Marnus has the # 3 spot there for the taking hopefully he consolidates and keeps Khawaja out of the side.
Marnus is a fighter with a good eye perfect attributes from the #3 bat at this time.
No more Khawaja no more Marsh and Warner and Paine can move on also for the future

I said earlier I had my doubts about trying to make a wicketkeeper into a batsman.

Thanks for your efforts Matty but that’ll do.

Star is Smith.

Bloody wonderful player who you would have loved to see how he would have gone in another era, say against the West Indies...

So true Baron.

You cant teach kids what Smith does.
 
Paine just needs to hang around ... make a 50 ..
Smith is an unorthodox genius ..

Smith has come back better than ever yet Warner has regressed remarkably. Wonder why?
Several factors. His wife just had their third child. He's denying his combative nature by trying to be a good guy. Broad is a genius bowler to left-handers. A lot going on and his head is mucked up.

Smith's idea of a perfect day is facing 1000 throw-downs. Life's simple: eat cricket balls for breakfast.

Spot on Spook. Add one more important element.

Warner has always been very susceptible, actually really poor against the moving ball. Never scored a century in England. Coming to the end of his third Ashes tour.

He's purely a batsman for Australian conditions where it comes on fast and true and he can hit hard through the line. Just doesn't have the technique or soft hands elsewhere.

Smith 125

Paine 22 . Just needs to hang in there.
