I’m resigned to the fact that he will carry the drinks in Perth Frodo because another thought is that the selectors probably don’t want to change the team as Australia has to redeem ranking points they lost in the Ashes series
So they will stick to a winning formula
Just a wild thought I had 😛

You have to include Green in there Gamechanger . After India and now with Marsh preferred he looks like he is up for the job in Perth

I can think of at least 6 who are experience and could cover for Lyon .
We seem to only talk ..or pick..someone who is knocking the door down with big results in Shield.
Like Lyon you need to be picked and left there to hone your craft. A La Murphy. Does a fair job and now has shunted sideways
Maybe pick a a second eleven and let them tour New Zealand and elsewhere to get a higher level of experience and exposure

True Opeo. But er were talking about future prospects. And knowing this wealthy current test squad it won’t be for a while yet

Thats the big question Colin. The Ponting’s and Clarke’s etc don’t seem to be around these days
Davies maybe one

Matth..a leaning toward a right handed batsman (Bancroft) to partner Usman

He just went back and made runs for WA and should have also capitalised on his good start for the PM’s X1
The only runs he’s not making are the ones when he is carrying drinks in India
Some people can’t see what’s in front of them I’m afraid

Gordon I like what you have done there. Thoughts on Spencer Johnson?? Oliver Davies ? Sangha ?
I also think with the runs scored this season Webster could be a good standby
Buckingham I like.

A bit blinkered mate. He’s the future. Should be batting at no4 . No need to bowl him but his all round capabilities are an asset

Thank you 13th. If Frodo cannot recognise talent and also the future of this team then one has to doubt his knowledge

Tom, to be honest I don’t mind who they try. I probably prefer Bancroft as he is a recognised opener . Harris I’m not comfortable with. Would be nice though to have a younger guy coming through that would be around for a while
And selection would be a tad easier if they left Marsh to take charge of the limited over games and that way there is no hesitation in selecting Green ..which there should not be

Marsh no worse than other 3 candidates
So , no laugh ..if you must be rude
Just give an opinion on the topic..if you can

I’m not a huge fan of Renshaw Don and after all he didn’t open but came in after a good opening partnership where the ‘ shine’ hade been knocked off the ball
So , to me, the question is not that resolved.
I’d probably lean toward Bancroft . At least he is a recognised opener

Can’t believe that there is any doubt over playing Green
Just when you get a good young player ……

Agreed. I’m not convinced that anyone of the three opening contenders answered the question
Such a good wicket for batsmen . Some life in it may have given a better indication
Perhaps they go with Marsh which allows Green to get his slot back

Good luck to Renshaw but I heard the commentators say that he looked a bit shaky at times outside his off stump. Age old problem for him. Against a top class planned attack ????

13th. He did reinstate Marsh into the T20 side

To leave Head out of the Test side is a pill too hard to swallow. Particularly when you replace him with Neser. No balance there at all. A great number 6 who can also roll his arm over if required but you have a plethora of right arm bowlers. I’d like to see Spencer Johnson join Morris instead of Boland. It’s the future and Johnson is the leftie
But OMHO

Barb, irrespective of the banter between yourself and Don can you , or anyone, shed some light on what is going on with Green.
I t would seem he has become the highest paid drink waiter going around
I personally would have liked to see him open in this PM’s clash.
Maybe it would have resolved the opener’s role post Warner ..instead of relying on the 30 odd year old tried and failed nominations
Before you know it Green will be the 30 yo would be

I’m in agreement Arges. Sydney have really strenghtened their on ball group with three experienced players. Take a lot of heat off Mills. Free up Papley to stay longer as a fwd.
Their young key forwards have had a good grounding
Plus a great body of young stars in Gulden, Heeney, Blakey, Warner and Florent
What’s not to like

I’ve been glancing at the game on the computer whilst also doing other stuff ..including reading these comments . It brings me to the conclusion that I think Green will no doubt be a drink waiter in Perth. Hope not but I think even after his last knock for WA it’s not enough to secure his spot.
So much for young talent.

Do Australians love Test cricket or just watching the baggy green side win at home pretty much all the time?
