Smith should whisper in Webster's ear:

"38 is your target big fella"

And he gets there while barely raising a sweat... or even looking very interested!
 
Openers need work. Boon and Taylor bated in harder conditions, that’s just modern players, and I’d have Bradman at 4.
I'm of the opinion you just play your best team and try to fit them all in.

Who you bringing into open? You're sacrificing a bloke who averaged 53+, forget balance, it's just better. Don't mind your move of Bradman to 4, but was told in no uncertain terms that wasn't an option by the ACB. Sir Donald may have had a quiet word.

He certainly wouldn’t want a catholic batting before him! :)
I guess the opening positions are a timeless argument. I think you play your best team for the conditions and the opponents when it comes to them. We’ve seen the influence on that in this series.
But I’m old school, the openers are there to protect the actual batsmen from the new ball, everything else is a bonus.
 

Would help if he didn't suddenly develop ADHD and start creating special challenges for himself after making it to around 120. Great batsman, genuinely looks at times like he gets bored with what's going on out there. The ball he got out on was the first ball he actually looked troubled by

Typically agree. But I can't have Langer over Ian's Brother, Greg. Won't have it. Greg will open with Matthew Hayden. And that's that.

It is my team and we'll do it my way.

...

Sir Don was a Protestant wasn't he? Nobody is perfect.

Woodfull, Ponsford, Morris, and Lawry all great openers for Australia.

Miller should be an automatic selection.

Mark Waugh was the worst for that. Make a hundred, job done. I may be wrong, but his top score was just over his first ton.

I wrestled with Keith. Went to the same school as old mate, he's definitely 12th man and Grimmett 13th for mine.

Langer begged, oh did he beg, but I wouldn't allow his nonsense to infiltrate the group; 13 not 14 members in the squad."Rules are Rules, Justin".

one of our best exports to Aussie alongside Phar lap, Russell Crowe and Joh Bjelke Peterson :cool:

Tiger O'Reilly's not happy.
