Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[Pratty]

Problem is Faulkner is not good enough for a 3rd seamer or bat 6 IMO.

What me need is Handscomb to bat in the top 6 allowing a Faulkner or Marsh to come in at 7 or 8.

A Keeper in the top 6 can give the team the flexibility it needs.

Wouldn't bat Faulkner at 6, though he is not that type anyway.

He's a bowling all-rounder.

Reckon a bowling all-rounder such as Faulkner and a batting all-rounder would be handy.

I had thought of Handscomb to keep/bat at 6 too, but that's a big leap.

This obsession with the all-rounder having to bat at 6 is ridiculous. We are stuck back in the old days.

Can Nevill bat at 6 with support from even 2-3 decent bowling all-rounder types to come in behind him?

Problem could be we get quite thin on for bowling, though we are on struggle street anyway.

Example...

6. P.Nevill / P.Handscomb (wk)
7. M.Stoinis / M.Marsh
8. J.Faulkner
9. M.Starc
10. J.Hazlewood
11. N.Lyon
