1. Warner
2. Renshaw
3. Smith
4. Khawaja
5. Handscomb
6. Maxwell / Turner
7. Wade (wk)
8. Starc
9. Cummins
10. Lyon
11. Hazlewood
Reserves - O'Keefe, Pattinson, Bird, Maxwell / Turner, Stoinis.
I'm no fan of Wade - he is an average keeper [at best] and an average batsman as well. We need a better batsman than him with a longish tail. Nevill is the best keeper batsman on form, or give Alex Carey a run. But I highly doubt that will happen - it looks like Boff and Smith love the bogan in him, despite the fact that he doesn't appear to add anything tactically to the team except for sledging the opposition. His batting in the 2nd innings of the last test was the final straw for me - dumbest cricket I've seen in a long long time...........
