Given Pucovski's issues with the short ball, he will get plenty of practice in South Africa. I like the look of Green and he should improve on the tour, but I wonder about our top order against that attack. They will go after Smith and Labuschagne with a lot of short pitch stuff and leg slip fields as it has been successful before. Who makes the runs?
EDIT: I just checked the run-scorers list for 2020/21 season at shield level, Shaun Marsh is the real standout there not presently in the squad. I would like to see him added as reserve opener/top order filler. He can play the short ball and has the game to make runs in South Africa. Marsh has three hundreds and a fifty from four games whereas many others scored the bulk from one innings. It is a sad state we don't have more real competition outside of this group.
