We should definitely NOT be picking an all rounder just for the sake of it. Green deserves his spot for sure, but I would rather have another batter in the squad than a spare all rounder.
Is there a need to have a backup allrounder and should it really be Mitch Marsh?
Selecting Mitch Marsh for the Test squad is completely ridiculous. Hardie deserves to be the other all rounder
Ashes squad announced: Marsh gets surprise recall, Warner avoids axe but two openers picked as cover, Morris out
Whiteman or Hunt are better options. Definitely not Harris.
Third time lucky for opener emerging from crowded pack to replace struggling Warner for Ashes
Fantastic Test Match. Over the last few years, Tests not involving Australia have been far more interesting. Our Tests at home are so lopsided. I always prefer those where the result is in doubt for most of the match. Amazing Test
As close as it gets: Wellington Test ends in one-run thriller as England earn unwanted slice of history
Ireland, Zimbabwe, and Afghanistan almost never get to play Tests at the moment. They are never going to improve without more opportunities. A two division Test Championship would definitely benefit them. Also should encourage short series against these teams, perhaps play Ireland when visiting England, for instance
Does Test cricket need promotion and relegation to reduce mismatches like Australia’s summer of carnage?
Glad to see Renshaw in the squad again, Harris has had enough chances.
Australian squad for India announced: Four spinners key to success as selectors keep options open
We must get Renshaw, Hunt, or Whiteman in now.
David Warner’s main goal should be to leave the game with some grace
We need to bring in Renshaw or Hunt immediately
FLEM'S VERDICT: Warner needs runs to save Test career, Head's on fire, Gabba pitch more grass than class
Most of the side are still early in their Test career however Bavuma highlights the problem with the South African quota system

Pace bowling stocks are great. Boland, Neser, Richardson, and Steketee are all excellent. Batting reserves are a big concern. Harris and Bancroft should NOT be considered. Inglis is another good wicket keeping option
FLEM’S VERDICT: My Test Second XI of shadow players - batting depth not great but bowling stocks strong
Warner should definitely not be going to India or England. We need to be urgently looking at new opening options. Khawaja definitely worth continuing with. Also need to look at replacing Head. Hunt would be a good option for opening or Whiteman.
Warner wants Ashes farewell tour but he'll be lucky to make squad based on recent form
Thanks matth. Enjoyed the article. I was a little surprised not to see Peter McAlister in the list
How did this mediocre Australian XI play so many Tests?
Harris and Bancroft should not be considered. Renshaw could be worth a recall. Hunt, Street, and Whiteman also worth considering
When will Warner and Khawaja call time, and why does that matter?
Looking forward to an interesting final day. I wonder if Pakistan will collapse or bat very well, you never can tell.
Ussie's remarkable run continues but Pakistan make strong progress in chasing down record target
One all rounder is enough. Green is doing a good job. Need to look closely at the bowling line up for Karachi

Not sure why Harris has been included, should try Street or Hunt. Don’t need Marsh. Green is doing a good job as the all rounder, one all rounder is enough
'Where's he going to bat?': Former Aussie captain questions selection as squad announced for Pakistan tour
Definitely!!! Buttler is a white ball specialist, no more Tests. Foakes should be the Test keeper
Should Jos Buttler hang up the gloves in Test cricket?
Harris has to be dropped for Hobart and then move Khawaja up to open
FLEM’S VERDICT: Uzzy's twin ton masterclass the two best knocks of Ashes series
Surely NOT Mitch Marsh. Got to be Maddinson or Khawaja. Inglis also a good option
Travis Head tests positive for COVID-19, ruled out of SCG Test
I think we still have a few questions around the batting and also a second spinner. Both issues important with Tests in the subcontinent coming up
I told you the sky wasn’t falling on the Australian Test team
Our pace bowling is in a great place. Neser, Boland, Richardson, & Steketee fighting to get in, they would walk in to almost any other team.
I told you the sky wasn’t falling on the Australian Test team
Foakes should be Test keeper! Buttler is only good in white ball matches
DAY 1 REPORT: Another ton goes begging, but Warner and Labuschagne give Aussies the edge
Time to replace Harris. He has had enough chances. Anyone of Street, Whiteman, or Hunt is worth trying
Warner to play in Adelaide, but young openers should start forming a queue
Cummins for captain. Either Inglis or Carey as keeper

This latest selection is a massive slap in the face for all the current Shield openers
