*Official* Australia in India 2023

There potentially going to dropping a young guy who averages 50+ in the shield and has done nothing wrong w/ the bat in this situation because he can't bowl, and renshaw got a go ahead of harris who had been with the squad for a year plus without getting a go, while renshaw was parachuted in for the 3rd test vs SA out of nowhere. They've been sending mixed signals for a while

To be fair, apparently Green hasn't yet faced pace in the nets.

To be fair, apparently Green hasn't yet faced pace in the nets.

Yeah I think if he was fit to bat he'd play as a bat, but that seems unlikely at this point.

 

[Burgey]

Why did we play Renshaw in the SCG test it was going to be Handscomb getting the nod ahead of him all along? I understand the logic for picking Handscomb (though personally I think the Indian pacers will know how to bowl to him) but it seems the plan has changed from picking Renshaw to Handscomb between the SCG test and now, when the threat of Ashwin to the left-handers should have been considered all along.

Of course it wouldn't have made a difference who played at the SCG, since Renshaw barely got a bat, but it just seems an interesting signal as to the decision making process going on.

I suspect Handscomb has got the nod because he's right handed. The fact he is nowhere near a test standard player apparently is of no importance.

That's fair, just saw the smith comments on cricinfo. Doesn't change the fact that harris was ****ed off for renshaw after touring with the squad for near a year between his last appearances. I don't think harris should have been anywhere near the squad to begin with but this isn't exactly new policy.

 

[Burgey]

I think it's great to keep Harris with the squad and not play him, because it stops him from making any runs in the Shield and actually making a real case to be recalled.

Aus vice captain told this morning
"Cameron Green likely to be left out from nagpur test"

 

[Shri]

Dry Nagpur pitch could see Aussies pick three spinners

Steve Smith said Cameron Green had all but been ruled out of the first test, and concluded the Nagpur surface was “particularly” dry at one end

He is yet to win a Test series against India in his career ?

Yes, that's what Coronis said.

Both Srilanka and West Indies are minnows right now and he rightly has his best record against them. The matches against BD have been in BD where pace is obsolete.
