Might point out they Holder last session spent too much time bowling too short and/or wide to get an edge, again. Like he did when he was 'bowling well' at Perth.

Warners averaging 28 in tests since his monster summer vs Pak and NZ a few years back, and even at his best he wasn't someone I would back to make runs vs IND or ENG away.

Given the future schedule, what point do we start talking about dropping him? Not like we don't have people to replace him with. Don't think a situation where him and Usman call it quits at the same time and we need to find two new openers would work out very well either.

Unfortunately it's impossible to drop people who've played a lot of tests in Australian cricket these days. They always have to go out on their own terms, even if they're a waste of space. There seems to be little recognition of the fact five years' ago's stats do not predict tomorrow's performance.

Once again at Adelaide there's more people out the back of the ground than in. Are the $11.90 beers really that good?

Who's next in line? Still Pukovski? Assuming he hasn't gotten his leg amputated or something.

Don't think he's ever scored a ton in England or India; outside Bangladesh he hasn't scored an away ton since 2014.

Under normal circumstances there would be severe doubt about him playing in England/India next year but it's hardly been brought up. Instead it's all about whether he should be made a captaincy candidate again.

Any of Renshaw, Hunt, and Harris (who I desperately don't want, but he's got a lot of Shield runs). Even Bancroft is a chance, five centuries in nine Shield innings this year. But he won't be dropped unless he has a catastrophic SA series, and maybe not even then (hence my earlier post).

The real issue is Warner is not flash in India and averaged 9 in England, and the issues in his game that cause him problems there are only going to get worse as he ages. He's struggling to score at home. So the others are unlikely to be worse and may do better.

Wasn't the captaincy stuff more white ball focused?

Marnus is going to score 6 centuries in this series isn't he? 2 doubles and possibly a triple, with 3 not outs.
Along the way he'll be dropped 24 times, and score 450 runs in the 3rd man region.

What happened to Street?

Had bad form in club cricket this year and Renshaw's decision to move back up to open bumped him out of his spot (Burns is ahead of him in the pecking order). Amazingly Jack Clayton was still getting games ahead of him though when he looked totally out of his depth.
