Said to be the squad (not official yet):
David Warner, Joe Burns, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Matthew Wade, Cameron Bancroft, Tim Paine (capt), Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood, James Pattinson, Michael Neser
Truly appalling that Bancroft and (especially) Burns are included. I can't see the point of Burns being in the squad, just to be 12th. man, meaning he'll open with Warner and Bancroft will miss out - along with Neser & Pattinson. _________________ Donny.

Surely, Khawaja had better credentials, esp. as an opener. _________________ Donny.

"Steven Smith fronted his Australian team-mates to apologise for drawing a dissent charge and fine in the Sheffield Shield as the captain Tim Paine reminded all members of the squad that they need to maintain standards of behaviour "regardless of who we're playing for", as they ramped up preparations for the Pakistan Test series."

I can't wait to see if the Oz batting line-up can cope with a 16-year-old.
But if there's a batting collapse, we should request medical proof of age, not for eligibility purposes but for pride purposes. |

He carried his bat through a 50-over game yesterday and guided Queensland to victory, with wickets tumbling all around (in both innings). I'm not confident that any of the alternative openers (Warner aside) is capable of batting anywhere near that long against a competent attack. |

Obviously there are no good openers on the entire continent.
If Smith is so good, they should just play him as an opener. Make him take one for the team instead of hiding down the order. |

Maybe they should. If he carried his bat 5 times consecutively, perhaps you’d stop pretending he isn’t the best-performed batsman of the last 70 years. |

Grade 1 flat-track bully.
At least the openers may have to face 5 overs of swing before the ball is dead like the pitch. |
