Why is Sundaram Ravi such an inconsistent decision maker? Gives Siddle not out when it was dead plumb yet gives Payne out when it was clipping. Mediocre umpire, yet still not as bad as Chris Gaffaney.
However this is an awful display of batting.
Who would you pick in their stead?
Renshaw isnt a number 4-6.
Fact is our best 4 is on a yrs hiatus.
5-6 is up for grabs.
And Laub and Head arent hammering the door down- cupboard is bare.
he's played 6 shield games at an average of 30, settle backI asked before but got no response. Pucovski is currently 232 not out in Perth. What sort of player is he?

We're not spoilt for riches. But Renshaw at 3 and Maxwell 4 are no brainers. Sean never makes anything away from 5 and Mitch would have to be just about the worst number 4 in the history of the game of test status nations.Idk why people think we are spoilt with riches. We aren't.
The fact that we drew a test without the No. 2 batsman in the world, a lot of new players, a new captain really is an accomplishment. Of course I would have liked to see Australia to do better but Pakistan are extremely tough at their cricket home.
Laub has shown he can bowl which is handy, Head had a great 2nd innings knock, Finchy has had solid innings across the board, Khawaja and Paine saved Australia, and Mitch is better than most bats that we have. Shaun has been a bit poor but has Shield before the INdian series to get back into it. If not someone else will take his spot but no one has like 50+ averages like 15-20 years ago.
This was always going to be a tough series.

There is no new talent. It all gets lost to T20 cricket.That's not what I asked. I'm asking what he's like. We badly need new talent.
Good to see him making big runs and just being healthy generally. Big future?Gun who has a history of concussions and both first class centuries have been big ones
And to CA/Langer for leaving Maxwell and Renshaw out for spuds like M Marsh.Just fills you with pride this batting lineup. Thanks a lot to the 3 cheats.

On the other hand, look a bit further east to what just happened over there, against a better side than Pakistan. Let’s forget for a moment Khawaja. That he is test class is a given.
Kieron Powell got within a few good blows of a century.
Roston Chase hit a century and a 50.
Jason Holder hit a rearguard half-century.
Shai Hope got a handful of starts, Shane Dowrich played a crucial back-to-the-wall innings alongside chase.
Chase got a couple of important wickets.
Gabriel bowled ok, Holder took a five wicket haul, West Indies managed to get India from 4-308 to 360 all out.
If you looo hard enough, absolutely you can find some positives and some signs that point towards optimism, but if it doesn’t lead to a positive result then all you’re left with is optimism.
That’s not an attempt to somehow claim that Australia is playing on the same level as the WI by any means, they’ve clearly got more going for them.
But picking out different elements of good performance doesn’t immediately make this side, without Smith and Warner, better than it actually is.
So you have a 23 year old who averages 36 (playing much of his test cricket in the subcontinent), a 26 year old who averages 26, and a 35 year old who averages 36... who do you select?
Seriously such bullshit. Renshaw and Australian fans deserve better than this disgusting favouritism. I find this crap more disenfranchising than the ball tampering saga.
Id much rather a genuine number 6 batsman than M Marsh.And to CA/Langer for leaving Maxwell and Renshaw out for spuds like M Marsh.
