I think Burns needs at least the first two tests to prove his worth. He has a better batting average than Ponting, Hayden and Langer had at the same point in their careers. Even Kohli only averaged 39 after 29 tests. He’s been dropped 5 times in 21 tests and once after a 180. I have no doubt WP will play test cricket but give him an entire season first.

Time to be brave with Pucovski and Green
