Surely there’s a Baggy Green waiting for him in a few days now.

This will sound silly but depends whether Warner is fit. Doubt they will go two blokes on debut when Burns is as scratchy as anything.

the way burns got out surely is sending yet another warning to the selectors.

At least puk flushed one. Burns got out fending off a delivery from a bog medium pacer.

Just can’t see Burns not playing especially if Warner is out

yeah i'm sure they'll pick him but he is obviously totally out of nick.

I think they would have picked him regardless of Warner's injury.

Lets just be thankful some Marsh bloke or Bancroft aren’t in the squad!

140+ is medium now? Christ
 
His technique and temperament is so far superior to Head’s its not funny. I know Head hasn’t done much wrong (or Wade for that matter) but I’d drop either of them in a heartbeat for Green. His batting is the real deal and any bowling in the next year or two is just a bonus.
 
Good news for Green Hohns and Bailey seen leaving early....Hopefully going to see Langer.....Justin this kid need to play

For
He currently is in the best six bats in the country

He bowls 140 clicks and has tremendous bounce enough to trouble the Indians...who cares if he can only bowl 8 eight overs in the innings....that's eight overs of 140 plus from a number six something we are not getting atm

He is a smooth mover in the field with a good set of hands

Against
Nothing

I agree with you IF Warner is playing. Just can't see them picking two rookies plus Burns in our top order in a pink ball test.

i'm not sure why Head is an automatic selection. He gets bowled far too often for a top order batsman. He does have age on his side but geez his technique does not look like a top line batsman. Didn't really look like it in england. Averages 41 partially because he filled his boots against two rather shit teams (NZ and SL) which still isn't great.

if we want to be a dominant team we can't have a top order with Burns, Head and Wade in it.

Head doesn’t bat in the top order. Neither does Wade.

If we're discounting runs against NZ then there aren't many runs in Test cricket that count.

we won all those tests by almost 300 runs. Scoring runs at home against NZ shouldn't be cementing your spot. NZ have won 2 away test matches in the last 20 years against quality opposition (1 against us, 1 against england).

This kid is the most exciting prospect I have seen in a long time. I reckon he'd be an insane AFL player too if he'd gone that way. What a specimen!
 
Now has added to his game by dismissing both openers. If he is not playing the 1st test then the selectors need replacing.
 
His second wicket was really clever. Gill was playing aggressively and slashing at anything wide, and successfully. Bowls another one that's a cuttable length but this time he's wide on the crease, angling it in. Gill's eyes light up but it cramps him and he's forced to spoon it upwards.

Very clever bowling.

Yep - ball cut back in as well - which is why Gill was moving to square leg as the ball got too close to cut.

The extra bounce made it then hit the top of the bat.
 
His cover driving, down on one knee, reminds me of the way Kim Hughes used to do it.
Maybe Green doesn't hold the pose as long,but awesome to watch.If selected he will not bowl very many overs.But gee how handy will his bowling be.
But then they say his bowling is better than his batting.
I look forward to seeing him in his Baggy green in the first test.

Just get him integrated and in the side and up and running for South Africa.

Literally the perfect tour to be going in with a 4th seamer option that can bat 5/6.

Green will look like Morkel bowling on the Wanderers at 6"7 @ 140kph.....

If he plays India + South Africa he's got sufficient experience for the pressure cooker of an Ashes series in 12 months.
