McSweeney I still think is the frontrunner ..age experience I think the selectors like. Negative is he is not an opener...and on a side note I didn't like marnus comments that he would go up to open get his mate in....he didn't say that last year
Konstas in the mix but I think the age and lack of FC cricket against him...but if he tons up again you never know
Harris...I can see scoring runs in these matches.....but then I can see him stuffing up come the tests...that has always been his issue and his lack of fielding...he is just woeful
Bangers.....has been the leading opener these past seasons but he is in awful awful form atm....I just can't see him turning it around ..if he can somehow make some runs he is a jet in the field thats a positive..great slipper and bat pad
If they all go pretty average or so so....I still wouldn't disregard Inglis slotting into the middle order and marnus going up to open...lets face it with Warner the past few years Marnus has been in early anyway and with the shield Renshaw is a walking wicket...marnus is in 2-3 over

I cannot believe we're allowing ourselves to be talked into a ginger with a first class average of 37. That's not even satisfactory at test level, let alone Shield level.
Not to mention the fact he's not an opener.
Been in as good a form as anyone domestically the last 12 months. Bancroft flopped at the worst possible time.I cannot believe we're allowing ourselves to be talked into a ginger with a first class average of 37. That's not even satisfactory at test level, let alone Shield level.

Least he's young enough and that average is skewed it's a lot better recently, plus and I can't stress this enough literally one of our only leadership options going forward. Cummins is fine but we shouldn't be expecting him to be a long term captain. Put it this way in 2 years who is the captain after Cummins? Khawaja and Smith retired, we surely don't want Lab captaining, Green is already an AR we don't need the bloke captain. Who else is there that's realistic. Would he score less runs than Bancroft, Harris or Renshaw probably not. He's a fantastic fielder. I sort of get the appeal of getting him in and around the side.
Who would you be picking.I cannot believe we're allowing ourselves to be talked into a ginger with a first class average of 37. That's not even satisfactory at test level, let alone Shield level.

We're not England, we don't pick specialist captains. Especially not ones that we're guessing about, because we haven't seen them in the test team locker room, which has proven repeatedly to have a wild ability to turn seemingly great blokes into deadshits.
Head is only 30, Inglis is only 29, Cam Green is only 25. There's plenty of leadership in the wings.
