[Skarrz]

Dur

What is this pc crap

 

[Wolfs]

Really Warner? I know you're safe but come on. lol

 

[bird_man]

Smith gone for FA, Khawaja the only test player to make runs...

 

[ICCHILL007]

With Australia struggling so much with the batting in the middle order , replacing Neville with a good batsman has to a priority , you could carry Neville if our batting was strong but it's not ! At the moment the focus needs to be strengthening the middle order , let a batsman keep wickets for now , bring in hanscomb , white and maxwell , maxwell can come in for Lyon as Lyon never takes any wickets anyway ....

get dougy to steam in with the pink ball this next test , he is bowling well and won't drop his head , mennie would struggle to make my third eleven .....

Warner
Renshaw

A side can always have one pick for the future , a bit of a gamble , throw Maddison into the fire and give him a game , see how he goes ....

 

[ICCHILL007]

Unleash the X factor , the unpredictable - put Cummings in , tell him to ball short quick spells at the head to shake up SA , why not ....

 

[JackOutback]

Fairly sure we will see Warner, Burns, Khawaja, Smith, Ferguson, Handscomb, Nevill, Starc, Hazlewood, Mennie, Lyon.

Burns gets one final chance simply because the most likely opener in Bancroft is in terrible form, and Renshaw and Deam are too raw. If he fails, he might not get a look in for a long time. Either way, SMarsh will take his spot back for the First Test against Pakistan. Ferguson and Mennie won't get dropped after one Test and probably shouldn't; they were picked for a reason and one Test doesn't eliminate all those reasons. It would be very reactionary.

 

[JT_the_Man]

No to White.

No to White. Good that White is scoring runs but like just don't see the need for him at the moment.

I can definitely see where you are coming from. Just need someone scoring runs to fill that position.

Scotty Cummings? He's no good as a bowler.

Shocking side .... Pretty much the same as the side that has not been competitive , many changes need to be made , shake it up and come out firing with players in good form , going into the game with those out of form players you listed will mean a guaranteed loss !

Handscomb

And since we picked Ferguson based on four solid shield season we should give him a few more tests

I liked Stephen Cummings in The Sports, not so much the Test team.

need someone to shake things up like Johnson did , get some quick balls into the ribs and head area

Cummins, predictive text error

 

[Wolfs]

Patterson's time to shine. Everyone else bar Handscombe failed.

 

[rippersnipper]

Person?

Night watch people have feelings too

Khawaja made a ton. The more I think about it, the more I reckon we'll go with something like:

Khawaja
Warner
Smith
Handscomb
Patterson
White
Agar
Nevill
Starc
Hazlewood
Bird

Also predictive post when wanting to pick bowlers

The selectors are not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater; people might not like it, but playing a whole bunch of unproven kids is equally shocking.

Keep thinking then - the chances of the selectors picking a team like this is basically zero. Agar is injured for a start

Should be fit for the test match.
