Poll
Question:
Who should com into the test squad?
Option 1: Shaun Marsh
votes: 5
Option 2: Michael Klinger
votes: 9
Option 3: Callum Ferguson
votes: 4
Option 4: Cameron Bancroft
votes: 7
Option 5: Ed Cowan
votes: 2
These names were thrown up on ABC by Gerard Wheateley and Ryan Harris.
Obviously assuming Usman won't be fit for the Adelaide test.
Who comes in?
I'm so upset, injuries are killing him.
Hopefully it's either Bancroft or Klinger, both are pretty deserving.
I wouldn't mind if Fergie finally got a gig
if not him, get Bancroft in there. go the youth option
What happened?

What happened?
he did his hammy while running for the ball. not sure how bad it is yet
One vote for all 5 options at this stage lol
I really really want Klinger to be given the game. But voted Cowan because I like him the most of the 5 :) Just not Bancroft, no way he deserves the game over one of the other 4 guys there.
Needs to be someone who will be easy to drop, so I reckon Marsh :P
Anyone but Marsh.
21% of voters on the ABC Website say Glenn Maxwell...
Glenn Maxwell will not come into the side. 21% of voters need to understand we are talking about a number 3 spot for a Test match, not a number 4/5 for the BigBash.
Anyway, Australian cricket is so stupid they have already tried Maxwell at 3 in a test match ;D ;D Ahhh that is just hilarious isn't it. Maxwell has a test cap but Klinger does not and Voges only recently got his first.
So he'll miss the next two tests.
The more I think about it, the more I believe it has to be one of the WA boys. Bancroft, Klinger, Marsh.
Hopefully Bancroft gets a go.

I reckon it depends on the result of this game.
Draw or Lose and go with Klinger or Marsh
Win and go with Bancroft
Bancroft didn't really do himself any favours in the Shield game currently going on against the Vics, that said he'll get another innings to have another go.
Maddinson's name was floated, not sure he'll be picked though.
Maddinson i didn't think of, don't mind him.
Bancroft did ton up at Adelaide last week though.
Gonna be same ground but different ball.

Good point.
They said the squad for the 3rd test will be named on Day 5 of this test. Didn't say whether it would be before, during or after the match.
Seeing as Khawaja has proven himself, there is no point playing another young, up and comer when they'll lose their spot to him once he's fit again. Klinger once again top scored today with 70, is in absolute top notch form, played with SA for the majority of his career, and at his age, he will be limited in the tests he plays, so is the perfect replacement for Khawaja while he's on the mend.
Bats at 3, has the experience to compose himself at the highest level, could potentially come into a 1-1 all drawn series and for me is the most likely replacement. Just my opinion though.

don't see Voges sticking around for too much longer, 36 now
Would love to see Maxy Klinger get the nod!
Way I see it it's like this
Should: Bancroft or Klinger
Will: Marsh

Yep, seems the most likely outcome.
If shaun marsh gets another go... F|_|K me, hes proven he will never be up to this level.
Two words. Michael Klinger.
I want Klinger to play but it will be Shaun Marsh
On form the selectors have to pick Klinger but i doubt they will.
Maybe if we get the win today they will pick Maxwell. The series will be over and with the Adelaide road pitch they may want to take another bowling option.
However they will likely pick Marsh. I dunno why..... his technique is no good. But we all know that and they still pick him.
Think sentimental fav is Klinger, but I would rather give it to Bancroft and say go out an enjoy it.

This, if we want immediate impact gotta be Klinger. If we want one for the future get Bancroft in there.
It would be a brutal injustice though imo if Klinger never played for Australia and this is really his best opportunity.
I reckon they will think about Maxwell. They will adjust the batting order.
1. Burns
2. Warner
3. Smith
4. Voges
5. Maxwell

Already a suspect Mitch Marsh at 6. And most importantly Khawaja is the future number 3, so you should leave Smith where he is at 4.
Smith is happy to move between 3 and 4.
I hear Steve Smith said he will most likely be batting at #3 for the next test

Yep, Marsh it is.
Way to surprise us, CA.
The only reason i can think of why they selected marsh is so that he is easy to drop when usman comes back........ Although a games experience could be a good thing for Bancroft to get into him... may as well play him and if he fails so what, not like marsh offers anything more besides being 10 years older.
Klinger once again stiff.... But he is 35... so tough to select him.
Patto, O'keefe and Marsh added to the squad. Will they play 2 spinners?
Quote from: Capper on November 18, 2015, 12:28:18 PM

No chance. If they need additional spin, voges or smith can pinch hit. O keefe isnt going to get much done out there.

agree, haven't seen Voges bowl but Warner can bowl leggies as well
The curator at the Adelaide oval was gonna leave a fair bit of grass on the pitch to preserve the ball. However, Adelaide is expecting very hot temperatures leading up to and including the match. They are worried it will turn into a dry dustbowl, similar to something seen on the sub continent

Makes me want to be sick. What a joke this is!
I maintain that if Marsh wasn't a name involved in cricket he wouldn't have been picked. Isn't Geoff on the selection panel or something?

Rod is the chairman though.
Not that that is relevant :P #norelation
I know that, but I'm assuming PB may have thought that and got mixed up or assumed the relation.
I knew about the no relation bit, still thought Geoff was involved though :-[
Well, hopefully he proves Boof right but Klinger was a better option.
At least it wasn't Maxwell....

Marsh could make a ton in each innings and it still wouldn't be the right choice. I've seen him make runs on roads before, he's good at that.. In fact, he's probably the best choice if you're just looking to win this test match. But why the need for the selectors to be so short-sighted?

Never thought I'd say this, but I'd honestly prefer Maxwell.
So apparently Uzzie's not gonna be able to walk straight back into the side. He's gonna have to play two Big Bash games with the Thunder are show he's fit and ready enough to warrant his spot in the side.
I don't like it at all.

The D6s owner of Khawaja will be happy with that :D Speaking of Big Bash and D6s, almost time for a T20 auction!
So who does Usman Khawaja replace? ???
Maybe S Marsh Opens, UK back to 3rd drop and Smith down to 4?
They won't drop Burns
unfortunately Richo, I can see them dropping Burns
Warner - safe
Burns - ?
Smith - safe
Voges - made a massive double
S.Marsh - also coming off a century
M.Marsh - ?
unless they drop Mitch Marsh and play 6 batsmen, 4 bowlers and Nevill, but I don't see that happening
:(
Actually :) I'll have him in D6s :D
Apparently Boof has backed in Uzzie to open. If that isn't the strongest indicator yet they're genuinely considering dropping Joe Burns, I'm not sure what is. :-\
Uzzie deserves his spot in the side, just at the expense of Burnsy. One of the Marsh boys has to go.
Can't drop S.Marsh... M.Marsh is the next Australian All-Rounder.
Burns needs to stay in the team though imo.
Dammit Marsh, why'd you have to ton up haha
Of course they should drop S Marsh.

So what Ele? M.Marsh hasn't performed at all during this tour. In reality, this tour is going to be a whitewash, surely, so why not give all the batsmen a run to distinguish who our best will be for the upcoming tours.
MMarsh has hardly had a chance to perform with the bat on this tour. He's come in when the teams already on 1324637 runs, so we don't really have a fair indicator. His bowling has been pretty good, and we know that as an Australian all rounder you don't have to be able to bat, bowl or field (Watson).
Quote from: Jayman on December 13, 2015, 09:31:56 PM

Exactly. S Marsh is the reserve batsman, he came in, he performed, awesome. Now he goes back to being the reserve because the others are all better than him. Smith has a little knee issue he might not play Sydney anyway.
Shaun marsh pulling the Brad Hodge, comes in as replacement, when his person he replaced is fit he will go. Its not fair, but thats how it is. Usman is the future and as soon as fit he walks in. For me its simple, marsh gone. The selectors would be going backwards if they dropped Burns, as they selected him as an opener for the future.

Dunno if we've been watching the same M.Marsh but its incredibly hard to get yourself in when your role is to smash out 30 runs in 20-odd balls before a declaration. Basically this:

Ftr, I believe they should drop S.Marsh but flower me he'd be feeling stiff.
From memory we've seen Forrest, Cowen, Doolan, Burns, Maxwell, Khawaja and Rogers try to stabilize the top order ......
UK will make it, hopefully they keep him #3 now that he's fit. Rogers made it, finally! But the others?
I cant see Burns being any better than a S Marsh or the others mentioned yet! Meaning Burns is dropped .........
