The 20 extras would not have been 20 extra balls. Some of them would have been multiple wides in 1 ball.

I forgot Bancroft and Labuschagne were competing for the same spot.
That horrible square cut with no foot movement that Harris scores bucket loads of runs playing at the MCG is basically the reason I have gone with Bancroft over him. Don't think he will get away with playing that shot in England. Didn't even get away with playing it on the Manuka highway against SL when there was the tiniest bit of assistance early for the bowlers. If he can put that shot away he should do ok.

Not long now. The Root factor will be so so crucial. Was obviously so important last year but he is no where near the form he was last time. In 2014 he averaged 97 and in 2015 he averaged 60. He's averaging mid 20s this year and 41 last year. We also won't have the same situation as last time where we lock ourselves into one bowler like we did last time with Johnson and Starc.
Interested in those with more cricket knowledge than myself does Wade play or not my mate who thinks he's Mr cricket says he's only there as 2nd keeper I'm no Wade fan but I'd play him he's been in great nick for a while

He’s going to bat 6. Basically is a pure batsman now.
So you think he gets the nod tomorrow Luke
All the media reports point to yes, although JL has remained tight-lipped on the final team so not entirely sure where the information is coming from.

Just read Shaw from India copping a ban for drug violation.
I suspect he is largely there as a second keeper, a role he must never take, but might play as a batsman. I would have him in, but really 3-4 of the top six spots are very debatable. Only Warner, Smith and if fit probably Khawaja, would be certainties.
Someone should send his statement to Swimming Australia and say "this is how you do it".Just read Shaw from India copping a ban for drug violation.

Might be a test where its best to lose the toss..
It will be tricky to decide to bat or bowl first , just like last time.

He was also given the all clear by the medical team so where is the doubt?
Huss was making that many runs his age became irrelevant. Wade in the other hand has had one good year
Age is never relevant for Test selection, or should not be anyway.

He's there as a bat, the fact he can keep means they didn't have to use up a squad spot on a second keeper and allowed them to shore up the weakest part of the team.
Really???????
Not really a road if he’s the only one making runs on it.
I’m far from a fan of Wade, but there isn’t anyone who deserves another shot at test cricket as much as he does through sheer weight of runs.

In an emergency. They don't need a specialist keeper when it takes no time to fly Carey over, and Wade or Bancroft can fill in for an afternoon. How often do keepers get replaced anyway.

Looks like Patto has got the nod which is fantastic. Can’t wait to see him fire up for us again.
It’ll most likely mean Starc misses out as both he and Pattinson are burst type bowlers and can’t be relied on to bowl long spells. The only way I see them both in the team is if Marsh comes in but that’s unlikely
Siddle, Cummins, Pattinson for mine with Bancroft and Wade the other multiple choice selections

So then his age became relevant?
