Burns and Wade is a huge mistake. Harris stiff

In the context of having Burns playing in front of him he is very stiff

Extremely stiff, made more in 1 innings than Burns has for the entire summer

So are India if Shaw plays ahead of Shubman Gill
2nd
Yet you want the bowlers changed because incumbency doesn’t suit there!

Burns playing is actually unbelievable, you could pick every other opener in state cricket over him at the moment and you’d be better off. The guy is so horrendously out of form and confidence it’s not funny.
Legit borderline angry at the insanity of him playing.

Where do I want the bowlers changed? Starc, Cummins and Hazelwood are certain starters.

Backing the openers to last half a session as ugly as it may be. Not as if Harris won't flash at one anyway and probably nick off.

Death, taxes and LP being a hypocrite
Pattinson is the incumbent

Only because Starc was rested (which was beyond dumb!). As if we aren't playing our best pink ball bowler. If Starc bowls rubbish in Adelaide by all means play Pattinson in Melbourne. He gets the conditions he excels at in Adelaide but he's no moral for the whole series, needs to perform. The other two are our best two quicks by a mile.

Hazlewood didn't play
Starc also played the last game alongside Patto and Cummins
But you’re right, Hazlewoods average of 0.13 better than Patto makes him a far superior bowler...

That's right new it was one of them. Was still stupid. Resting bowlers in an Ashes don't get me started.

Hazelwod gives us variety as a tall bowler who can bowl long spells you need that. Would easily be the second picked behind Cummins. Starc gets the first test, it's a pink ball test and the bloke is elite at them. However if he doesn't bowl well drop him for Melbourne, no issues.

So we have a guy averaging almost 70 over the last 3 shield seasons as an opener who got 91 runs at 30 in the lead up games on tricky wickets.
But we don't pick him and instead go for a guy who has never opened in first class cricket in his life to partner a guy who has scored 61 runs at under 7 this season. That's insane and Harris should be disgusted.
