Most don't care about the test championship.
Does anyone really think NZ are the best side on the world?
Take a series win every day of the week.

Interesting choice to open with Head instead of Renshaw. Any talk about it on the commentary?
Championships are ranked by the least amount of overs. T20 World Cup or GTFO. Test series or GTFO.
Ashes the pinnacle. India Test series win not far behind, but I prefer beating the poms.
It's a hard call between rolling the poms or the indians theses days.

What a start by Head.
Even Khawaja, as daft as the shot was - you have to praise the intent they came out with.

Loving the intent. The wicket isn’t going to get any easier and Ashwin and Jadeja are too good for the batsmen to sit around and wait to cash in on loose deliveries, so best to just score before you get one with your name on it.

Recon we've seen Dave Warner play his last test.
Surely can't bring him back under done and not inform!

He doesn't seem like the type to know when he's done though. They'll have to push him I think.
Ashes for me always.

I think his plan was always to walk away after India and the Ashes series. Fairly likely that he’s done for this series so I guess the question is, do they let him walk away on his own terms after the Ashes or push him out now. Given his current form I shudder to think about how many times Broad might knock him over in England.

Are there any other options to replace Warner apart from Bancroft at the moment? Would be a very interesting call, given the history.
Renshaw.
Think Hunt had a great shield last year. Reckon Harris will still be around the mark

I think beating India in India is the pinnacle because they’re very good, but moreso because Indian conditions are just so different to Australian conditions. You don’t just need a good side going into India, you need a good strategy with spinners who can turn the ball and extract natural variation, and batters who can stand up to Indian wickets. Warner is one of the best openers of his generation but in India he averages 21 in tests. Cummins is the top-ranked test bowler in the world but he averages 33 bowling in India, which is 50% worse than everywhere else. It’s not enough to have great players, which makes it such a unique challenge.
I wonder if Bangers gets another chance. 30 years old so old but not super old and is leading shield run scorer atm. Not sure we’l take two back up openers to England tbh

Neither Bancroft nor Harris are good enough.
Given Khawaja is 36 also, it’s a bit of an issue in the near future.
