For me it's....
Burns
Harris
Khawaja
Patterson
Pucovski
Wade
Paine
Pattinson (if fit, if not Jyhe Richardson)
Cummins
Lyon
Hazelwood (who would want to improve)
Leaks is Pucovski is getting selected.

I wish him well, but hitting the panic button on a kid who has just taken time off for mental health issues seems incredibly desperate.
Hope they have his best interests at heart.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 01-09-2019
Finally selectors are seeing reason. You don't average 49 with the big scores he has at that age without real ability. He's got a future - Sean Marsh at 34 and a FC average of approximately 35 doesn't.
On another issue, has anybody had a close look at Yadav's wrong 'un ? He needs to be careful about that wrist 'flick'at release, it looks a bit suss. Very tempting motion for spinners trying to get more revs on the ball.

Angelo Matthews out for Sri Lanka which is a big loss, no Herath either, we should win this series 2-0 even with a team of school kids...
If you wanted a soft series vs a weak attack to blood young kids this would be the one...

Interesting article.

Neser should be given a crack no question.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 01-09-2019
Yep, Fly, Neser can't be far away. Some potential in that CA 11.

What's wrong with this statement from Hohns?
Quote:"Matt Renshaw is a player with the ability to make big scores, and at 22 years old has 10 first-class centuries. He also performed extremely well in England during the County season. We see him as a long-term prospect as a Test player and have confidence in his ability to bounce back following a string of low scores early in the Shield season."
Averaging 19 in the Shield this season and Wade's average is 63. :o
Renshaw might well be a long term prospect but he's not in the best eleven cricketers at the moment. In fact, few of the Australian team would be.

They want Renshaw for the Ashes series because of his county form, agree he doesnt deserve a spot based on Shield form....they are probably hoping for a Chris Rogers scenario..
Renshaw is also the best 1st slip in Aus and will improve our catching...
I'm not a fan of playing wicketkeepers as stand alone batsman but I take your point on Wade, he is knocking down the door but I think the selectors will go for youth from here on in...
I'd expect Tremain or Boland to tour England and maybe Neser or Worrall as the swing bowler...not sure why Siddle is even in the test squad...I'd be trialing those fringe quicks vs the Sri Lankan's who are a very ordinary team and missing key players.

If we are to start winning Test matches, the selectors will have to start picking the best 12 (or 13) players and forget about who might do well in the next series or the one after that.
Going for youth is code for "we don't know what we are doing!" The youngsters need to get a good grounding in a re-vamped Sheffield Shield competition. If CA invests in junior cricket, domestic competitions and the Shield, the Test team will look after itself, provided the selectors pick players on merit rather than potential, age and personality.
