He's not a player that should be at number 3. I'd bat Marsh at 6 if I had to.
And plus now Khawaja won't be back again I guarantee you they will phase him out
Who says he'll bat 3? He averages 49 as an opener and 54 batting at 5. If he's playing anywhere it'll be at one of those positions.

Given they dropped Khawaja in Sri Lanka and brought him back for the first test in Aus and given that CA pay him like 2 million a year why would they do that?

And what about Mitch
Yes he's a superb T20 player but a bad test player
Shaun did do well in the ODI tho
Don't think you'll get too many arguments about Mitch, he's been piss poor as a test player.

But you're making a fool out of yourself by saying Shaun hasn't taken his chances.

Well how many chances has he had
He's been good as of 2013/14
But before that he was a flog
ffs, so he has been good for 3/4 seasons (u saying this) and you dont want him in the team. We havent exactly been a great test team that can just say no to a player that averages over 40

The wicket looks fairly green in the photo's and we've had just 8 overs of spin. Disappointing.

I actually don't mind this side now that M Marsh is out of it. Replace Bird with Starc and I'd be happy to go into the first test with that team.

This is why we went to the UAE for preparation wasn't it? Because last time they prepared pitches not like the test ones?

Smarsh going along merrily as expected by most of us.

Could Renshaw be in danger of losing his spot to Khawaja for the first test after only scoring 11? Would seem a bit knee-jerk, I expect they'll at least give him a test.
