And weaken our batting more? You have got to be kidding me!

If the allrounder is only averaging 20 with the bat and not taking wickets then you may as well get a top 10 bowler in the world in there. Can't really afford to leave Green in there for experience in such a close series.

Could also get a specialist batsmen in there, but with Burns and Wade as first choice openers it doesn't seem like there is much in reseve.

What I find kind of fascinating is how India brought in 2 debutants and both looked really good, right at home in the top grade... Siraj bowled with good pace and plans and did unreal for a rookie fast bowler away from home. Gill looks a star at the top of the order.

These days when we are debuting youngsters we're stoked if they can tie their shoelaces and put their helmet on unaccompanied... Green looks a prospect but he is yet to take a wicket and looked a little unsure in the field.... Batting will be a big plus but he does need to chip in with some wickets...

Used to be the other way around. Guess the balance of power and expectation has well and truly shifted...

Just bought 2 tickets to Day 1 at the SCG.
Day 3 (Jane McGrath Day) sold out already. Gotta get in quick with reduced capacity.

So your idea is to drop our best batsman in the last innings...

So silly. Drop Head and Burns. That's it.
