Should be 3 and 4!!


They were 4 & 5 in the first dig.

I think that's fair as we need to develop an opening pair and a number 3.

If head is to be a test opener he has to open.

Otherwise, like you, 3 and 4.


Where has this derived from? He goes well at 5 so he should stay there, batting at 5 for the Redbacks though means you're only a wicket or two away from the tail unfortunately.

Ian Chappell, in short:

Former Australia captain Ian Chappell has warned the hosts against using Travis Head as opener against India. Australia will host India for a 5-match Test series starting November 2024, and will hope to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in home turf.

Australia have been facing a conundrum at the openers' position after the retirement of David Warner. The spot was filled by the legendary Steve Smith, however, the batter has not looked assured for the majority part of his stay. Smith has scored runs at an average of 28.50 as an opener, which is much lower than his averages at No.3 of No. 4, which stand at 67.08 and 61.51 respectively.

ADVERTISEMENT
Australia have been pondering other options for the opening spot as Smith Smith's experience in the middle order could turn out to be invaluable against India in the showpiece bilateral series. One of the names floated around was Travis Head, who opens for Australia in the white-ball formats of the game and has helped the side clinch the ODI World Cup 2023, played in India.

Beaten by the clock.

Take the draw 5 down after being 4/23

McSweeney and Carey with tons standouts.

Perhaps Carey our best.

Man of the match the young NSW opener Sam Konstas with twin tons.

All three games drawn.

Changing because someone complains seems like really milquetoast-esc behaviour.

When it was 100ish required off 20ish overs that was the time to make a move.



How bad must Buckingham be with the stick if he's got Pope batting ahead of him :shock:

I’d rather lose chasing a win than settle for a draw.
Mindsets need to change.
They really could have won this.

Oh well take the draw and build on it.
