David Warner

[JackOutback]

Whiteman is too inconsistent, for mine. Similar to Bancroft and Harris, reckon you'd get a feast or famine record, leaning more towards famine.

Surely they're not going to make Head open, that would be a shocking thing to do to him after that dropping. It's not hard, Head in for Warner and Renshaw opens. If Green is back and can bowl play him instead of Handscomb and play Cummins, Starc (hopefully), Lyon and Murphy.

They ****ed the selection up bad for Test 1, I really hope they dont do it again. I work with a few Indian blokes and they thought it was hilarious we dropped Head, they couldn't figure it out (I can't either).

Reckon Handscomb deserves to hold his place ahead of Renshaw, but it leaves you with the same issue of who opens if Green and Head come in for Warner and Renshaw.

Absolutely, that's why I reckon the option is to open with Renshaw.

Who gets the equivalent to 10 test matches to prove themselves?

The last opener did basically. Whoever replaces Warner give them a reasonable go unlike Langer

 

[The 747]

You don't support those sides. Not sure what's that's got to do with it in the context but we'll let Du Plessis ; Philander; Dravid and Afridi off because you don't support the countries that they come from.

The 2005 England team - all good. Nothing to see there.

You should hold the same contempt for this named above as you do for Bancroft; Warner and Smith. Their either all cheats or their not (or they tried to cheat or bend the rules).

How about you don't try and tell other people what to do and think? Done with this conversation with you.

 

[The 747]

Nah not really just bancroft and whiteman from wa could be in the mix along with renners hunt puck harris to replace warner

you obviously think bancroft is a cheat so whiteman is another option for you

Well what I think of Bancroft doesn't matter in terms of his selection.

But yes he is a cheat.

Same as Warner and Smith

 

[corbies]

Same as Warner and Smith

And Hashim Amla because he was captain of the team when Vernon Philander ball tampered.

 

[Gough]

Nobody remembers Dyson for his batting average.

 

[The 747]

Yes, but one player took the action.

good openers are hard to find.

some of the below were persisted with for too long.

since 79/80 all openers that played a fair proportion of their career there.

Playing premier cricket in Melbourne currently.

Hope he's going ok.

Would love to see him back in the test side (eventually).

 

[Hawk Since Birth]

Nobody remembers Dyson for his batting average.

He was a teacher at a mates school. He used to have his Australian helmet sitting proudly in his car for all to see.

 

[1990crow]

Has anyone asked Candice if we can drop Davy?

 

[doggies ftw]

He’s gonna flipping play isn’t he

Might be in her book after her chapter on SBW…should be a good read for Warner

Pucovski last round he got 18 no batting at 4,team chasing 160 odd which they got.Current round the opposition batted all day last week and he will hopefully get a bat tomorrow.

 

[Gavin Excell]

He’s gonna *ing play isn’t he

Reckon is a dead cert of being picked

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Watch us pick the useless mug and leave Head out again. These selectors are very stubborn at the best of times.

Gut feel

In Green and Kuhermann
Out Renshaw, Boland.

I think this is the most likely outcome.

For someone who wants to be treated with more respect its amazing she wants to go back over that old story.

I'm sure she won't go into detail but it's not great listening for her children and husband.

If that's the best content she has to fall back onto then she will really struggle when Dave is out of the test team.

Out Boland is a little harsh but expected.The one that should be dropped is Cummins but will never happen because he is captain.

Don’t need more than 1 quick. I’d play Starc over Cummins purely because he can bat a bit but honestly no more picking half fit blokes please

Scandals sells books…her PR would had told her that’s the best way to drive up interest

But geez they love the attention atm
