A fair bit of mail around that Wade will replace Neville. I can see the reasoning behind, especially if we are to have a brand new 6 and 7, but am a little surprised at the same time.

I don't think there's any doubt they'll pick 4 quicks and 2 spinners and delay the decision til later in the week.

Think that would be a great side.

Although having a average glove man in India may hurt us. In saying that Nevill can't play just as a keeper

Middle-order needs a shake-up. Makes sense IMO.

"Since then he hasn't touched a drop of alcohol". The most used sentence in Australian sports journalism.

Except for when they are talking about other journos. I wish some of our media wouldn't give the piss so much of a nudge.

 

[Scorpus]

Patterson out for 1, although his previous form is fine
Smith pretty disappointing as well
Ferguson out for 4 again is not a good sign

Have a look at the ball
Unplayable

Which one?

 

[JG22]

Which one?

Sorry, Patterson.

Ferguson should be gone

i dont mind Wade getting a go...provided it isnt an excuse to play Mitch Marsh or Henriques or some other shitty all-rounder. we need the stability in the middle order.

Wade got moved up and down the batting and never really had a chance to settle and was crucified in the media for every mistake he made.
conversely people seem to be falling over themselves to make excuses for Nevill. Wade may not be the best gloveman in the country but i dont think Nevill is either.

I think we are zero chance to play an all rounder. Clearly none of them are at test standard. Too many promisingly young batsmen around at the moment to ignore them.

 

[BluesMan]

plenty of talk that patterson, handscomb, wade, bird all play. possibly renshaw too

 

[Hellgood]

Lyon has surely got to have played himself out of the lineup by now.

 

[eth-dog]

Reckon we give Lyon one more game since Agar was injured for this game.

that hasnt stopped them before. i recall Henriques batting at 5, Maxwell batting at 3 and Mitch Marsh played how many tests?
remember they want to be able to get overs out of someone in the top 6 (or at least the old selection panel did)

but yeah, i reckon you're right. pretty sure we'll go with 6 batsmen.

Wow.

 

[nobbyiscool]

It's a shame that we don't have 1, let alone 2 good quality spin bowlers. If we did I would be really comfortable playing Wade at 6, Faulkner at 7, 2 spinners and Hazelwood and Starc. Shame Agar was injured - I might've even been comfortable with Wade at 6, Faulkner 7 and Agar 8 (then 3 quicks).

That said, Whiteman's batting form is well-timed. I think he might be a little stiff that he doesn't even seem in consideration.

Talk or speculation?

im not sold on Renshaw and if Mennie was our 3rd best quick last week then i reckon he's still our 3rd best now.
...but **** it, why not.

they cant do any worse can they?

Yuck.

 

[Damon_3388]

If we're looking to change the third paceman (which I doubt we will, if Mennie has been rested from Shield), what puts Jackson Bird ahead of Chris Tremain at the moment?

Bird's carrying Tassie arm.

 

[bird_man]

Plenty of talk on the radio that Maddinson may have been give the nod for a test spot? That is a strange decision if true. I'd have Patterson miles ahead of him and than even Lehman before him.

Bird was 12th man last game.
He's next in line.
