He was in the ODI team for a while instead of the Test team and he was ok. Then for some reason it flipped.

tbh i don't care for his record in "international cricket", talking tests so i only really care about the long form - and true as it may be his record isn't particularly stellar it's four tests, some of which were being thrust in as the "funky pick" once series were already lost in a demoralised squad. hardly compares to the run of chances head's been given in very favourable situations in which he's done sweet heck all whenever there's been pressure...
re what was said by burgey on the page prior, yeah he's a bit old - i see the pick only as a stopgap; takes over the captaincy from paine while green or marn00s can get some domestix captaincy experience and guys like, yeah, tim ward, or whoever, get a bit more time in aus domestix (and hopefully get a county stint or the opportunity to play first class in another country too)

Honestly think marnus is a bit shot atm. Couldn't buy a running Qld grade cricket this season and did **** all in county. There's been moments of random greatness like the 250 for Glamorgan 2nd's or his blast campaign, but don't think heyll be producing the sheer weight of time he has been since the 2019 county stint.

I wouldn't really have a problem with Moises over Head. I'd pick Head personally but I wouldn't be outraged or give you daily updates; there's plenty of logic to it. Maxwell, Pucovski and Khawaja also have good cases, although the latter two would be better suited batting higher up.
It's Wade where I draw the line.
**** Wade.

I mean it could well be the "managing effort" thing you see from a lot of top players when they play domestic cricket but yeah this was why I always held off on saying he's world class on the back of basically one and a half good seasons.

could street come in to the middle order as an anchor man? this middle could do well for someone who, even if only getting travis head esque scores can at least do it in 100 balls rather than 60

I'd open with Khawaja and bat Pucovski at 5. It's not going to happen, but I didn't want to phrase my post in a way that my actual preferred lineup would be impossible.

it's certainly always been like that on here. but yeah that was my vibe too.

Whatever it takes!!!
Will say this and plz do take this with a pinch of salt as I am a fan of Marnus, but averaging 40-45 in this era is almost as good as averaging 50-55 in the noughties.

Agree with the sentiment, but -- not if you play half your games in Australia.

Even Oz wickets have gotten dicier in recent years, but yeah I think he should be aiming for higher than early 40's.

I think the runs have fallen proportionately even in Australia post 2015, which is when he debuted.
