proposed team

Renshaw
Khawaja
Marnus
Smith
Head
Handscombe
Warner
Green
Carey
Cummins
Murphy

That team should be able to get over 200 and bat for 2 and a half sessions.
Could see the game go into the first session of the fourth day

Warner needs to be humiliated for the rest of the series so he never plays again.

We can't afford to be automatically 1 down in England this ashes.

I believe Warner has to go. But Renshaw? People seem so definite that he's the answer. I've seen nothing to show he's going to succeed at this level in the 5 years he's been out of the team.

And how can you replace a guy who scored 0 and 10 with a guy who scored 0 and 2?

It's just shuffling deck chairs on the titanic.

Problem is that this should have been sorted months ago. Warner can't score away yet looks like a champ at home - this has been going on for years.

The 200 at the MCG should have been celebrated as the exclamation mark of a good career and the SCG test a farewell.

Indian officials on Monday confirmed the third Test against Australia would be moves from the picturesque stadium in Dharamsala after a pitch inspection found the new wicket to be substandard.
Instead the third Test will be played in Indore, where the Australians have never played a Test match.

“Owing to harsh winter conditions in the region, the outfield lacks sufficient grass density and will need some time to develop fully,” a BCCI statement said on Monday.

“The third Test ... has now been moved to Holkar Stadium, Indore.”

Only two Tests have ever been played at Indore, both won by the home team, with the last being in 2019.

you can't take 20 wickets if you only get to bowl once
Pick a team that can get 200 runs in an innings

That kinda wont work if we let them get 400 when they have a bat once

Agree we need to score a few more runs, but we need to bowl them out quicker as well x twice

I doubt you can find a team that could bowl India out for under 150 twice

couldn't repeat in the next 3 tests
so strategy is either bowl India out for low 100s each innings or lose

Strategy is bowl better than allowing them 400. Cummins was dreadful, Lyon was predictable

Bowling can improve, not sure the batting can, unless Smith and Marnus get going

getting rid of Lyon will help, he has never been a threat to India
