Test 11 24-25

[crows dude]

Footy is finished so time to turn attention to cricket. What does the 11 look like this summer. Do we stick with the fab 4 in the bowling attack. Do we play both all rounders with Marsh opening

Marsh
Khawaja
Labs
Smith
Head
Green
Carey
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Hazelwood

Assuming Green is injured, this is the side I’d love to see, but is zero chance of happening:

Bancroft
Khawaja
Labuschagne
Smith
Head
Marsh
Carey
Richardson
Cummins
Lyon
Morris

Like it. Not sure about Bancroft opening with Khawaja though. It will be a snooze fest. That’s what Warner has done to test cricket. And Kalu and Jayasuria before him. Bancroft has made a crap load of runs though last few years so deserves a chance.

Tbh i am not convinced on marsh. Yes he annihilates everything short but you can’t build a game just on that.

I wouldn't mind seeing Hardie get a crack given Green's injury. Most like-for-like replacement, though we don't really need his bowling with Marsh also in the team.

Head, Khawaja, Labuschagne, Smith, Marsh, Hardie, Carey, Cummins, Starc, Lyon, Hazlewood

Otherwise Bancroft in as opener. Just not sure Bancroft and Khawaja will be capable of putting enough pressure on the Indian bowlers.

Harris has always scored runs on the Junction Oval Hwy. He’ll be shown up as the pretender he is - again.

I’d put more weight on Hunt scoring 130 against Neser and Steketee than I’d put on anyone scoring runs on that joke of a pitch.

Only positive of picking Harris would be that we don’t destroy the confidence of a youngster against the Indians. In terms of how they’d go though, doubt they’d be much difference between the younger players (Konstas, Hunt) and the tried and failed (Harris and Bancroft).

Love Hunt to get a go.
