what does Marnus need to do in the 2nd test to retain his spot?

if you're not dropping Marnus then no one should be dropped - give McSweeney the 5 tests

as @Raiders_Premiers said - there should be numerous players playing the PM XI match in Canberra - Gametime fixes form

Needs to contribute with the bat

Doent have to be a huge score, a contributing one thats helps us get a win

Needs to stop pretending he's Shoab Akhtar. His medium pace bowling is embarrassing.
Needs to stop chewing with his mouth open too.

The concern isn't so much Marnus's lack of runs but more that he doesn't even look likely. I think a 50 keeps him safe, but that's seems miles off in his current form.

Smith and Khawaja not passing the eye test either.

He's clearly blown mentally. His reviews show that. Desperate and has no answers.

Wouldn't be the first bloke to get a back to the wall tonne either but logic has it as pretty unlikely right now. He's a liability

Marsh under an injury cloud. Can bat but bowling affected.

Beau Webster would be seriously close to a call up. Contributing with ball and bat for Tasmania very consistently.

Being a pink ball test, If we cant get the job done with 3 quality paceman, we got even bigger problems that just the batting

Really wouldn't debut anyone in this test, But more than one change thereafter if we shit the bed again..

Aside from your opener, I’d doubt your selectors will make changes regardless of what happens

I do agree. Our 3 pace attack is as good as any in the world.

Starc with the pink ball will be very dangerous. He bowled well enough against India in the 1st test. I'd say the pick of our bowlers.

Webster is just in such good form with bat and ball. Keeps getting the job done. If it comes down to overs in any of the remaining tests he will be next in.

as bad as he looked, I don't think anyone should be dropped for one bad test match, but f**k me, he looked bad
