bowler friendly conditions in Hobart.
Came in at 4/21 and top scored with a very respectable 63. Given our test sides batting woes it is absolutely criminal for the selectors to leave a bloke with this type of form out.

Wade has 7 50’s and 4 100’s in the last 12 months of shield cricket. You’re reading too much into the position he comes in at, and not enough into his performances.Then bat at 4. It gives him more opportunities to get big runs. Hundreds are what will get selections not 50’s.

He is quite obviously a hellHas played 22 tests, 38 innings.
First 19 innings - 592 runs at 39.47.
Second 19 innings - 294 runs at 18.38.
Lost his way and was deservedly dropped (plus was an average keeper) but he showed that he could be a decent batsman in the first part of his test career. Wouldn't be the first player to lose their way and come back a better player later on once they mature. Hasn't been happening enough lately frankly.
He could score what he has in the last 12 months at number 11 ffs and they’d still count. Runs are runs.
Finch bats at 5 for Victoria yet opens for the test side? Why does it matter if he bats 6 when he consistently comes out to bat in amidst a collapse inside the first 20 overs of an innings?The selectors don’t see it like that. They want players in the top 4. It’s why Maxwell bats 4 for Victoria basically. He’d probably “like” to bat 6 too
No he prefers batting up the order.The selectors don’t see it like that. They want players in the top 4. It’s why Maxwell bats 4 for Victoria basically. He’d probably “like” to bat 6 too

Regardless of where you think he should bat, runs are on the board.If he’s not batting ahead of Bailey...
Come on he should be batting 5 at least.
Finch shouldn’t be in the side anyway
Marsh has the worst run of form in the history of Australian Test Cricket; why the **** is he in the side?
Token West Australian and JL couldn’t drop both his favourite players, baby steps.
