    By this do you mean there should've been a 3/4 day warm up match? Because I agree.

    By this logic rest everyone except Blundell and Nicholls.

    Weak if so O'Rourke going down is a bit of a known quantity but Smith getting an injury whilst batting is less predictable. Fisher would probably be the one to go down if picked, whilst Duffy could probably walk through a brick wall and be fine imo

    Resting O'Rourke, a huge talent, is a no brainer for mine. When you have a long history of seamers breaking down in a slight breeze there's no reason to risk him in a series that we draw at worst with no WTC points on the line. I'd like to see 1. Latham* 2. Conway 3. Young 4. Ravindra 5...

    Anyway Duffy should make his debut but tbh I'm keen to see Fisher. If they take it autiously with O'Rourke we might have a double debut test

    The left hand aspect imo I was a big fan of Lister a few years ago. When hes on song he can look excellent. Fell away quite a bit from that point though.

    Yeah it is pretty poor. Wonder what the logic is when Kelly and Chapman are available. One more look at the PS leading run scorer?

    I'm not a fan of the overly conservative selections this far but it's also literally his first series in charge as coach. I think while we nerds on a cricket forum would love a coach coming in with a scythe and culling all the dead weight, there's probably a senior player dynamic that you refer...

    Tbf I'd love to see a series win in Australia in my lifetime but we've still never done it ever in South Africa. Big gap on a lot of our players records as well. Keen for that. Plus beating a proper South Africa and the Aussies at home would be nice too. And clean sweeping the smug English...

    Probably would've got a 50 too tbf

    I mean I get where you're coming from but in the test arena we've scaled all the mountains except Australia and South Africa away. We should absolutely be focusing on trying to overcome those obstacles with planning even if it means not taking a tour of Zimbabwe or hosting West Indies with the...

    Only 4? Damn. With those numbers he should've been a lock for at least a 50.
