It's in australias best interests to play Bangladesh.

Over there? Jeez not sure I particularly want to lose tests.

Nothing locked in at all.
1-Warner
2-Renshaw
3-Khawaja
4-Smith
5-Handscomb
6-Maxwell
Probably the top 6 for now.

Although Cartwright may be a better option in Australian conditions than Maxwell. Tough to drop Maxi after couple decent knocks.

Maxwell only in for Indian conditions. Cartwright has dominated in shield cricket scoring 3 tons in the last 3 games. Should be No 6 in Australia but media will ensure Maxwell is in. Dont get me wrong i believe Maxwell is an amazing talent and hopefully the penny has dropped

It baffles me that Cartwright wasn't selected at the very least in the squad for India. He played the Sydney test and has shown at the moment he's one of the best bats in Australia. I still think that, barring injury, Maxwell now deserves to start at 6 in the next test we play.

All this talk of all rounders needs to acknowledge the most basic thing. What does Steve Smith think of it? Because based on the amount of bowling the all rounders have done under his captaincy I'd say he hates the idea.

We should just pick a proper number 6 batsman since he doesn't trust any of the all rounders to bowl.

Bowling innings last summer:

vs RSA
63, 160
100
76, 85

vs Pakistan
55, 145
126, 53
110, 80

At what point is the workload for 4 bowlers too much?
