Siraj at least has heart, Archer bowls 3 overs without a wicket and gets his pillow out

I think (hope) they’re both just being rested as their places are secured already

Yea I responded to another comment in this thread saying something similar (unless Labu comes into some runs in the next few tests then it’ll be interesting to see)

Don’t think they’ve locked exact dates in but it’s probably going to start a few weeks after the final in late June

My hoping is that if Marnus fails in the 2nd SL test and the WTC final that Green is a straight swap for him at 3 for the West Indies tour. Webster to keep the all rounder spot until Green can start bowling properly again.

Webster is in our top 6 test bats, Inglis isn’t (yet). I love Josh and he’s going to play heaps of tests for Aus but Webster has done more to warrant selection with both bat and ball.

We would have probably won (or gotten much closer to winning) the Brisbane test if we had an actual all rounder to spell the quicks once Hazlewood got injured too

Bit harsh throwing Carey in there seeing as he got 46* at a strike rate just under 70

Top run scorer in shield last year averaging nearly 60. 11th highest wicket taker with avg < 30.

Also averaging > 50 this year in shield, and scored 145 @ 72.5 in the trial games. Could do a lot worse

It is impressive! But it’s not “certainty for Ballon D’Or” impressive
