Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3686846, member: 8423"] I also like that India haven't been afraid to give some young guys a shot, even at the expense of some of their proven champions. You can say Australia has done this with McSweeney but what other choice did they have? As much as it would be harsh on Boland to overlook him in the rotation through the series, he's old and Australia is woefully unprepared for the mass retirement exodus incoming. Who replaces Khawaja? Smith? Marsh? Starc? Hazlewood? As much as I love Richardson, in many ways, he's a bowling Pucovski, he may never get his issues right. Australia doesn't even need to bring in super young guys, just guys closer to 30 than 35 at least. I'd be seriously looking at bringing in Inglis as a batsman for next test, Webster and O'Neill. So, I'd go: 1. Khawaja 2. Inglis 3. McSweeney (unless Labs scores something in the second innings) 4. Smith (this would be his last series for me unless he rediscovers something) 5. Head 6. Webster 7. Carey 8. Cummins (he has also been off for a while now, but he's captain, so he isn't getting dropped) 9. Starc 10. O'Neill (Hazlewood rotated out) 11. Lyon [/QUOTE]
