Oz openers have done a good job, if Renshaw comes in, does Khawaja move to 3?

Might even move Renshaw to 3

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Renshaw, Khawaja and Funch, maybe even SMarshcan all open, the most likely to kick on once in the position that Oz were in first dig is Renshaw and Marsh. However Khawaja and Funch have booked the spot for next test at least I think.

That'd be odd, given they bat in the reverse order in shield cricket.

It’s the kind of odd our selectors are built on

As long as renshaw plays...

hahaha jesus christ smarsh.

 

[stephen]

Here we go again.

 

[cnerd123]

lmao they're going to collapse again aren't they?

As long as renshaw plays...

Yeah he still hasn't had any time in the middle.

 

[NUFAN]

Perfect lineage and length to that batsman.

Haha yeah. Renshaw opens, Khawaja bats three, Finch bats five... so of course they'd open with Finch and Khawaja and bat Renshaw in the middle order.

Unfortunately I think it's even more likely they'll just keep on not picking Renshaw. I can definitely see Langer saying the openers went well and not changing the batting lineup due to that, even though neither of them are really openers anyway.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

What odds Oz don’t lose a wicket till Tea and still get bowled out tonight?

That would be funny if that happened

 

[Gnske]

Ready or not, here they come.

Guess it'll come down to how the innings finishes. An innings like the last one and it's nigh on impossible to justify an unchanged batting lineup (though nothing would surprise me). If they build a couple of partnership and get to like 280-300 or something then they'll probably keep the lineup.

It's nearly a certainty

Everytime I see Abbas bowl he looks the goods. Expecting him to tear it up in SA.

 

[ajdude]

this is out

 

[NUFAN]

Wow. Dire.
