Not for me. Unchanged imo.

Maybe Hazelwood for Siddle as a like for like (long spell bowler). Wouldn’t change the other bowlers.

 

[lockyno1]

Dumb dumb just needs to hang on for the roads of home - he'll probably squeek out a 50 at some stage - he's such a twat, might manage to mantain his low-mid 30's away average lol

Smith is a beast - plain and simple...

Any chance of us borrowing Williamson for a month or two? It’s for the good of cricket!

 

[Front-Rower]

Warner isn’t getting dropped especially for a bloke like Harris.

A bloke like Harris lol

If it’s good enough for Starc to be dropped for poor performance in England than Warner should face the same consequences

 

[Mr Angry]

Me at the selection table.

S Smith fit, playing?

Answer - yes

Me - Lyon?

Answer - yes

Ok done here you can pick the rest.

Yes but you're an utter imbecile

There is a difference- Warner has 21 test hundreds. Starc doesn’t have that to fall back on. They aren’t dropping one of our two blokes that can win test matches with the bat. Not happening.

Yes but you're an utter imbecile

It was proven the correct call in this test. Siddle and Pattinson were great inclusions

 

[JamesRustle]

Anyone see our (former?) batting coach in the paper this morning saying he'd like to see Smith score faster???

FMD...

Smith should be our batting coach.

Only a handful away and none in England... give him a flat track and he’s a real hero though

Why would you expect Starc to have scored 21 tests hundreds in 139 innings?

If you peel the onion back and look and Starc’s BOWLING figures you’ll notice that he has taken 13 5 wicket hauls or better in just 97 innings.

BTW when did Dave win a test with the bat in the UK?

Lords reverses

Lords reverses

Then play Neser. Need a bowler to bowl long spells.

Yet despite his so called great bowling he did very little last time against a pretty poor English side in these conditions. Hazelwood has more of a case, atnleast we can replace Siddle with a bowler than can do the same role.

It’s either Pattinson or Starc and frankly we need the batting depth Pattinson gives us at no8. Both are likely to bowl similar.

You are wanting to replace a guy who averages close to 50 with a bloke who averages 30...Harris has a woeful technique for these conditions.

 

[lockyno1]

100% agreed but he’s still better than Harris.

 

[hineyrulz]

Harris would be a walking wicket, barely plays a shot through the offside without an angled bat.

Just watched ch10 news, sports

Justin Langer: " Peter Siddle was almost the bowler of the match, the best none for I have seen"

Now is Siddle gonna be a lock for the 2nd test, or JL is just being real nice before dropping him

oh the suspense
