Give it a few years and Australia will be the 8th-10th ranked test side

Idiotic take

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Goodwin made 139 today ...averaging about 85 this Shield season at a guess .

Games against SA don't count.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Labs form slump started when they started picking him in the ODI side as well, should be been purely a Test specialist.

 

[Westend]

Personally I would have Head opening but that is not going to happen but neither is Smith in at 3

smudge has batting 3 before but yes we could go head open to attack...might as well and mcsweeney goes to 3 inglis goes to 5

happy with that either way

 

[Stiffler's Dad]

And you say this on what basis?

You are kidding right?

[MarcMaverick]

MacDonald is a players coach that’s what the players wanted he won’t do shit

He is their mate.

 

[foxdog50]

inglis comes in for marnus

Marnus needs to be dropped.. but honestly there is 0% chance of selectors doing this. As the Selectors are to blame as well..

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

My god some of the hand wringing in here is ridiculous. Get a Hold of yourselves!

 

[Jimthegreat]

Inglis isn't a number 3

Opener in, McSweeney where he should be at 3. Hoping Hunt goes on an makes a good score. He's on 41no from 4/68. Given how Morris and Richardson have bowled he's going well. May as well have faced the Indian attack the way they are bowling. So far at least.

 

[The King!]

Can't drop a guy playing like utter sh*t because we'll just assume he will regain form at some point...for 6 years.

I am curious as to where this bulletproof logic ends. If in 3 years of him still being useless do you go 'nah, we need for the next 3 years'?

Or do you just drop an out of form player and let him try to find confidence and form before bringing him back?

I wouldn't have thought this is a serious question.

What?


I was only talking about Marnus and someone said what about Smith. Wasn't looking to apply any logic at all nor did I say someone can't be dropped.

Putting it all aside they won't drop two batsmen at once anyway (will they even drop one) so if I had to drop Marnus or Smith, I think i'd go Marnus .

 

[Doggy]

England will be laughing tonight. Bring on the Ashes they say!

They'll still get belted

 

[hawkman]

Idiotic take

7th isn't out of the question but we won't fall below Bangladesh and West Indies

3downlol

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

You pick a full time opener not someone who has never opened...how do the selectors not know this??? Ok Harris isn't a super star that will end up averaging 60.... but he deserves his chance after many years making runs at the top of the order.

Failed today in shield cricket. His form is not great currently.

Indeed.

 

[The King!]

It is when they need red ball form. Not against him playing a second x1 game though if that’s the plan

Right now any form would do, either way no reason not to drop him

Bit like when smith changed his game to adapt to t20

 

[Gavin Excell]

Comes out, team in the shitter, starts being a bit lippy, "No run!!!" and...

Gone not offering a shot within 5 balls. Then burns a review despite being plum.

Embarrassing.

The most selfish self obsessed Australian cricketer since Steve Waugh

 

[Garf]

Didn't that statue that masquerades as a coach say we'd see a different Marnus in the second dig?

Well his run rate was much better.

 

[apollo_creed]

This is the probably the most unlikeable Aussie team. Soft, entitled, snobby having achieved nothing and woke. Give me the aggressive, barking, in your face, sandpapering team under Boof and Clarke every day.

Achieved nothing? Woke?
They won a world cup and a world test championship and are literally the number one side in the world.

Go to your maga/old man yelling at clouds convention.

Longing for the good old days under Michael Clarke is probably a good indication of how far Australian cricket has fallen

 

[new breed]

Averages 27 across 13 innings in FC. He ain’t the solution.

Not this season though , made two tons and 85 in great form at Number 3 .

 

[Snake Charmer]

Nope
