That is three of our top six. Not bothered all that much re Warner as he plays same in both formats. But the other two are specialist red ball batsmen and need to be playing that format regularly.

They'd be playing if they were better than the incumbents. Jyyehhie is close.Where’s the deck? Perth Stadium unveil ‘bounciest pitch we can’ for second Test
Where’s the pitch? Green demon unveiled for Perth Test
The batsmen may be in for a wild ride on this track. Betting local speedsters Jhye Richardson and Lance Morris are giving their left ball to bowl on it. Pity neither playing.

Yep... And I'm going to miss Chappelli's annual advice to touring teams in commentary saying "the thing about Perth wickets is you can't get carried away with the bounce. Too many blokes get too excited and end bowling far too short.... John Snow always knew you had to bowl your normal length here. Helluva bloke to have a beer with in the dressing room after the day's play too..."
Patty admits the quicks are underdone. But says he's prefer to be underdone than overdone. CA should have been aiming for 'cherry ripe', as we head into 9 months of hard yakka Test cricket..
Travis cant play overseas.
I have copped flack before from the Travis Head devotees over posting this. But one of his tons was against a depleted Pom attack as both Robinson and Stokes were off the field for a good part of it while their tweakers Leach and Root were bowling nudies. So Travis lit the fuse and changed mode to white ball..his forte. From memory his other ton was at a run a ball which tells us batting conditions were easy again. Cam Green also scored a rather quickfire 80 if memory serves and we know he gradually builds an innings like all good Test batsman.
The late 80's and early 90's when the Windies were touring Ng, my god, that week leading up to Day 1 of the first test at the Gabbas always felt excruciatingly long... In those days the First Test would start on a Friday..... Who'd a thunk it??
Davey mas well stay home with Candice and his kids and do tik toks with them next year will be more useful.
