Harris was interviewed on the radio about 1/2 hour ago. Said he is heading in for a scan on the hamstring he injured during the final test.

The short answer is David Warner has done more than any of his rivals for his position. That's why, provided Warner is fit and 'available', the selectors will chose he and Rogers to open the innings at The Gabba.

International Vice-Captain
He is in for Brisbane based on his 50 and how long a run he gets if he doesn't make runs is anyone's guess. Might depend if someone in the SS has a hot start and he's struggling. We really need the bats outside the team to start upping there game to put pressure on the incumbents and give form replacements.

Ok just put Bird in that spot. That was easy. Cummins might aswell retire now.

Maxwell pretty handy on Australian wickets. Also I dont know if you know this but Finch's shield average is 15.............Thats Poor.

was having a laugh about Finch, he barely deserves to be selected for his state.
Even if Maxwell is handy on Aussie wickets, he has given me no indication that he is a long form cricketer and there would never be need for a spin bowling all-rounder in Australia with Smitteh and Lyon in the side.

Yeah look not a huge fan of Maxwell but was trying to come up with a 17 man squad and we needed another Bat. Me personally I would like Shaun Marsh in the squad.

I see Shaun Marsh as a one day specialist just as I see Finch as a one day specialist, and their records support that theory. Marsh maybe, just maybe, could develop into a test player. Finch for mine will always be a short form of the game player.

Because, since the 2009 Ashes, the only Australians to have scored more centuries than him are Clarke and the retired.

Good on him. Early season form will be very valuable come selection time and Boof likes nothing more in cricket than blokes scoring 100s and more 100s.

I was really disappointed with him in the winter tbh, hope he starts well

To be honest, after getting mauled by Bhajji and Ashwin I'd be very reluctant to throw him to Swann.
Personally I think Hughes needs a full season's grace on home pitches at a designated position (ideally 6). He hasn't had one sine 2009-10 and we've invested too much in him to brush him off now.

Hughes should bat 3 or 4 in the SS and then come into the test side at 6 IMO, all batsmen in the test side should be in the top four for their state

Who are you talking about here, Marsh or Hughes? Cause Marsh didn't last long enough to get mauled by the spinners
