3rd Test: Australia v South Africa at Adelaide on Nov 24-28, 2016

[T-Boon]

Warner is more suited to 5 or 6, at Test level surely?

you should rethink that, because thats what I think.

There is an argument for it.

Ive been harping on about it all week but australias real problem has been the middle order. like yeah we have collapsed a few times but there is an expectation that once the top 4 are out the whole side is out.

Like if we look at england their top order (well cook and root) have been outstanding which has allowed their 5,6,7 to score a lot of runs. bairstow is leading the world in runs scored in 2016.

The rot started imo with voges, marsh and nevill as harsh as that is.

 

[Desert Qlder]

I am enjoying the way Khawaja is carving out this innings.

 

[Canard]

Really impressed by Uzi this series.

Shown the temperament that is needed for Tests.

 

[Sphagnum]

Bring back shawn darsh

 

[Mr Angry]

Na Warner opens.

Slips too.

Build around it.

Maybe the odd over, no outfield anymore.

It is a simple game

 

[Mr Angry]

We need a 5 &6 and a keeper.maddison may turn out a good 5, not sure on the 6.

Already written off Handscombe? Patterson should have been picked over Maddinson. Still interested to see how he goes though.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I'll be more impressed with Khawaja when he scores a hundred. Needs to go on with starts.

Handscombe's form has been poor this Test, hasn't scored a run yet.

 

[Canard]

Yes like the rest of the side has been doing so far this series.

 

[Meapro Ham]

What the selectors have done with Khawaja is the perfect example of what's wrong with Aust cricket. He's 29, should be a senior player with 70 tests. Instead still trying to establish his place because of fickle selectors

 

[AlwaysGreen]

He's got 7 more years to carve out a very good career. He would make a better vice captain than OLED.

50. 50 more at least to go please.

Yep, whilst I am loving his batting atm, I can sense within myself that I will turn on him bitterly if he gets out before 100.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I was gutted when Uzi got out for 97 in perth.

Warner at 5. Solves 2 problems. He's not going anywhere, but he doesn't have a Test match openers mindset. Meanwhile, you've got Voges stinking it up at 5.

Warner to 5 would be a great move....you just got to figure out who your 2 openers are.

Great leave smith

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Kyle abbott looks like a serial killer.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

We would have been bowled out by now if not for Wade's presence in this team,his aura giving these muppets confiedence
