What suggests Sydney will be any better? If we are picking an opener for the future i would gamble on someone else before him.

Such as?

Konstas is in the side and the cupboard was bare enough we promoted a middle-order bat the last time round.

Which is why i am not certain Ussie goes yet, if he does going back to the guy who just got dropped for nothing being up to it without going back and playing shield cricket seems stupid.

IF they are certain they need to make the change i would have more confidence in Hunt over Sydney.
 
still reckon there was backdoor agreement that ussie gets a farewell test in scg told to retire and sydney comes back in for Sri lanka....we will see
I can't see the selectors wanting to go to Sri Lanka with two newbies opening. Have either McSweeney or Konstas played a match of any type on the subcontinent?
 
Australian fans have not turned up today, but the Indians have. Feels like an India home game which makes Siraj’s shush gesture all the more silly
Indian fans will turn up to all five days.
Most Aussie fans will go to one day.

Also odds on Archer/Wood playing many of those tests?
What suggests he wouldn't?....we know ussie is struggling and is only getting older thats what is happening atm ...reflexes will drop ...I know you like ussie Iceman and so do I but its time

time to back in the younger generation....Sydney was unfairly treated and made a scapegoat

the longer he stays out of the side the longer it will take him to get back in

He was not treated unfairly, he was dreadful and got dropped. Maybe maybe could have been given an extra test or two but really he was not made a scapegoat.

This also has nothing to do with me liking Usman, it is entirely on who we have to replace him. If i felt we had anyone who warranted that spot i would gladly make the move.
 
Smith usually excels when every other batsmen around him is struggling.
Is what made him a modern legend. He almost single handedly dug us out of hole after hole from about 2014-18 then 2019. Some said his 2019 Ashes was the greatest ever, eclipsing even The Don.

I will never understand why an umpire gives it not out, you challenge it and fail, and then retain the review. Ridiculous.

Because they challenged it and were correct in that the ball was hitting the stumps, why should you lose a review when it should have been out?
