S Marsh is a far better player than anyone in this top 6 and therefore has to go to England for the Ashes. Also Khawaja isnt test standard until he addresses his woeful ineptitude against spin. Discuss
Shaun Marsh is a perennially failure. He should never be selected again

This side is so freaking bad. The best and most logical thing the selectors could have done is start debut the next 200 gamer but no they prefer batsman who averages in the 30's rather than an average of 50

I've been trumpeting this for a while, he's far more likely to score a 100 than any of these players in England bar maybe Khawaja
Its a shame he got stiffed in Melbourne because in both inning he looked like a big score was likely. Is a better player than Khawaja until Khwaja sorts out his shit play against spin. Sean can also play in any position in the top six. Has to go to England.

Wtf is going on. No way Smith and Warner coming back in automatically fixes this....the techniques and decision making of our top and fringe players is utterly redundant. How do we go from scoring runs for fun all over the world not long ago to being bullied at home by bloody Sri Lanka???? Sri Lanka ffs

Bowling has nothing to do with it, we consistently fished at outside off balls with a horizontal bat and consistently got out. It's idiotic batting in a Test match
We've been batting like that for years. Would think someone would learn eh?

If he shows good County form before the Ashes, Renshaw simply has to be selected. Strong technique, doesn't throw his wicket away, and a great record over there.
