Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[Raydan]

Possible future Test XI?????

1. Warner
2. Renshaw
3. Khawaja
4. Smith ©
5. Handscomb
6. Head
7. Wade (wk)
8. Pattinson
9. Starc
10. Cummins
11. Hazlewood

Bring in a spinner (Lyon, Holland, O'Keefe, Agar, Zampa) when need be. Maybe Head can bowl some decent offies to hold up an end and as a change bowler whilst the quicks unleash!

Other quicks to consider include Faulkner, Bird and Sayers.

I know you Vics get a woody every time Pattison is mentioned but he is a level below Starc and Hazelwood at the moment and the untapped potential of Cummins gets him into my line as well. You have to have a spinner in a test side and Head's nude balls don't cut it against a good test side.

Lyon started to get his drift back last test, however in the long term, I'd love to see Agar come on, he can bat, his bowling needs to get better but if he could be the answer at 6 (big ask) or we find a better keeper batsman who could go to 6, then we could play your 4 quicks Pratty and gift Pattison a game or when the need arises get a Zampa in on a turning track.
