Good squad. About the best we could have mustered. Marsh and Neser very unlikely to be used, prob didn;t need the extra person (17 instead of the normal 16).

Great to see the two Lauderdale Primary school lads playing there first test together. Who''d have thought those two keepers growing up would play Test cricket together!

Great to see Patto picked as well.

Go get em lads!

Surely your not insulting Paine by calling Wade a fellow wicketkeeper , back stop would be a compliment

If so, with four of the top six having question marks about ability and temperament, it may well be a long 5 days.

Or should that be a short 5 days...?

Straya to bat first. Siddle to partner Pattinson and Cummins. No Starc or Hazelwood. Brave. Win and its a masterstroke, lose and the cries will come "we should've picked Starc and Hazelwood ".

Very surprised that we went with Siddle. I hope the old fox has a few wickets in him. Happy otherwise with the team.

Lots of ads, useless experts and gambling promotion - might turn it down and sync the radio

Harris a bit stiff, selectors obviously want the left and right hand combination of Warner and Bancroft.
Happy with the bowling attack.

He should tell the bowlers he smashed it like he’s gonna smash them
