Ashes 2019

It’s interesting that we seem to be picking bowlers on form and pitch but remain reluctant to change the batsmen ????

When on tour you have only so many choices. We can only replace the openers with Bancroft and Khawaja, so the only thing is they'll likely hang around a bit longer even if they don't make alot. Khawaja does average 96 as an opener, including a couple of big ones overseas. Only other batting choice left is Mitch Marsh.

Maybe open with Smith and Labuschagne and play 6 bowlers, who'll also likely make more runs as well as bowl anyway...lol.
