Looking to the ashes we clearly have a great bowling side whereas England have a great batting side, our batsman look like they have no technique and play to much 20/20

once again, Webster has been a very good selection for us

our top order needs to start converting those 20s into 50s
In the search for the latest wonderkid ("I think said wunkerkind"), once again it's the bloke who has been building a solid career in first class cricket for a long time that comes in and does the job.

Head is the one who needs to move up a bit and no not to opener

Lol. That Trav tekkers screams top order doesn't it?

We all love Smithy mate. But it's ridiculous that he won't bat 3 and is happy to see Cam Green thrown to the wolves instead

Head is our second best after Smith and he is better suited to the middle order. We don't move him from 5.

Its the same argument for Smith at 3. He has played most of his cricket at 4 but averages higher at 3. Just eases a little bit of pressure off Green if Smith bats higher as well. Its honestly a no brainer.

12-24 months ago Smith should have moved to 3 and Labs should have started opening. Its what I'd be instructing Labs to do for QLD when shield starts.

Smith & Head should be 3-4 - whatever order they can both decide

need less pressure on Webster, Green etc - though Webster doesnt need it as he's been outstanding.

each innings collapses keeps Labs in contention for Ashes

could we see a scenario where Webster starts over Green?

Green is a pick and stick for 2 years imo
