Out - Mitch Marsh
In - Big Show and his bag of tricks.
No.

In: Playing shots

Out: Forward defence when the game's on the line.

In essence two bad decisions cost us.

1. The farcical Warner DRS that was given out.

2. Smith not reviewing Marsh.
 
Australia need the extra bat desperately. Going in with 4 bats and an all rounder that has barely bowled is pointless.

Actually agree with the Maxwell inclusion. Khawaja is questionable to spin and you may need some overs at some point from a 5th bowler.

M.Marsh out for Maxwell.
 
We didn't get anything from M Marsh in that test. He's too straight up and down and is more a stock bowler, that might be ok when we don't have 2 spinners and on a road, but it's not needed in India. Faulkner and his cutters could have been a handful and better option on that pitch. Alas we don't have that option or any real option within the squad to replace M Marsh. Khawaja has been terrible against spin in the past, so that leaves Maxwell. At the very least Maxwell will offer us more in the field and as seen with Starc if his batting comes off a quick fire 40-50 in a low scoring game would be crucial.

Reality
Out
M Marsh
In
Usman

I'ld also consider bringing in a wicket keeper who can make a run and is a decent wicket keeper, revolutionary i know but i think we should try....

What CA will do

Out-M Marsh
In - POS Maxwell
Handscomb can keep, let's just give him the gloves and bring in 2 more batsmen.

Ps. Travis Head should be batting at 6, let alone not even in the f'en squad!
 
Same change I wanted for the 2nd test... Out M.Marsh in Khawaja.

Also could benefit from flying over another keeper...
 
Probably the only change that's worth making is the #6 position.

Mitch Marsh is being underused and is not Test-class anyway.

I think Khawaja is much more likely to bat sensibly than Maxwell, but he has serious issues against spin bowling. Tough call.
 
Handscomb can keep, let's just give him the gloves and bring in 2 more batsmen.

Technically Handscomb can keep, So can I,

Neither should happen. Im always in favour of a proper keeper, Liked Neville, Eventually im in favour of Whiteman comming in

But honestly, **** it, Handscomb can average more then 20, may as well give another batsmen a crack
