Who you bringing in to open?

At the end of the day he literally is adding no value to the side so you might as well bring in any young cricketer who shows potential at least we might have a future test batsmen on our hands.
The bolter for mine is Bryce Street from Queensland.....you heard it here first. lol.

Whisper that Southee has been dropped for disciplinary reasons - calling a review himself without following team protocols. Which has happened before apparently

A combination of being given more than ample opportunities for an at best par return, currently out of form, age not being on his side for me means his very replaceable.
We might not of lost many tests with him in the side this summer but you could literally have played with ten players and we still would have won every test.
Even David Warner is 33 and with a definite career in t20 awaiting him i wouldn't think he will go around for many more years. We might as well try and blood a promising cricketer whilst we have a strengthening middle order.
It's not that big a deal im really non fussed either way, like i said Burns seems like a good bloke but if ever there was a time we could afford to try a youngster now is it.

Such a shit way to get out and you could see Warner was spewing with himself. Wagner's trap (while not well executed on that occasion) works again.locky801 wrote:Warner gets another start and doesnt go on with it, has had an average series

I can't see any need to change at this stage. The only player who could come in and average 3-5+ more opening up is Uzzie for me but I doubt anyone wants to go back to him?
Compare Burns's stats to the other openers around & he's going well. He deserves the two Bangladesh tests at least.

Oh I agree, the way Burns moved made it look ugly. I just think it was still a real good delivery and with the swing de Grandhomme got he would nick up most batsman in that sort of fashion.Brodlach wrote:Not often I disagree with you TDK but Burns played that ball terribly.

Burns got a delivery today that is good enough to get a majority of right handed batsman out.
Anyway good work DB, there's the evidence to show everyone that Burns is still the best option to partner Warner at the top of the order but while I think he should be there for the tour of Bangladesh he needs some runs in the second half of the Sheffield Shield season to justify his spot.
I think the most realistic options to replace him would be Harris and Khawaja but with Burns and Renshaw being the incumbent openers for Queensland then Khawaja won't open for them in the near future. If Harris get some runs in the second half of the shield season then he might challenge Burns for his spot, at 27 he has the age edge over some of the others.
Hughes at 30 has been a good opener for NSW but probably hasn't done enough or more than the others to stand out.
Renshaw at 23 is the one we all hope can make a mountain of runs as he still has plenty of time to work his way back into the side.
Weatherald at 25 has plenty of time on his side and potential aswell but needs to become more consistent.
Bancroft has had more opportunity than anyone else because he is one of Langers boys, I'd be disappointed if they drop Burns for him or pick him instead of Harris or Renshaw.

Disagree. I think those stats proved that he is barely ahead of any of the other options and being 30 and out of form is enough reason to potentially give some one else a go that is more of a long term answer. Even with Khawaja at least he has the upside that his absolute best is 'world class'.. Burns doesnt even have that on his side.
