Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[ElwoodBlues1]

Might be better opening with Khawaja and batting Patterson at 3, where he bats for NSW.

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....
