Gabba record aside, India will be feeling supremely confident after Australia's disgraceful bowling 'effort' today.
Our only hope is for us to bat first, and our only batsmen in Smith/Labs to score big runs. Hopefully we turn up for once and give it to that flog Ashwin.
Peaheart Starc will somehow keep his spot. Fingers crossed no one upsets the poor lil fella in the lead-up or he'll drop his bundle again.
Im not a big fan of Starc but the SCG was a f**king road and I think he deserves another shot as he has brownie points in the bank. Rightfully, he should be under the microscope though. Somebody suggested Henriques......no f**king way. One allrounder is enough and Green is a better bet than Henriques.
I'd have no passengers for this test....fit or don't play.
Pukovski safe
Warner safe
Marnus safe
Smith safe
Head edgy I'd have him there by default...more likely than Wade. This spot is very much up for grabs amongst batsmen around Australia.
Green safe
Paine (Very poor last test and average summer. Pick him....if he fails, look elsewhere. One more chance for me).
Cummins safe
Starc edgy...has enough brownie points to stay on. If he was moved on, I would not complain. Im tired of our best bowler not getting the new ball because Starc is useless with an old one.He needs a bounce back and the Gabba should give him an opportunity. Pick him.
Lyon safe...lack of options elsewhere.
Hazlewood safe
