Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3692026, member: 8423"] I'm quite open about my list fettish. I do really like Connolly and I'm aware he hasn't made an FC ton but at the same time, neither has Jacob Bethell from NZ and he currently averages 52 after three tests in NZ with 3 fifties batting at three and coming in with an FC average in the 20s. Connolly averages in the 60s and yes, I also know it is a small sample size. My rationale is that it is in Sydney, traditionally a spin friendly pitch, so his part time tweakers might be handy. McSweeney has also already been given a test, what not give another extremely talented young guy a shot? Washington Sundar was about the same age when he debuted in Australia on the last two and played a significant contribution to that series' win and again this test to possibly helping India save it. Honestly, my number one priority is get rid of Marsh and I don't care if it is McSweeney, Connolly, Hardie or Webster who replaces him. If they go with McSweeney, I won't be upset by any means and as we've discussed previously, he is a far better bowler than he gets credit for. I'm also excited for Richardson likely coming in, he'll be a handful for India with his late swing and seam movement. Plus he is a more than handy lower order bat. Aside from being a right-armer, he is probably the closest thing Australia has in the squad to Starc. [/QUOTE]
