If you want to go quickly, go alone.

Head v Renshaw for the final spot.
Renshaws stretch means he may be better suited to negating spin out of the rough.
It's not as if Heads form on the sub continent demands selection.

This is very true.. but then why not go Handscomb the right hander? Surely a right hander would handle better than a lefty with reach?

Head’s recent Test form does demands selection

Handscomb is in as well.

It's a horses for courses selection, they do it with bowlers all the time just so rarely with batters.

I don't mind it, I think we would all agree gun to head Renshaw & Handscomb are better players of spin....?

Trav will be back first test of the Ashes/Test Championship Final
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

When did what hand you wank with become a factor in choosing players?
Pick the best team regardless of wanking hand.

How do you work on your deficiencies if you are denied the opportunity that you've earnt?

What if them two perform well, will Head get lost to the wilderness, with Green to return he could be 4th in line for two possible spots.

He’s one of the first picked at home but he is still questionable on the sub continent IMO

Harder to have a horses for courses policy for batsmen because if you're a good bat, you're generally a good bat. :D

So is Warner, didn't he go ballistic in the ODI's vs Pakistan?

I think he's improved a few rungs since he has taken the Stokes led English approach.

So Travis Head is omitted because of his record in Asia or whatever
Yet David Warner , a perennial failure in Asia is selected[ He averages 33 in the sub cont ?]

Makes more sense to open with Renshaw drop Davy , and play The Trav
This is subject to David Warner batting right handed this test

Yep, no way Warner can play the Ashes or it just further proves what a bunch of cowards the selectors are
