I would honestly have a team that was structured like
Renshaw
Warner
Khawaja
Smith
Handscombe
Head
Neville (keeping to spin ability gets him over the line)
O'Keefe
Starc
Hazelwood
Lyon
This is the 11 I would go with aswell.
Why the love for Khawaja? Doesnt even make the touring squad for mine. We have to start picking the best players of spin, we know we will get a day 5 wicket on day 1. Khawaja was dropped in Sri Lanka just recently.
Who do you pick instead Daisy?
Im not sure, but I reckon Smith should bat 3 in the sub continent, I dont know if Renshaw can play spin either, Does Maddison play spin well? I dont follow our Australia A tours to sub continent enough to know who has done well there in the past. IMO shield form should be irrelevant, its the tours in those conditions that should carry more weight.
We have to get the selections right or we will be 2-0 down before we get the right bats in.[/quote]
I'm with you here. Khawaja was like a sitting duck against the Lankans and don't reckon he has fixed his game enough to counter it. Trav is a pretty good player against spin and as much as it hurts to say, both Marsh lads are competent against spin
