Ricky Thomas Ponting? I hear he used to make a living batting at three.
One of our best ever. Not sure if he is the solution now though. Im sure he wouldnt knock back the opportunity

Actually we would probably be worse off because i wouldnt have had Hilfy in side.
I honestly dont know what to do with the batting lineup, seems like we have tried most things.
Still would have liked to stick with Khawaja for a little longer

The statement you made suggesting that Ponting would struggle batting at No 3![]()
and the Hilfy stance you took earlier in the week, and the conviction in which you endorse Dan Christian over anyone else in the current Australian line up. How many more unproven players do you want in the team? We're actually on top in this match believe it or not. Wheres all your tripe about Hussey tonight?

I think back to our most successful era, and players like Hayden, Katich, Langer, Lehmann, Hussey etc were forced to compile 1000s of runs at domestic level on a consistent basis before they were given a spot. While the selectors took a punt occasionally on young guns that clearly showed freakish promise ala Ponting and Clarke. It seems in the past few years, the selectors have decided that rather than give opportunities to guys that have performed for years at domestic level (OK maybe our talent pool is a little average at present) they're happy to select 4 or 5 raw younger players that clearly lack the ability to concentrate for long periods in the middle. Personally Cowan an Khuwaja are the two that show the most cricketing-smarts as they are willing to see out the though periods and dig deep. Admittedly Khuwaja shot in the last innings of his last Test was a big lapse and a terrible choice of shot, but I think he shows the most. Yes guys like Warner are exciting and we need a guy like this at the top, but if we're looking for consistency he's not going to give it to us IMHO. Having said that I think he should be in the current team giving the absence of Watson. To me Marsh is a concern, he has always seemed nonchalent with his batting and that concerns me, he needs to value his wicket more. I'd stick with Ponting and Huss for a while until we settle these younger blokes in the team. I think if Haddin is coached properly he must stay.
Who knows, just some of my thoughts.
Well said swap. Your a very smart thinker. One would think maybe even some coaching ability maybe.you should coach a footy team with that thinking.
I think we need to lead by 285 to win this game. I really hope Hussey gets a ton tomorrow.

A bits and pieces player.
I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad recommendation...
