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.
