Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 2782928, member: 8272"] Tuesday is a huge day for plenty of players. Batting wise: Last Test: Warner, Marsh, Smith, Voges, Henriques, M.Marsh. Bancroft playing against South Australia at the WACA in a day night game could be auditioning for the Test spot, while Khawja and Burns will be doing the same against New South Wales at the 'Gabba. If Marsh is fit he keeps his spot because he did so well last Test in Sri Lanka. But if Marsh is out then Burns and Bancroft need runs next week- they're really batting off against each other. Bancroft has in his column- it would be a home Test, nice foil for Warner, he's become really slow though. Burns, recently dropped, struggles against spin which they're going to throw at us and not a great fielder. Khawja- great last summer, home again so no turning tracks, poor fielder- needs to show a lot Tuesday but he would be a front runner for Henriques spot. For me- Henriques and Marsh are potentially out so it will then come down to the three. Bowling. Starc and Hazlewood- are automatic. Siddle hasn't played for six months so he's going to struggle. Starc will play against Queensland which will get him straight back from injury and if Burns/Khawja can get runs against him particularly if they're runs at night or dusk that will be a big tick. Perth last summer was dead- so you really need someone that can extract something from it. Bird got seven against New Zealand in February- so maybe, Pattinson hasn't played since February again a risk but was good in New Zealand- our problem is fitness! The third bowler is interesting I would go Marsh. Lyon and Nevill. Make up the rest. SA have picked an interesting side with two rookie spinners. They have taken note of what Sri Lanka were able to do. [/QUOTE]
