You are spot on Ronan, his domestic Test record is excellent and I expect his upcoming summer to be a vast improvement on the Ashes.
However, I think he may soon need to make a decision to go one way or the other i.e. a red ball or a white ball player for the remainder of his playing career.
Overall I think he is a better white ball player – his World Cup performance vs his Ashes performance is very good and recent evidence of this.
David Warner can still dominate Test cricket
Rory Burns 390 runs at 39, Joe Denly 165 runs at 41.25 (opening in 2 tests) would suggest not ALL openers struggled. Equally Labuschagne and Smith were virtually batting as openers and didn’t seem to find the new ball so difficult. Warner, Harris and Bancroft all looked inept as test openers against a seaming ball.
Who should the Test selectors look at for the summer?
Marnie, whilst it was only the Gold Coast, Richmond did win one game interstate last year…
The full Ashes breakdown, plus AFL and NRL finals
Completely agree with your team.
Also counting against Harris is the dropped catch and missed run out opportunity late in the game.
Would be great to have the luxury of selecting Starc as a “clean-up the tail” bowler, however until we can unearth a quality all-rounder, we don’t have that option.
Aussies need a reshuffle but only one change for fourth Ashes Test
Retired players should have a very limited shelf life as commentators. I find myself agreeing with most of your points except including Wayne Carey as a commentator that we need…
Time to let the old ways die
I was sitting across the aisle from Raonic’s team during the Kyrgios game. More concerning than her intensity was the guy in the pink shirt on her left in this video, who thought it was appropriate to continually spit on the ground throughout the match.
Raonic's girlfriend might be the most intense supporter we've seen
Correct Kim,…what about we just pick the best 6 batsmen, in the same way that we pick the best keeper and the best 4 bowlers. If one of the best 6 batsman can bowl a bit, then that’s a bonus. Great all-rounders don’t come around that often, and right now we don’t have one.
How Marcus Harris made himself a Test cricketer
“Yet Wallaby coach Michael Cheika keeps pulling the daggers out of his back, while Langer rides blissfully on despite his teams playing the worse cricket.”
The Wallabies are playing better cricket??
Why is Michael Cheika constantly hammered, while Justin Langer is blameless?
“even if defensive infringements killed off numerous scoring opportunities for the home side.“
The AB’s are always happy to concede the 3 points rather than risk 7.
Why do the Wallabies give them what they want?
Penalties are not going to beat the AB’s anyway…keep cracking away at their line…risk a turnover, which probably only becomes a lineout to Wallabies (which normally we would win!), and go for the try…if they keep giving away penalties, the yellow card will come out, in the meantime their defence is getting tired…most importantly, we aren’t giving them what they want.
Its also a lot better viewing for the average spectator.
Bledisloe déjà vu, but were the Wallabies really that bad?
In the last 20 years, only 2 “second time around” coaches have won a flag. Malthouse in 2010 and Matthews in 01-03. They both tasted ultimate success previously at a different club. So that says Clarkson is the only available coach with previous experience worth considering.
Carlton coach David Teague is in the hot seat. But who comes next?
