Australia v India - pre series discussion

[LukeParkerno1]

some of the names that got no opportunities to limited in the 90's to early 2000 is incredible. We missed out on seeing some great test batsmen....Jamie Cox, Martyn (missed a big chunk of his career), Elliott, Love, Bevan, Hodge, Voges, Lehmann, Siddons,Maher, DiVenuto and probably plenty more

A few did get some chance but another era they probably play a number of tests. That was close to the greatest modern day test side to get into. The Invisibles was before my time

Just hope they go McSweeney now should announce it now imo

No need to make a call before the next Australia A game,lets see how McSweeney goes as a opener and I would open him with Harris and even if McSweeney fails in the next A game would include him in the 14 team squad for the 1st test.To who ever open lets see results from the upcoming A game first.A tough decision for the Australian selectors.

What's the point, just make the call now, it's better for the player anyway. It's not a tough decision at all, one is 25 years old and hasn't failed multiple times. It's an easy call. He is in form and justifies his spot on form

He has never opened before Luke so I would like to see it before we pick him as an opener for the first test...thats why

plus you have Harris and Konstas still in the mix Bancroft is gone due to his lack of form....and there is also Webster who is in good form and could be picked as the allrounder and someone else opens like marnus.....and you have inglis in form

so thats the point make the decision after the games are played

The old NSW propaganda campaign in full swing for Konstas.

You're imagining things.

Everyone for excited after his twin tons - from almost every media outlet, from every state, all the talking heads, and on this board, too. But since then, they've all backtracked.

I'd be surprised if you could find more than one article from the last few days arguing for Konstas. When I went hunting, all I found was this:

The words “Harris in the mix” you want to join the selectors out the back too? They won’t pick Konstas yet.

And there lies the issue.
Harris should have a big red line through his name and put in the never to play again pile with Bancroft and Renshaw.
Don’t even waste time picking them in Australia A games.
