The funny thing is they dropped Renshaw for averaging 33.47, Finch then averaged 27.80 and he was also dropped for Bancroft (26.23) and Harris (25.29)

For someone who practices and lives for shadow batting like he does it seems strange to miss a game. Several articles hinted it's because of the uncertainty in his test batting position, whatever that means?
I prefer to think he couldn't get a NSW opener gig because Dan Hughes and Nic Maddinson have those spots locked up

Smith as opener is really dumb and cant understand what they get by moving a atg out of his favoured position but anway not complaining as indian fan opening is where we want him thats our best chance with bumarh and shamiFor someone who practices and lives for shadow batting like he does it seems strange to miss a game.

Border Gavaskar Trophy series: Cameron Green likely to feature as pure batter
Cameron Green’s return as a batter is a timely boost for Australia ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but the wait for his bowling comeback will test the team’s depth, as Mitch Marsh and others step up in his absence.

Don't think Marsh will bowl much. More pressure on big 3, quicks.
India to leave for Australia 2 weeks early & A team would already be there.
T20Is in SA would be with second string side.

Could play the keeper at six, Big Ness at seven then the big three and Lyon.
Not sold on Carey batting that high, mind you, and Inglis is still unproven at FC level. Might be a Hot Girl Philipe Summer.

The idea of Green opening was batshit insane when it was first proposed last season, and it's still batshit insane now. The sort of idiotic thinking that could absolutely kill his career

I don't disagree that strike rotation is definitely an area of his game that he could and should work on, but putting him into a role he has never done at FC level at all is NOT the way to do that

I just fine the idea that after greens done decently at #4 where gonna shuffle him around to accommodate a declining Smith who's lost his stumps across formats and moved to opening because of how far he'de declined against the older ball really silly. Messing around a guy who could bat 4 for 10 years (nevermind the bowling) on the hope Smith suddenly figures out his stuff against the best attack in the world is frankly silly.
