Message: [QUOTE="mitch222, post: 2924451, member: 8605"] We are seriously fucked without Smith and Warner. They were our two best batsmen hands down and by a considerable margin. Our fragile batting lineup at best is now possibly the worst in test cricket. A number of players dont deserve their spots in the team now but will be spared the axe because of what has happened. Marshs x2, Khawaja (ive had enough of him, i was willing to give him a chance but he hasnt improved, stamp the file never to play again), and I fear Paine will be only selected now because we need a captain which is a pathetic approach. I laughed the other day when Clarke said he was considering coming out of retirement but I am seriously warming to the idea now because our other options just have no class. Burns and Renshaw failed miserably both innings and have already had chances, Handscomb i have no idea what is going on with him now and there isnt much talent banging the door down at home either. This next 6 months is going to be the most crucial time in Australian cricket team ever because we are basically rebuilding an entire batting lineup with no star to build around. They need class in that lineup to begin with even if they are on the younger side. Jake Lehmann has the pedigree and should get a slot in the team but we desperately need to uncover a batting superstar in the next 6 months if they really want to move on from Smith & Warner.
