Why isn’t Matt Renshawin the test opener mix? Surely a better option than:
Wade - will not succeed at top of order
Marsh - really? Again?
Burns - terribly out of form
Harris - see above

not even getting picked in the Qld side ....be a juge call gamble

Is that true? Renshaw not playing shield cricket? Wow!

didnt play in the 2 shield games i saw stats on ..might be injured
 
Renshaw showed promise in his one season opening for Australia. Had a bad Shield season afterward and fell into oblivion. Guys like Mitch Marsh, Marcus North and George Bailey who repeated failed in Test got chance after chance, and they dropped this young bloke quicker than a bag of hot sick.

Played three FC games for QLD.

Scored 48 against Tassie, 8 & 42 against NSW, and then last game he scored 168* and 10* against SA.

I'd wager he's injured.

marnus will open

Heinriques has been called in to the squad. I think you’re right Happy.
Top six could be:
Harris
Labuschagne
Smith
Head
Wade
Heinriques.
Personally I don’t like it. Fragile middle order

Nothing like what most people what most punters were think two weeks ago before all the injuries hit.
I think Starc is looking likely to be back from personal leave, which is a positive with the pink ball.

Hope he makes it back into the side either way ......he is traditional opener we need ....but I reckon Marnus could make the switch if we were looking at someone to partner Warner
 
still want
1. Harris
2. Khawaja won't happen so Wade
3. Labuschagne
4. Smith
5. Head
6.Green hopefully
7. Paine
8. Cummins
9.Starc
10.Lyon
11.Hazelwood
12.Pattinson
 
how did brisbane heat lose that game last night?
full tosses on middle to leg were cannon fodder for sams and cutting.
ben laughlin didnt bowl a different ball in those last couple of overs.
and i like ricky ponting saying that the bowling was pathetic- a commentator who speaks the truth.
i do support thunder but they were gone.
if brisbane heat were a racehorse,there would be a stewards investigation.
thats cricket!

So what does the forum think? Should batters be able to switch hit? As an old bowler I’d send the bastards out without a bat but that’s just me!!😂

The switch hitting doesn't bother me, I'm more concerned about the size of bats now days.

A six should be an exceptional shot scored by exceptional batsmen - not a mis hit over third man!!

If that were the case guys like Brett Lee and Mitch Johnson should never have hit a six in their careers.
