Street playing but not opening is pretty terrible imo

I prefer it to Street not playing, but yeah.

It seems the Aus selectors are considering Renshaw seriously as a backup opener and he did just make a double ton so fair enough, but seriously why does Burns have to open? He's clearly not going to play Tests again and he started his FC career as a #3-4 anyway - he's basically a makeshift opener himself.

There has to be an anti-Street agenda at CA for some reason

Is he a bit of a SOK-like personality

How did Renshaw go when he played in the SC? I can't remember if he acquitted himself decently or even if he's generally regarded as being decent in spinning conditions.

He did pretty well in India last time around, especially early in the series. Faded a bit later on iirc

Far better than most people expected.

I'd have him or handscomb at 5 for India

As long as Head doesn't play in India we've done something right

Also Renshaw should play ahead of Warner over there, if Warner is even still playing then

He will be till after the Ashes I reckon. Don't disagree with what you said but don't think they have the balls to drop Warner

I think very little of Renshaw picking and choosing where he bats, definitely motivated by personal ambition as opposed to the team's needs, but if he keeps making runs up top absolutely he should come back into the considerations of the Australian selectors

Worth noting today was the only other time he's passed 50 in the Shield this year apart from the double ton, although he did make runs in the PM's XI (pretty much Australia A though) game.

Not sure I would go that way myself, although I have warmed to the idea a bit compared to when he first moved back up

Yeah when you bat in binary for so long that you get dropped from your Shield team and only make a return in a totally different position, I'm really allergic to the idea that you should be considered for a Test spot in the position you got dropped failing in... even if you score some runs for a while.

See: Finch, A and Burns, J.

I rated Renshaw as an opener but getting dropped and then moving to 5 should have been a death warrant for his Test opening aspirations for at least 3 years IMO.

Agree with pretty much every word of this one


On a completely unrelated note, excellent to see such a strong team bowling effort from South Australia
