On English pitches I have Pattinson ahead of Starc and Richardson ahead of Hazelwood. Pattinson is surely fit by August.
At this stage of my rolling team
Warner
Khawaja
Patterson
Smith
Head
Purcovski/Wade/Stoinis (Not sure here yet. Wait for the last few games of the Shield)
Paine
Pattinson
Cummins
Lyon
Richardson
Wade is a surprisingly decent bowler with decent pace so can put in a few overs if needed.
Have this horrible feeling they will take Siddle......
, reckon Burns will tour also and open with Warner to have the right/left opening partnership, he is also a decent field unlike Khawaja..Not sure on Wade either...doesnt seem in the selectors minds to me...might spring a surprise and take another younger keeper or a batsman who can keep like Handscomb.
Agree on Patterson...would bat him at No 3......
England were terrible vs the Windies and we should start favorites unless we stuff up at the selection table and Langar picks his favs....

Patterson just looks like a # 3 doesn't he ?...Pujara type.

Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 02-06-2019
One half decent game against B-Grade opponents and Starc is out injured!
Starc, Marsh and Marsh, when will the selectors learn?

Starc injured What is the deal?

I like Laj's side, but I tend to agree with EB about Burns and Warner opening. Feel a bit for Harris - he's done pretty well and will be unlucky to miss out.
I frankly don't know what to do with Khawaja - such a frustrating player. He reminds me to an extent of Junior Waugh - plenty of talent and nice to watch but loses his wicket to stupid shots, too often. Interestingly, they have almost exactly the same average - 41ish. I'd keep him in for now, but give Purcovski a crack at some point, although he has some mental health issues again. Poor kid.
I've got absolutely no confidence in Wade. I realise it's not entirely rational, but I just don't believe in him. So, no for me. I'm not all convinced about Stoinis either and have Head just ahead of him.
I think we need to take Hazelwood, otherwise we have a pretty inexperienced pace attack that could crumble under pressure. Starc out over there - no problem with that, other than that we might miss his batting! I'd take Richardson over Pattinson at this stage.
So, my side atm is:
Warner
Burns
Patterson
Smith
Khawaja
Head
Paine
Cummins
Lyon
Richardson
Hazelwood
Can't agree that we'll be favourites. Anderson puts their bowling well ahead of ours over there and there should be question marks about Warner's and Smith's ability to just step back into their past form.
