Bancroft’s last 2 test periods….SA where he was the Aussies top scorer & the Ashes were he got dropped. Then add his SS record the last 2 years. So reasonable test & great SS. And if Warner can keep getting picked because as people on here say, he had some dirt that CA didn’t want aired, then Bancroft should be safe there. That makes him way ahead in the options. Only doubt might be his scoring rate but none of the other options including Smith & Green are fast scorers anyway.
Every Australian Test opener option, ranked: Why sending Smith up is a recipe for disaster
Familiar poor bowling & field plan when it gets a bit hard with the tail. Need to change that.
Cummins cleans up again but Pakistan recover from collapse with wagging tail frustrating Aussies
Sangakara maybe.
Warner is an all-time great - but he’s not Australia’s best ever multi-format player
Interesting comments BG. Where does th ICC get all its millions?
‘Is this a defining moment in the death of Test cricket’: Steve's right to be on Waughpath over pathetic Proteas squad
I think wrong is an understatement.

But that doesn’t make constant crowd booing right. Sure he should have been dropped, sure state your view, but booing, especially crowd booing is bullying. It had a very big impact on Marsh. And now they chant Bison at times. Must be embarrassed.

Not agreeing with him getting selected is one thing, but the treatment he got was appalling. And screaming nepotism with Rod Marsh shows the level of cricket knowledge. Even he said he thought he was the most hated person in Australia. No wonder he wasn’t making runs.

Must be a Victorian thing then.

I read the whole article & thanks for your advice on sounding dumber.
Yes there is a very small part that said booing was not on. The rest of the article seemed to me to be justifying the poor treatment which was booing. How could he play well when your own supporters, east coasters that is, are booing you.
COMMENT: Can we please stop rewriting history about Mitch Marsh just because everyone loves him now?
100% wrong Tim….you have conveniently forgotten or downplay actually the extent of how badly he was treated. It wasn’t just words on paper. Marsh himself said he thought he was the most hated person in Australia. Melbourne crowds….disgraceful. How about an article on that.
COMMENT: Can we please stop rewriting history about Mitch Marsh just because everyone loves him now?
So you own supporters boo you. That’s how he was treated. Don’t get how his lack of runs gives people that right. And a great bloke to boot.
COMMENT: Can we please stop rewriting history about Mitch Marsh just because everyone loves him now?
The treatment of Marsh, primarily from those on the east coast, was disgraceful. Booing a player that’s representing your country is bl@@dy shameful. When you hear Marsh even saying at the time he thought he was the most hat d person in Australia….no wonder he wasn’t making any runs. No matter how badly he played, nothing entitles people to act like DH’s when treating someone.

His intent to intimidate the umpire is really clear when you watch the vision. Had no regard for the umpires authority. Any person acting reasonably would not have run in when the umpire is standing there…….that’s what they do in a game. And he even passed the umpire on the inside near the stumps. Bizzare act that warrants a substantial penalty.

I get Uzzies message……..but all he had to do was ask & say it is for everyone. If the ICC say no then he can complain. But he can’t complain on how it’s happened in my view.v

I’ll agree to disagree…..as I said I don’t go on figures, just who looks ready. But I understand your view. Have a good Chrissy & new year.
Australia’s quartet of quality will soon be most prolific in Test history - but never the greatest
Yeah as I said, I don’t go much on stats. Morris hasn’t had much of a chance, really a glorified net bowler. Sure they may have better stats, but to then imply that means they are ahead of him is really harsh & unfair. Sure he gets high level training but there’s nothing like being out in the middle, getting some consistent game time. The Aussie quicks hated being rested which supports this. A bit like golf, can do it on the practice fairway but hard to replicate in a game.
And I’m not saying fast track him……just he’s next in line in my view.

My view & I don’t go a lot on stats, just who I think has it to play the next step up at Test level. Boland, Neser, Tremain are not the future. Richardson needs to prove he’s not going to get injured all the time & then yes I agree. Paris….way behind Morris, not even in WA’s best. Sutherland…..now he needs to earn his stripes first of all & be around the team a bit, 2 years away. Stevketee is a shield cricketer. Not sure on O’Neill.

There’s not 10 better fast bowlers than him though. He’s got to be next in line unless he has a terrible next 6 months.

He’s done that way to long. You can only sit in a class room for so long. You need to get out & put into practice, even at shield level. At least he can do that now. Unfortunately many players get lost while so call d learning the game on the pine.

Ta…..surprising that in some cases Head Coaches get less than specialist coaches.

So Andrew McDonald can coach IPL while being the Aussie coach. There must be so much conflict. So much for trying to get players to focus on the national team.

You can’t show much in Sheild cricket when you’re sitting on the pine watching a test match.

Not so…all are parochial. And Qld a smaller state, maybe but still a big state.

Lillee’s games are reduced because he played a few years of World Series Cricket, which aren’t included in official figures. He took 80 something wickets in that by memory.
Marnus form slump becoming a concern as Aussies grind Pakistan into Perth dust with all-round dominance
White ball cricket & the rediculous advantage given to batters (docile wickets, no leg side bowling, short boundaries, big bats etc) is killing Test cricket as a spectacle. Batters are not technical any more, that doesn’t hit the big shots. Any way, big hits in white ball cricket are more likely to be miss hit top edges. Does my head in.
Talk is cheap: Only real investment can stop Test cricket ending up like rugby league
