Davey has retired with a test average lower than Mark Richardson. (44.59 vs 44.77).
That makes me happy.

If ever I need convincing that statistics don’t alway tell the full story I think this is it.
Disclaimer: I actually really like Rigor as a broadcaster and admired him hugely as a test batsman.

I'm sure Mark would trade 0.18 per innings for a lousy 6000 or so runs extra ...

Warner would be a shit host of the Block NZ though

So Steve Smith suggested he could be the opener. Thoughts?
Since that Archer spell everyone bowls short at Smith when he comes in. That would likely stop.. or the opposition might waste the new ball

Not going to happen imo,he is not technically set up as an opener.
His hands are too loose any movement early and he is a snick for the slips.I can not see Australia moving him from the no.4 spot.

@Duluth said in Aussie Summer of Cricket:
@Chris Who do you think they will pick?
It should be Marcus Harris or Cameron Bancroft, but Bancroft is still tainted by sand paper gate but there are some who hid in the background and should have stood up in that saga.
If they don't bring in a new opener and promote with in which they might, as they are keen to get Cameron Green back in the X1 then my pick would be Travis Head promoted or a smokey could be Marnus who judges line and length well. -

But they're quite happy to laud one of the ringleaders.

Yeah sickening the way Bancroft has been treated he has dominated Sheffield shield over the last few years,there are a couple of others who should have gotten outed but didn't, the bowling unit knew exactly what was going on.

Bancroft averaging 56.88 this year, much better than Harris (31.33) and Renshaw (31.63). They've all played 5 or 6 matches

Or a host of anything. No dialogue coach would take him on.
Between him being rumoured to get a media gig post-cricket, and the almost complete revision of his part in sandpapergate to redemption story, you've got to wonder what dirt he's got on who.

He is just a good old larrikin and a family man at heart.

i do not understand the clamour to get Green back in the side. Right now they have Mitch Marsh doing the role, only better than Cam ever has. And i do not see why you would pick both.
Sometimes i think selectors just continually pick blokes just to prove they were right initially

It took about ten years but MM finally became a very good test player. He obviously took all the constructive criticism from @NTA on board.

Yep Bancroft has been the outstanding opener in SS for the last few years,But he is not in favour with the selectors he really does deserve the chance imo.
