As much as I hate saying it, Harris will likely replace Warner. Previously his form hasn’t mattered before selection and he has a contract. Both Bancroft and Renshaw should be ahead of him, but I expect it to be Harris. Perhaps a reason to not have Bancroft is that memories of the cheating saga remain longer if you replace Warner with Bancroft and he succeeds.
Test cricket summer random predictions: Head to surpass top duo, Lyon on the hunt, Warner's farewell and who'll replace him
What I find annoying in this whole Warner-is-useless issue is that I believe in India he didn’t go home injured, he went home “injured”. He left the tour because he knew that the expected trash to follow would have meant he was done. Going home injured (as history shows) guarantees selection when you have recovered.
'Incumbency over performance': Australian selectors get Test side wrong
I wouldn’t say Warner is in the best XI.
McDonald won’t budge on 'here to win today, not worried about tomorrow' policy: ‘Pick the best XI at any given time’
It was a shame Bancroft didn’t go big and just put speculation to bed. Instinct tells me that Harris will be selected regardless. He has a contract and the selectors are in love with him. Bancroft seems to be copping more fallout from the cheating than others. He has been the best candidate for two years now and deserves a chance.
Opening contenders botch golden chance to press Test selection claims but Harris bullish about replacing Warner
Candice is on Brisbane’s Triple M Morning show while the regulars are away. Can summer be over so Marto, Margaux and Dan can come back? I don’t think I can listen to her.
Johnson 'low act' branded 'un-Australian' as Triple M reinstate fast bowler despite Warner brouhaha
I love a good match. If it is lopsided one sided affair, I am not interested.
Do Australians love Test cricket or just watching the baggy green side win at home pretty much all the time?
Harris test average 25.29, dropped. Renshaw 29.31, dropped. Bancroft 25.23, dropped. Warner last three years 28.9…here have a beer, stay as long as you like. Standards have really dropped where it is acceptable to keep selecting someone with such a low average.
Even Justin Langer who wasn’t really that flashy but had a similar career average, averaged 40 in his last 3 years of his career. He at least justified selection.
Are selectors endangering Australia's future by putting Dave Warner’s personal aspirations ahead of team legacy?
I don’t know how Bailey can say Warner is in the best XI while keeping a straight face. Does Warner have something on him?
Teflon Bailey: Johnson right about selectors being too close to players but Warner won’t be denied fairytale farewell
Warner really put selectors in a spot planning his retirement. He should’ve been dropped years ago, he isn’t in the best XI but they won’t drop him without looking like a-holes to some. Warner should have retired after his double century. It would have been the finish he wanted, rather than dragging things out and flogging a dead horse.
'Bunnings would sell out of sandpaper': Bailey reacts after Johnson delivers brutal sledge over 'arrogant' Warner's farewell
It wouldn’t be right to have Maxwell who has played basically no red ball cricket in 4 years over someone younger who has bided their time in the domestic competition. Maxwell’s famed all or nothing inconsistency is the number one reason for him not to play tests. Don’t forget, after his 201 he was out for 1 the next time around. Par for the course.
Ponting anoints Warner successor, but insists Green must 'bide his time' to make Test squad
…as he nears a century against QLD.
The best thing the selectors can do for Cameron Green is to drop him from Test team … for now
It should be Bancroft, but selectors have a boner for Harris, plus he has a contract (for some reason).
The main contenders (and a dark horse) for David Warner's soon-to-be-vacant Test opening spot
One of the best that is needed right now but was born at the wrong time, Jamie Cox. Should have played a hundred tests. He might still be better than what is on offer.
Harris, Renshaw or Bancroft? Choosing Warner’s Test replacement should be opener and shut case for selectors

The Lyons/Menzies just kept me in awe of how they were so synchronised with each other.
Eight-time premiers: Who makes Manly’s greatest-ever team of grand-final winners?
None of them have taken their chances at international level. If we are going to have the Shield worth anything, Bancroft needs to come in. For some reason, the selectors are treating him much harsher than the others after the cheating. Which brings me to Warner, if there is anyone in this test team who earned the right to plan their retirement date, it is not him. Left a stain on Australian test cricket which will still linger after retirement.

These are good points but Head was left out in India because he is apparently no good there, then they selected him and he did fine. Usman has been left out previously because of past history too. Things change over the years, players can improve. And don’t forget the biggest failure of all, David Warner in England. Got selected regardless of history…..so why not Bancroft? How can he improve without a chance? Warner had years of them.
Selectors line up three-way battle to replace David Warner in strong PM XI
I expect that it will just not matter, the selectors have long had a boner for Harris. What more can Bancroft do? He seems to be still suffering for sandpaper-gate and not being named David Warner. Maybe he needs to change his name and all will be forgiven.

I still wonder why they bothered getting Milford. It was doubtful he was ever going to offer anything to the team. His best years were in the number 1 at Canberra. Uncle Wayne got obsessed with trying to manufacture another number 6 and made Milford believe he was one.
Smart Signings: Year one was a huge success for the Dolphins, but replacing their Dad's Army pack might prove tricky
Luai is chasing cash, but surely there isn’t enough to make him want to go from the premiers to the wooden spooners. There are other suitors who have a more realistic chance of making the finals.

Shami for sure, 23 wickets at 9 is amazing. More wickets than anyone else and in only 6 games. The batting efforts of many in this tournament has been great so to stand head and shoulders above any other bowler is even more amazing.
'Perfect picture': King Kohli smashes ton to break Tendulkar's world record as India send New Zealand out of World Cup
Kohli might not catch Tendulkar’s runs total even if he plays as long as he did, but his centuries total whereever it ends up may never be beaten since ODIs are taking a backseat to T20 these days.

Living in Brisbane, I am happy to see that I could see Manly 3 times “locally” next year with Titans, Dolphins and Brisbane. 😁 😁

By the law of averages it was bound to happen. Still got to wonder why Warner gets three years of below average performances and Green gets hardly any time before being dumped. You know…future of the team and all.
