Yeah getting. A Little bit worried with head after the great World Cup ton his form has been average

But he is the type of player who can produce a 100 off 90 balls let’s hope he can this first test

Don’t disagree but the credits are running out
 
If it was that easy to make hundreds everyone would have in that match. Webster is fine but the reality is he was never ahead of Green and still isn’t he’s a fantastic backup that’s test quality if need be.

I would personally play both of them myself with Lab opening. That’s what I would do personally

Websters bowling is never getting a test 5 for let’s be real here and he’s in dreadful nick with the bat. You want to claim incumbency well the bloke better be undroppable if he’s in the form Webster is with the bat and end of the day it’s a batting A/R spot not a bowling one.
You are acting like he hasn’t made a run in 12 months, it’s so hyperbolic, he made a 50 3 years ago.

Webster is also actually doing something with the ball at least

If 2 games is enough of a sample size to drop him what do you do to green if he fails in the next two tests?

I don't think anyone saying Webster is bad, and he will be incredibly stiff. It's moreso that in a very tight selection call, current form matters, and Green's is just better at the moment. If Webster was scoring runs at the moment this would be a very different conversation

Webster is not going to be picked over Green it won’t happen and it will not happen. The sooner you realise it easier it will be.

By all means play both but then you leave Weatherald out and I’d be fine with that. Take your pick.

Webster hasn’t smashed the door down with the bat even when he was in the side he was “okay” that’s about it

Green doesn’t have current form unless you are using one test series where he was slightly better.

Doesn’t have shield form and he failed in the wtc final before that.

He’s had 4 50+ scores in 7 tests, yet green with 9 in 30+ is significantly better

I’m not saying what the selectors will do, I agree they will go green. I’m just saying it’s wrong and will look awful if he has a bad two tests to start the summer

Well it’s not as if Webster is making tons this summer to force their hand. Green is just a better package a bit quicker with the ball.

Come on down Fergus

Neser is surely next in line. Done it before and adds a fair bit with the bat not that Fergus can’t but can see them going safe if it’s only a test or two
 
Surely Doggett next cab off the rank. Neser as back up.

Wonder if it makes them think about playing both Green and Webster.

No. You’d just play Neser if you wanted a bowling A/R. Surely

He should have been in over Abbott anyway

Sure Green isn't bashing the door down, but he is batting better than Webster is right now. The runs each of them have scored recently show that. Hence, in a tight call I think Green gets the nod.

Whilst Hazlewood and Cummins out would be pretty grim, we did manage to beat the Poms in 21 with a bowling attack of Neser, Jhye Richardson, Starc and Lyon.

It was a d/n test which we have an impeccable record in but it’s not exactly a doomsday scenario if Hazlewood can’t get up.

No Cummins and Hazlewood is a complete doomsday scenario! Seriously we're completely ****ed if Hazlewood doesn't get up
 
Looks like we've had 2 overly sporty pitches in the shield games. SA vs TAS over in 2½ days.

Not ideal. WACA looked fairly normal though.

It will be interesting to see what gets served up at Perth Stadium
