Neville just doesn't make enough runs, I reckon Wade should be looked at.
Lyon has been found out and is bowling horribly.... Time to regain form at shield level. Same for Burns.
Id look at Bancroft or Maddinson to open.
Replace Mennie with Sayers: Hazelwood is being flogged because he is accurate and looks likely, as a true test standard bowler should. The others are not contributing enough.
Must have a spin option in Adelaide, ? Maxwell, o'Keefe, Zampa, Holland?
Can't see Mennie playing a lot of tests, doesn't look like a wicket taker... Lack penetration and doesn't move it around. How he got a game before Sayers or Bird, well only Marsh knows, because I don't see it.
Our blokes try to pick up the ball early and commit to playing a line. Works on flat pitches but any movement and they're shot. Watch the Voges dismissal... Commits early and made no allowance for any variation and a soft, soft dismissal.
With the DRS in use last match Warne would have taken 1500 wickets. Crikey, talk about one side getting the rub of the green....
I'd play Steve O'Keefe... as a left hander turning the ball away from the RHers he is a slightly more attacking option. He has been a bloody good shield player for a long, long time.
Zampa is no mug either.
If we want a few overs of off spin to break it up we could look at Maxwell. The problem is that none of our current bats really offer much in the part time bowling department, except for Smith who has lost faith in himself as a bowler.
I really like Siddle but we need a bowler with more penetration. Unless there is a point of difference eg height or moves the ball a lot there isn't much call for blokes that trundles it down at 130 kph.
Simply pathetic effort once again by the muppets with bats.
Neville is a tidy keeper but he needs to make runs when it counts. Wade is not the tidiest keeper but has made test and shield runs under pressure. We can't continue with a middle order of Voges- M. Marsh-Neville... its as reliable as a Styrofoam spaceship.
