^ Indeed, if they bat within their limitations, they may knock them off half-way through day one of the first Test of the next tour to SA, if cricket has not destroyed itself by then, drowned in its own moral turpitude.

Aussies will get Destroyed in the 4th Test and No Aussie will Probably watch it

Scenarios for the 4th. Test team.

1. Renshaw and Burns to open. Handscomb replaces Smith at #4.

2. Renshaw and Burns to open. Maxwell replaces Smith at #4.

3. Renshaw & S Marsh to open. Handscomb at #4. Maxwell at #5.

4. Renshaw & Khawaja to open. Maxwell at #3. Handscomb at #4.

5. Renshaw & Burns to open. Maxwell at #3. Handscomb at #4. Khawaja's double failure in the 3rd. Test could see him dropped. Unlikely.

All of the above sees M Marsh, Paine, Cummins, Starc, Lyon and Hazlewood retained.

How about Maxwell bats at 1, 2 and 4?

Post by **Donny** » Wed Mar 28, 2018 10:32 pm

Hard to work out why CA sent THREE batsmen, bearing in mind, Handscomb is already there, as the spare batsman.

Is Khawaja for the chop ?

If Khawaja or S Marsh are to partner Renshaw, why send Burns over there ?

If the 2 Q'landers open and Handscomb bats at #4, why send Maxwell ?

scenario no. 5, please - or anything that involves the dropping of Khawaja.
