Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 11-15-2017
Rumour is that Bancroft will replace Renshaw, Neville for Wade and Cartright to bat at six.
Please don't shoot the messenger.

Picking him at 6 would be insane.
It needs to be a batsman pure and simple.
An he hardly bowls!

No pressure on the top 5..... :
...if England knock over Warner and Smith they will roll straight through that middle/ lower batting lineup..Starc might be having to bowl and bat us to victory.....Dont get the hype on Cartwright....what is our obsession with finding a Botham?...it was Shane Watson, then M. Marsh.......now maybe Cartwright...I'd prefer Maxwell.....he may be eccentric but when he is on either batting, bowling, fielding he wins games.....ok he isnt everyones mate in the dressing room but he is a better cricketer than Cartwright, Marsh etc...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - flyboy77 - 11-15-2017
AGREED, Maxwell b4 Cartwright by a country mile....

I also agree with this, don't get the hype over Cartwright, good player, but gee, got to earn your spot, particularly as the selectors stated that these 3 shield games would be very important for the batsmen to show some form. Well in that case, he has to miss out......His bowling is not even Greg Chappell or Doug Walters standard, better off with Smith rolling a few over down.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crashlander - 11-15-2017
One of the things I have never understood about Smith (or Warner, for that matter) is that bowling seems to be such a low priority for a guy who could bowl well.
Smith played his 1st test as a spin bowler, but has barely bowled since.
I am happy he has developed into a good batsman, but he really missed out by not developing his bowling.
Warner is similar. On the few occaisons he has bowled his leggies, he has looked reasonable. I am also happy that he developed his batting, but he has really missed a trick by now developing his bowling.
In the past, 'part time bowling options' like Allan Border, Greg Chappell, Doug Walters and many others have REALLY helped the Aussie attack because they had the confidence to bowl and the ability to take wickets. Katich, for example, was quite a good a his chinamen and googlies. Nobody could read his googly. He should have bowled much more, but for injury.
Now both Smith and Warner SHOULD be regular parts of the attack. It wouldn't take that much. And it wouldn't hurt our spin attack.

Our Test team.
Bancroft, Paine and S.Marsh in.
Renshaw, Wade are out, and S.Marsh gets the no.6 spot ahead of Maxwell and Cartwright.

Shaun Marsh ? Really, FFS, hasn't this perennial under-achiever had enough sucks on the sauce bottle...

Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 11-16-2017
Surely this is bollocks. Renshaw has done nothing wrong at test level, and should be a walk up for the first test. Paine hasn't kept in the last 2 games, how can he possibly be named as the nations keeper? Shaun Marsh? Really? This is like a real life test of can nepotism really ever overcome lack of ability. FFS
