Clarke should retire immediately.
Expect to see youth in Bangladesh
Burns must play.
Maybe Doran.
I would prefer Faulkner to Marsh.
Cummins to play 5th test.

We need to find a strong group to build around Smith who should bat at four but won't.

I'd like to see Bancroft open with Warner when Rogers retires....
I'm not sold on Burns yet.
Cummins....agree...swings the ball at good pace all be it is injury prone...
Faulkner is unlucky, because he is a very good one day player it probably hold him back in terms of perception and I agree he should
be playing more test cricket...still like Marsh but conditions at the WACA are not conducive to being a good player in English conditions and
he will be a better player back in Aus and places like South Africa, the West Indies etc ...

Agree with Bancroft.
Warner is very lucky there is a void of senior players. His technique is awful.
These guys need to play in other cricket than IPL.
If Warner doesn't play county, I would tell him he doesn't play test cricket, up to him.

You'd be kidding about Warner wouldn't you? Warner's actually made 4 half centuries and a 38 this series. Not at his best but not too bad either. his technique isn't bad and better than most. He averages 46 in Test Cricket so it has nothing to do with a void of senior players. He'll be always first picked.

Warner hasnt got a great technique but is still a destructive player with a good eye...the English have bowled well to him and have had the ball moving back into his body
to cramp him up so he cant play those flashy cuts and drives but you are right a season or two of county to tighten his technique would be useful.
There is rumoured talk of another rebel test league starting up and I reckon Warner would be high on the list of players wanted and interested with obscene amounts of money
reckoned to be on offer if it ever gets off the ground...

Amazing watching last night.
You would swear we were trying to play test cricket.
Can't believe they would revert to that!

Nice warm up for the Kiwis......Cricket Aus XI.......1 - 503 (dec).  Declared when they lost their first wicket (Carters for 209)  Finch (who can't get a gig for Victoria)  - 288 n/o !

Match suspended now while the pitch is being inspected....be absolutely hilarious if the Kiwis couldn't get a bat on it (although, a fair slight on the Blacktown ovals preparation).

Latest word, the stumps have been taken out......Kiwi's will be fuming

I just saw a phot0 of the pitch.....no bloody wonder.

That's pretty poor.  Can you imagine the outcry if this was an English warm up match to the First Ashes test

The kiwis were about to bat after Aus made 1/500. What was their concerns?

No, not kidding.
He needs a kick up the ass.
He averages sub 20 in ashes first innings when it counts.
Stats ax be whatever you want them to be Jim
He has no forward defence and gets out playing the same shots
Let's not create another watson
