73* Fair effort by Big Boi and Hunt looking at the rest of the Redback card.

Is Paris on a split innings hat trick now as well?
Another 5fa for Paris. Such a good bowler.

I'd much prefer to watch a young team get beaten by India than the team we have now. The selectors are S**t scared of doing any changes unless they are forced into it. Bring in our youth or they will be to old soon. So many players to chose from but we keep sticking with the same old team. Please don't ask who i think we should bring in to the team, there are so many potential stars we have that are under 23. The Kiwis beat this team 3 - 0 in India and we can't beat them in our back yard. For starters Cummins, Starc, Hazelwood, lyon have to go, Then the only batter that holds his spot is ? wait can't think of any drop them all.

And replace them with who ?
So your idea is to drop 10 players (you didn't mention Carey, so I assume he stays) ?
"Soon" doesn't seem like the right description for this period of play. Nothing is happening soon. I'm nearly asleep, and I'm still more awake than the 17 spectators at the ground. And the batsmen.
Ochre
:o
And India smartly dropped all their old players like Virat, Rahul, Bumrah, Rishabh, Siraj etc after that 3-0 loss

As bad as that loss was, let's not throw the baby out with the bath water.
Suggesting dropping all of Cummins, Hazelwood, Starc and Lyon is madness. Who the f*** replaces all four of them?

Love the feed back but you mob really havent been watching much shield cricket or youth cricket. We have so many up and coming players that aren't given a chance till there 25 or older.

Name them.
To make it easier, just the four main bowlers. Which in Shield ranks should get a go over them?
Ochre
:o
Bancroft has passed twenty for the first time in only his 12th red ball innings this season! Get him in!
Ochre
:o
Next test is also a pink ball test so surely can't be dropping Starc for that

Konstas, Beardman and Goodwin all named in the squad for the PM's 11 next weekend. Not sure how seriously the Indian's will take the match but it will be good to get a look at them against a higher level of opponent, irrespective of who India names.
Connolly I haven't heard any timeline for his return from the broken hand. I presume the other 2 fellas are Beardman team mates from the U19's?

I'd love to see Paris get a Test.

The worst performing quick was the captain so I can't see that happening any time soon

I agree. I just mean in general. I'd like to see Paris as the next in line, should a member of the cartel go down.

Plus Goodwin
I’m all for blooding youth in the side but bar Kontas non of those guys haven’t even settled in as FC players yet. There’s blooding youth and there’s throwing kids to the wolves.

50 for Bancroft. Let's hope he goes on with it and puts the nightmare start to the season behind him.
