Nah. He's locked in, plus he'll play the A tour.Gonna be a batoff when both are in England. Foolish deision to not take a county deal by Harris.

You think he is locked into the X1? Not sure about that, was pretty poor against a weakened SL team. And Burns did score a 174 in the most recent test. Theyw ill both be on the plane. E.g. if Harris does really bad on the A tour and Burns does really good, obviously Burns will play and Harris won'tNah. He's locked in, plus he'll play the A tour.

Harris will play the First Test, guaranteed. But if he’s clearly struggling after two Tests, they need to change tack quickly, not drag it out and risk the series. He has a weakness that has been exposed, if England exploit it successfully, mix it up.
He was locked in even before the Shield matchHe's locked into the squad.
Slashing outside off stump, getting caught around pointWhat is the weakness.
So if the Sri Lankan team was poor why write off Harris based on that series while talking up others for making 100s against a weak side.You think he is locked into the X1?

Because he capitalised on it. What does it say if you are weak against weak bowlers? You can only score runs from the bowlers put in front of you and that is what Burns did. In any case, l actually want Harris in the X1 against the poms, but he needs to play well against the swinging ballSo if the Sri Lankan team was poor why write off Harris based on that series while talking up others for making 100s against a weak side.
The alternatives for his spot in Burns and Bancroft have flaws in their game as well.Slashing outside off stump, getting caught around point
Yes, everyone has flaws in their game. But Harris's is particularly concerning if the ball is swinging.The alternatives for his spot in Burns and Bancroft have flaws in their game as well.
You don't have questions over Burns around offstump when the ball is moving??Yes, everyone has flaws in their game. But Harris's is particularly concerning if the ball is swinging.
Everyone in Australia has questions over them around offstump whent he ball is moving. It is about the best performer at the time. Harris getting 100 would help a lot but it will be the performances in England that will count the mostYou don't have questions over Burns around offstump when the ball is moving??
Discussion over the 7 middle order spots would be interesting. I'd say Khawaja, Paine and Smith are locked in. Which leaves 4 spots between:
Head, Patterson, Wade, Pucovski, Carey, Labuschagne, Stoinis, Maxwell.
Obviously one will be between Carey and Wade for the reserve keeper. Head probably gets in due to weight of runs in the Australian summer. Labuschagne's return to the Shield did himself no favours. For me you select the first three and then one of Puck, Stoin and Maxy
Disagree. Harris is very frustrating, but his biggest issue is waving the bat at wide balls that don't need to be hit. That should be able to be coached out of him.Yes, everyone has flaws in their game. But Harris's is particularly concerning if the ball is swinging.
Maxwell should be in the squad but it’s clear the selectors don’t want him playing red ball and he didn’t get the chance to pile on red ball runs, so he’s well back in the pack, for mine. Pucovski struggled for one week in Queensland, I’m not sending him to England for two months.Select one out of Puck,Stoinis and Maxi.Maxi should be a certainty
Patto is on the plane (provided he stays fit).
Do not write off Siddle either,could be a very handy bowler under English conditions.
Pattoman would bowl well until he got injured on day 2 and Siddle would just get carted, then Richo would would crumble under the pressure of having to carry the attack as a young bloke.A Richardson, Pattinson, Siddle bowling partnership would probably do better than the first choice attack in England
