Looks like Cowan will end his brief career after this game. Can't see how you can keep picking an opener averaging less than 30 unless you are Bangladesh.

Yeah I would as well, but probably not that much longer. For someone who doesn't have the domestic record to back it up, I don't think you can afford to give them that much time if they are failing, especially given his age.

I would pick Khawaja out of those 3 Ruckus, but he really doesn't deserve it immediately. I don't think Cowan necessarily deserves any extra time since Khawaja and Marsh didn't get any longer. Of course Cowan could perform in the second dig..
Someone like Michael Klinger would probably perform better than Cowan and he's coming off a solid Shield year. At 31 though I would say he's not going to get an opportunity.

Khawaja would be the best best out of those three seeing as he is younger than Cowan and a far superior technician compared to Hughes (my opinion).

No front foot game is better than no game whatsoever... Hughes

Sammy is most definitely not good enough to bat at 6. He could possibly pass at 7 if Baugh moved to 6, but that'd be a mistake in my eyes. Sammy honestly doesn't offer enough to the WI team to be selected in my opinion- not a great bowler, slogging, unreliable style of batting, absolutely atrocious slips and outfield catching.

A career average over 40 after nearly 100 tests says you are way off the mark. To even compare Strauss with a guy like Cowan is clutching at a rather large straw.
Anyway, back to this match. Aussies will be happy enough with the start.
