You suggesting forcing Lyon into retirement?... won't happen lol.

Bangladesh they'll likely pick 2 spinners.. Lyon and Kuhnemann

Head
Renshaw
Labs
Smith
McSweeney
Green
Carey
Starc
Cummins
Lyon
Kuhnamann

would be my Bangladesh first XI.

The games against Bangladesh are in Queensland?

It's time we look to move on from Lyon as injury prone & also whilst still have an experienced pace attack.

Need to be thinking transition.

2 spinners in darwin and mackay ?

When there is a viable alternative killing it the shield not averaging under 40 and don't say renners he is an opener

and based upon the logic in this thread if you are going to drop green who made 37 took a wicket and was 22 not out at the end in a tricky chase in his last test...you would have to drop weathers and marnus who has not scored a ton for years

and with Macca wanting carey at six its a perfect opportunity for webbie to bat seven and with ussie gone green can settle at number 5 and stop being being moved around every test from 3-8 which has stuffed him up these last 12 months

Renshaw bats in the middle order for qld. On what universe is he a top order bat only?

Also weatherald and labs will likely be dropped (or at least should be) but this has nothing to do with green as they compete for different spots (unless you are suggesting green will open or bat 3).

Webster and green are both not needed in the same side and Webster is currently a better option for the allrounder slot.

I assumed they were away.

I assumed they were away.

we have some white ball games about a month or so before the test series over there in bangladesh though.

Sadly with the SA tour coming fast they won't drop Green as they rate his bowling over Beaus, Would take 4 failures In the top end for him to get dropped. Sigh

what game you watching Renners has scored this year for qld opening

green will bat 5 come banglesdesh and webbie will be seven simple

well to be fair webbies mediums where basically throw downs and his spin he got his first wicket off a no ball which was not called the 2nd to a great catch to green..good work greenie...and his 3rd to a one legged stokes

webbie keep working on his offies will be great come india

I guess you have a 'fair' excuse for Webster making a higher score (and not out) the one innings he played than any Green did all series too? Give us a spell.

Marnus was dropped, earned his way back and made 2 50’s. Should still be under pressure but not the same.

Weathers played 5 tests not almost 40

Green 1st test 1st innings
1 over 10 runs economy 10

Green first test 2nd innings
2 overs 13 runs economy 6.5

Green 2nd test 1st innings
8 overs 43 runs economy 5.7

Green 2nd test 2nd innings
5 overs 15 runs economy 3

Green 3rd test 1st innings
11 overs 33 runs (1st wicket) economy 3

Green 3rd test 2nd innings
10 overs 44 runs 4.4 Economy

Green 4th test 1st innings
0.5 overs 1 wicket 0 runs

Green 4th test 2nd innings
N/A

Green 5th test 1st innings
18 overs 1 wicket 85 runs 4.72 economy

Green 5th test 2nd innings
6 overs 40 runs economy 6.66

He finished with 4 wickets at an average of 70 and an economy of 4.5

His bowling is not at all a justification to stay on the team

Renshaw opened the last 4 matches in Sheild scoring 3 hundreds

 

[rank and file]

Interesting to see how he goes with the bat here.
3 catches and 1 over should be feeling fresh and confident.

Unless Captain Travball gets all the runs.

 

[rank and file]

HIm and Renshaw lookin pretty comfortable.

 

[rank and file]

Needs a not out now lol

 

[rank and file]

Wow snicko off the hand is a first.
2 run outs for Green.

His white ball batting is fine. Not something that needs to be worried about at all

His long form cricket is a particularly big concern because he is completely lost in his thought processes and doesn’t know how to build an innings

For sure,just let him bat and field in the WC.
Won't have to bowl.

Bump

 

[Mighty Eagles]

He should play for WA in our next Shield match, which starts on March 5 against Queensland. He needs to find some touch in first-class cricket and should play for WA.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Renshaw opened the last 4 matches in Sheild scoring 3 hundreds

Renshaw went to the middle order when he was averaging 20 over 3 shield seasons

 

[Tandy]

This guy is a spud
Why is he not playing shield cricket for WA?
Is everyone worried he’s going to stink it up and they’ll actually be forced to drop him from the test squad?

Potentially

It's laughable. I can live with Head and Smith being rested, don't agree with it (think it would be good for the next in line to play against our best players) but they have form and understand their game well enough that they probably don't need to be playing shield cricket to improve

Green getting a rest (and read that Inglis is getting rested too) makes absolutely no sense. They have looked pretty lost in the last Test series and need to be playing as much four day cricket as possible to rediscover their game and processes. Neither have made a contribution in six months, why would they need to rest?

its a disgrace

This article suggests that he is being "held back" for "workload and preparation management", without actually confirming it as far as I can tell.

It seems a bit odd to me, it's not as if he has been overworking himself in the run scoring department. You'd think the more time he spends in match conditions, the better.
