Very much a squad geared around the concept of "we want to have a closer look at some guys" as opposed to a genuine next in line team, which is fine considering a lot of the people who would be in such a team are going to play county cricket.
Four South Australia players is nice to see, only Johnson is actually a homegrown product though

Personally I'd be concerned about the weather, it's been 9 degrees here all day and has poured for the last 3 days...
Although looking at a weather app, it actually looks ok, other than Sunday...

Don't understand why exactly Wyllie opened and Ward batted 3 when it is the opposite of where they bat domestically. Can't make any sense of that one whatsoever
Really looking forward to seeing how Johnson goes. Hopefully he won't be having to bowl for a while yet though

Turning it up now. 18 off the over. Could have 150 before close.

Wyllie opens in grade. Maybe Aus are looking at him as more of an opener long term? They've picked a very experimental lineup for this series, I have no issues with them moving some of the young blokes like Wyllie and Kellaway around the order to see what sticks.

Can't really agree there tbh. I was ok with such an expeimential side being picked considering how many more established players had county deals, but this is 100% unnecessarily complicating things for no good reason imo. Never a fan of looking to fasttrack ANY batsman through into internationals too early
Ward is a chance (albeit remote) of opening for Australia in the next 12 months, Wyllie really isn't at this point of his career, definitely needs a good Shield season or two under his belt before considering him for international selection at all

If Wyllie is more suited to opening then #3 but WA won't move him up there because they have Whiteman and Bancroft up there what's wrong with CA giving him some experience opening at the higher level?
None of the guys in this team bar Renshaw and peirson are a realistic **** at an ashes squad, and those two are batting in position. If Wyllie doesn't make runs opening he goes back to #3 for WA, if he does then it gives WA some food for thought and gives Wyllie a chance at making international cricket in 3/4 years rather than 5+ (Marnus is locked at #3 and entering the 28-32 age group where most good batsmen tend to peak.
FYI, I would have prefered Jewell opening this game, but I'm not hugely upset with them testing Wyllie there either.
Picking this is Foxcroft....Cooper and Fletcher could be there, but I take your point. That's a very weird thing to say about an A side, especially when the top XI is famed for all being over 30, as well.

I don't believe in asking too much of young players too soon, never have, never will. Would far rather pick someone who actually has shown signs of good performance as an Shield opener, going for "potential" instead is far too GChappellish for my liking
Whether that is Ward or Jewell is an intetesting debate, can mount a good argument for both, but afaic going with neither makes zero sense at all
