Yes wicket generally deteriorates massively
I don't know how much difference it will make, it's going to be turning straight away anyway. Maybe we don't want to bat last but even if we bat first I feel we could be batting last as well.

Didn’t play one attacking shot in either innings, was out twice and dropped for a grand total of 11 runs, I would back myself to do better, at the very, very least if he plays he bats at 5, blind Freddy can see he should be dropped, but they won’t drop him, the selectors have to prove themselves right you see.
The poster you are quoting did then clarify they did want Warner dropped still, the post wasn't referencing Warner specifically, it seemed more general.
Not saying he played well, but he actually hit two good boundaries just before getting out. After going a bit more attacking for those two boundaries, he then decided to go defensive again and as we all know, got out playing defensively.

Head at #3 and likely second spinner, AB you are kidding. Green batting #7. Bit of an insult to a man with (FC) @48. Three quicks and a single spinner as nowhere in this universe is Head @61 (FC) a fair replacement for a man who took 12 on debut. I do like that AB wants Hazlewood (if fit) in the attack as he has a 6for in India and is a smarter bowler than in 2017.
Another doctored 'jekyll & hyde' pitch. Grassy middle, bare ends. Doubts about this being as volatile as Nagpur as they are using a different soil for this track. Still has again been set up to cater to their master spinning duo and further embarrassment for our bats. Hoping that is not the case as this match we take the contest to India.

Geoff Marsh still has the strangest shadow batting story, imo.
"Marsh is perhaps one of the few people who has ever managed to embarrass David Boon. The two were opening partners for years, and also shared rooms when on tour. Boon related the story of how he once awoke to see Marsh shadow-practicing his technique — while wearing only his birthday suit!
Marsh later said in an interview, "I was naked but I had my baggy green on, which was something...It is just what you do; You get up in the morning and you grab a bat and look at yourself in the mirror. It just so happened that I did not have anything on.""

Of course they will, anyone gets out for less than 100 on bigfooty and people will be baying for blood
With head, if he fails then everyone has a right to bring up his record. Its just that he should have been given a chance to fail before either Renshaw or Handscomb based on his form the last 12 months.
Cummins says Starc is the 'world's premier' bowler in these conditions.

His bowling average in India is 50.
I think you are missing the point. It wasn't so much about Head's contribution.
It sent a terrible message to the team around inconsistency of selection and confirmed with our opposition how spooked we were before the first ball.

I’ll be sure to quote these if we ever get accused of doctoring a pitch. Big damp patch with extra grass at the Gabba on Starcs off stump line to the right hander - they should just pick left handers

Probably depends on a few factors, not least confidence you can bat big in your first innings.

Plenty on here were calling for ‘horses for courses’ style selection, plenty of the same had a melt down when we did just that. Head will be fine.
There's a real balance with "horses for courses", I would say dropping a bloke who is in great form doesn't fall under this.

got a game because of injuries to others. He'll get dropped if Starc is fit or they go with 3 spinners.
If starc isnt fit and they go with 2 spinners he'll play

The way some of you expect Cummins to not talk up the players in the side he is the captain of is so odd.
Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum aren't out in NZ talking down Zak Crawley in the media despite his failings and for good reason.

Poor squad selection and it isn’t as if everyone wasn’t saying it

Boland seems to be the only bowler in that squad that can keep the run rate down and even pick up wickets.Played his part when he bowled a spell with Murphy who got I think 3 wickets.
