Thoughts on the following team:

Cameron Bancroft
Michael Klinger
Kurtis Patterson
Peter Handscomb
George Bailey
Travis Head
Chris Hartley (wk, c)
Stephen O'Keefe
Chadd Sayers
Jackson Bird
Scott Boland

Just tried chucking together a team that played in the last round of the Sheffield Shield and isn't playing the current test. Also got names like: Moises Henriques, Adam Zampa, Chris Tremain, Cam White, Ed Cowan, Marcus Stoinis.

I'd put Tremain in over Boland. Take out Hartley, have Handscomb as keeper and put Bear in over Bailey. Not even Vic bias.

PowerBug

Yeah any combination of those players could work, I guess you could say Wombat bias by me? :P I did have Cowan in the XI originally haha Also this is probably why the Wombats are so pro in Shield, 5 players in that lot ;)

Hartley brings patience and a calm head which I like, and the Australian batsmen at the moment don't have.

I like Nevill as the test keeper.

Definitely think Voges needs to go... bring in a kid in good form (don't play players on potential *cough* MMarsh *cough*)

Yeah I like Nev as well.

Who would replace Voges through the middle order? Head?

Play called off. Dissapointing. I was looking forward to seeing Hazles bowl a few down the corridor of uncertainty.

Today is Australias best day of the series confirmed.

PowerBug

Number 6 and 7 scoring runs! Australia should try picking players that can do the same ;D

The hallway of hesitation, the doorway to departure, the corridor of uncertainty. Bowl it there!!
