Message: [QUOTE="Bongo, post: 3583479, member: 8455"] I agree. I also don't think shield averages are the gold standard for selection either. I would expect guys like Bancroft or Harris who are 30 and have played at test level to have a good shield average. Their average should be better than a younger player on the way up learning their craft. I still don't think anyone of the openers have been performing at the level to demand selection. Pucovski is the one to bring in when the time is right if he can overcome his health issues. Not sure that will definitely happen unfortunately. I am still not convinced about Renshaw except that he is good against spin so is worth keeping in the picture for the sub-continent, especially given his flexibility to bat down the order. Harris is like Shaun Marsh with a history of underperforming despite multiple opportunities. The difference is Shaun Marsh had the class to be a world beater and put in some great innings but just couldnt string it together. Harris hasn't even hit a 100 anywhere in test cricket. It would be like bringing back TPJ picking Harris again. [/QUOTE]
