Baring injury, Australia rarely makes changes to a losing side let alone a winning one.
You are never going to have a team where every individual player is in form all of the time and changing a team every test isn't going to help performance.

That said the selectors need to recognise that Starc and Lyon are on the wane and Harris is not test standard.
Lyons’s 4 wickets have bought him another 100 tests. It may be enough for him to reach 500.

Simple changes. Richardson for Haze, Khawaja for Warner.

Nothing forced. Harris doesn't look great but we are already disrupted if two are out. Selectors made the announcement very early that Harris would be selected so they would also look foolish dropping him now.

If Warner is fit to play you might argue for Khawaja replacing Harris. He did make an impressive d/n century against SA as an opener.

He'll be so bald by then he'll just be a gleaming skull
He’ll be able to blind the batsman when he comes into bowl.

With warner playing. The social media reaction will be like this.

If he fails with the bat he is probably seen as selfish for playing.

If he scores runs he is called brave and tough.

Every man and his dog seemed convinced that England are going to turn it around because they've selected two geriatrics and it's a Pink ball. Their batting lineup is still pretty pollywollycrappy. Even Root who has been excellent all year isn't really a game changing batter, the 2 who have that ability Stokes and Buttler are either crocked or don't score big.

We got dis.
