Well so much for a pretty straight forward selection meeting - Pucovski has certainly set the cat amongst the pigeons.Batsmen - Same top 7 as last test. Wade will want to score runs straight up or will find himself under a bit of pressure. Burns may find himself in the firing line if he really struggles or Maddinson hits the ground running in the shield and the selectors are willing play him as an opener - he has opened plenty over the years, including a bit in the last two seasons so there is no reason that isn't a viable option.
To be honest, I think it will be a pretty straight forward selection debate for the first test.
That's the thing about Mitch, people can have a crack at him for underperforming in Test cricket, but at the core he's a ripper bloke. Probably helps explain why they've been so keen on going him so many chances.Just on a side note, i finally got around to watching 'The Test' - FMD that was a great series. Really good insight into a lot players - i actually came out liking Mitch Marsh, which says alot
The Vics have been on roads - undebatable
I mean even Renshaw tonned upQueenslanders have been making runs... except for Burnsy.
Basically every pitch has been a road.I must have missed the game where QLD played against Victoria on the roads the Vics have played on. Dont think anyone can disagree that the Vics have played on roads in both games.

Is you had to pick a combined XI who makes it?

I respect Langer the coach, the man seems to be a right bellend.Was great to get a behind scenes look at players personalities, relationships, player meetings, coaches meetings. Langer seems very extreme and would be hard work eventually - so full on.

Neser and Pierson did too lol
But apparently Joe Burns didn't play on flat wickets lol
Playing Burns almost makes be wish Bancroft the dud was in the squad!
I have never understood a thing you have said.latitude saus tjat we short report for duty//
finch
But Joe had to face the new ball......
Oh never mind Will had to as well.
The obvious thing to me would be to play Pucovski at 6 and wade misses out.
Why is the obvious answer to replace the better performing batsman? Wade has been solid enough in tests over the past 12 months and scored 209 runs from 4 innings in the opening shield rounds. Both claims Burns can't make.
I just think the best thing for Pucovski's career would be to start at number 6. Especially against this Indian team. If they were playing the West Indies or the Pakistan teenagers, I'd agree to just get him in opening.
I'm not defending Burns, I don't think he or Wade will be in the team for much longer.
Fair enough reasoning. It's just slightly more complex because I feel dropping Wade isn't the obvious answer answer. I don't know how to re-jig that lineup though because nobody else is an opener. Can't imagine a Wade/Warner combo thriving unless it was an ODI or T20.
Well so much for a pretty straight forward selection meeting - Pucovski has certainly set the cat amongst the pigeons.
From the noise coming out the Australian camp it feels like they are sticking with Burns but he'll need to be in the runs straight away. Personally I'd pick the youngster.
Wade will have done enough to hold his #6 spot, but the situation remains no different for him in regards to needing runs. Both Burns and Pucosvki could bat #6 and he's also got young Green in the mix so Wade has a numbers of challengers for his position.
