Do people still feel like Head will drop to 5? Yes his struggles as an opener may come later down the track but for now he’s done everything right of the position. Has opened in Australia and the subcontinent and succeeded in that role. South Africa and England will be the test for him but he likes facing the quicks first up preferably than the slower ballers when he first comes in at 5 and he quickly lays a platform for our middle order. I’d be inclined to leave him there while his confidence is high.

Im fine with him batting at 5 or opening, I think it more comes down to whether we can find a suitable opener or 5 easier
want him to succeed but needs to do more. not on his own having a bad run. solid 5th test without being great.
can anyone beat the door down though? webster can roll the arm but green seems like better insurance for the old fast bowlers. webster should have done enough to take over usman's spot unless they want some new faces that are in form.

a utility type player like webster (connolly) may be handy with the way we set up our side in india.
no reason why green, webster, carey can't bat 5,6,7 moving forward, with the traditional 3 quicks and spinner.
if green can just post a few scores of note, he will be off and away.

Coarse got 22 wickets for the series.
A team looking something like the following seems strong enough to challenge most oppositions:
Kellaway (seems next in line) or Renshaw
Head
Labs (maybe?) - Renshaw/McSweeney
Smith
McSweeney or Renshaw
Carey
Green
Webster
Cummins
Starc
Boland/Lyon/Hazlewood
Kuhnemann/Murphy there to rotate in depending on the pitches served up
Batting looks better (Uzzie was pretty much cooked the last two years of this career, while Weatherald probably isn't the answer), while bowling has variety to succeed in all types of conditions.

I'm pleased Green has stepped away from the BBL. It's clear mentally it's been a battle for him this summer.. lets see how he goes moving forward.

Should take a few weeks off playing imo
Link up with his batting coach and spend the time sorting his technique flaws out .
Then get back to playing and get back to making big runs .

He's skipped the BBL to take some time off so that's a start.
But he's then going to the T20 world cup and will be missing shield games
Young Cameron knows where the money is. Maybe he's made his choice in that regard.

I agree with that. Hes definitely good enough for test level but hes really heading downward and keeping him in does no benefit for him or the team. He needs to go away and work on some things and then come back.

South Africa head will really struggle against the moving ball as an opener-although to be fair anyone we pick there (except maybe renshaw but even him) might struggle so they may leave head at the top. Ultimately I think hes a 5 but our lack of openers means we have to be flexible.

He didnt step away he just wasn't signed with a team.
