Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3416259, member: 8423"] Australia is in a bit of trouble with openers. Both Warner and Khawaja are 35 and don't have long left. Hunt looks serviceable but Ward fell off a bit last season. Renshaw just cannot seem to bat at 1 or 2 anymore (though decent in the middle order). Pucovski is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO important moving forward. Fill in the blanks: 1. 2. 3. Labushagne (his form drop has to be a little worrying, though obviously he has bought himself a LONG time here to sought it out) 4. Smith (he is getting on now too and seems to be following the great Aussie tradition of falling off a cliff once turning 32, hopefully he can buck this trend) 5. Green (he can certainly but anywhere from 3-6 in the event Smith retires or Labs continues his downward trend in a year or three) 6. Head 7. Carey (his batting has come on nicely so credit to him but his keeping is still really poor, seems another Matthew Wade at the moment but he is making contributions so he has done enough to stay) 8. Cummins (Obviously a lock) 9. Starc (32 now, history suggests bowlers only have 1 or 2 years left at this point) 10. Lyon (He could keep going for another 2-3 years) 11. Hazlewood (Has another 3-4 years left I'd say) So Australia need to start succession planning positions 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11 Who fills those spots? [/QUOTE]
