Hi Paul, I think you have it spot on here. MM doesn’t select himself so we should get behind him and hope we (Australia) can get the desired result. Marsh will be a good selection if hes allowed to bowl say 15 or so overs, since hes been fully fit the last 9 months or so his bowling has greatly improved. And Lewis, the selection error was made in dropping Head when it should be Warner. Although I will say at some point or another Head needs to go on with one of his starts, not a bad problem to have but a problem none the less. Thanks for the article.
The Australian cricket selectors are back to their ridiculous ways
Thanks David, nice article. In terms of ego however, the selection of Warner for the 5th test shows Australia still have quite dropped all of it. Cheers

Pierro, enjoyed the read. Always good to hear sound reasoning when people making their case. Here’s hoping Marsh can take his chance and Australia claim the 3-1 series win. Cheers
How Siddle and Marsh could both play at the Oval
Pierro, fully agree re Labuschangne he was unlucky not to be picked to start the series after his great county form. Bit harsh on Wade though, deserved his spot through weight of runs and helped Australia get over the line in the first test. Cheers for the feedback.
Australia have a top-order problem
Nice article, I agree. A shining light and great leader amongst a team and organisation which grealty lacks professionalism,
Is Jason Holder the most underrated player in world cricket?
A good read, thanks for writing. Would certainly endorse a Neser debut at the Gabba if not some point this summer. I feel the selectors missed a trick not giving him a go in the UK, he would bowl well over in those conditions. Knowing the selectors and as I have written in the past, they will take the path of least resistance and just pick Starc to play. Same as David Warner, they’ll use his one decent performance to weight the whole argument of picking him (Starc). Aas others have written here, I saw a lot of the WA v VIC shield game both Richardson and Pattinson bowled very well and would also do the job if called upon.
Why Michael Neser must play in the first Test
