Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3416266, member: 9881"] The thing I worry about is that our test batting lineup is too permanent. Look 100% we have a series in Australia Head bats for us. But we are in the sub continent and we have a bloke who has an average of 25 overseas and 2 50’s batting 5. I am hesitant to even give him the 6. But every movement that happens in our side is viewed as a demotion, promotion or a sign that you are on the outer. Look we need to be ruthless and for mine we need more blokes to be genuinely in the conversation for away test matches especially. Glenn Maxwell for example is perfect to be playing that 6 role in the sub continent. He is the epitome of a sub-continental batter and he is a finger spinner that relieves the need to have 2 quicks and 2 bowlers. Obviously Sweppo got the job done the other day but there sure as shit are still doubts. We have 4 world class quicks (ScoBo has entered that group for mine, dominated in Aus A as well) yet we are playing 2 and arguably we would do just as well with the other 2. For mine we have a number of batters who deserve the opportunity to have a test or two for some experience and to see what level they are at. Cause it’s not like they are firing on all cylinders at the moment. It is quite a disjointed and dysfunctional batting group that really is being held together by individual efforts from Khawaja with inconsistent inputs from Green, Carey, Head and Warner. Whilst the two biggest in stature are doing **** all. Need to put some pressure on them somehow cause they need to pull there fucken heads in. I’m sick of watching them play like shit and they will capitulate against India and even someone like South Africa who have a decent bowling attack shaping up. - Phillipe - Maxwell - Maddinson - Renshaw - Hardie - Hunt - Marsh Look I’m not saying they are all demanding selection but for mine Phillipe (as a batter, his glove work means shit all to me in red ball cricket I like Carey at this stage), Maxwell and Hardie should probably be getting look ins over the next 12 months. Maxwell as soon as next game. He could be a real feature for the test team in sub continent tours in the future if it proved successful. We are also definitely able to beat Sri Lanka without Travis Head for a game and with Maxwell. [/QUOTE]
