that is a ridiculously good bowling attack if they get things right.

Would probably take Siddle over Hazlewood for this test though.

Especially considering Hazlewood's workloads were off the charts before Perth. No way he should be picked for Adelaide.

Pattinson-Starc-Siddle-Lyon. O'Keefe at 7 is tempting to avoid SMarsh, but that involves MMarsh at 5...

Opting for the NSW school of team balance when 1-0 in a test series with a game to play would be one of the less intelligent things Australia have done in recent years, and there's been lots of competition.

The big question is how the pink balls have played at various grade cricket net sessions around Australia, even though they don't seem to be commercially available yet. Come on Jack, don't keep us waiting, I know you've managed to snaffle some.

More concerned about blue balls than pink ones atm, tbph

Part tounge in cheek based on not thinking that Darsh is worth it. If that team actually played Nev at 5 would be more likely to try and bat a partnership than Mmarsh. He's more likely to show #intent and get out.

You're going to taste it so much if Marsh makes any runs. You'll still be tasting it in 15 years IMO.

Yeah I just want to see SoK play somehow. Love me some O'Keefe LBWs resulting from people inexplicably playing for turn.

Is the whole "look at this great family" thing CH9 did every time Marsh did something decent in Perth up there with Khawaja's debut and the Quiney 9?

can we expect Taylor to fire again? Or is he only good one for good innings a series

Given that NZ play mostly 2-test series and Taylor usually takes a game to get warmed up, I'd say yes, usually, to the second question. Three consecutive hundreds at home against the Windies being the counter or the exception depending on how you choose to view it.

What would really work is for Chappell or one of the other comms to voice your first question publicly and get him sufficiently revved up.

On the subject of O'Keefe, when was the last time Australia played two spinners at home? Five bowlers would be super interesting but, well, un-Australian
