Tend to agree.
For me MMarsh & Finch don't play next test match. Burns & Maxwell come in.
Also, how is it that one of our premier fast bowlers has one of the most solid batting defences?? Speaks volumes really.

Maxwell just doesn’t seem to fit a model they want.I’d have had Maxwell back in long before now, suspect it’s not on-field actions that appear to have him somewhat hamstrung with ‘those that count’.
Burns....yeah, seen him a few times now as well.
We just don’t have that much batting talent (cheats aside).
Zzzz.
Maxwell just doesn’t seem to fit a model they want.
Yeah, that was my point.
But he seems more likely to get some runs than some of the others that are either there already, or somehow next in line ahead of him.
Scoring runs, of course, should never be the main driver. Fitting in to the 'culture' of the main guys is much more important.
Oh. hang on...the 'culture'.....that's what we're trying to fix.
Hard to keep up.
While booing him is crass, I think it's more a reflection of the public showing disdain at a selection which (again) wasn't warranted or based on any sort of form.Marsh bashing seems the in thing, and even booing when in a baggy green.
the twitterverse we live i I guess.
I think M Marsh can still be a good #6.
S Waugh took a long time to fill his skin at Test level.
That's great.Not a fan of mob mentality.
lol, there's blokes batting ahead of him peforming worse.
Well maybe not a hundred, but there's certainly a few.Theres a hundred better options.
Well maybe not a hundred, but there's certainly a few.
There's one who leaps off the page, but he's not the golden boy for whatever resson.Certainly.
A few.
With runs on the board.
Undeniable.
With multiple centuries in the last Ashes series even.
Oh, that doesn't count.
Oops.
There's one who leaps off the page, but he's not the golden boy for whatever resson.
Then, the others can't get actually get a go, because there's a player who has the worst ever average for a recognised batsmen who keeps getting a run.
He batted well in a few innings of the Ashes, kudos and well done. Then he goes back and turns in his usual returns producing a paultry total of 206 runs @ 17 from his next 6 tests (not including another first innings failure here). On the back if those abject failures, he does nothing in shield with 1 decent innings from 4 matches, yet get's another go.
If 26 after 30 tests is the new yard stick for our #6, we're in even more of a mess then I thought.
Ah yeah, that was why I clicked Agree on your post About Maxwell that is, not Marsh.Yeah, that was my point.

Yes, has batted well for 2 Ashes tons. Runs on the board. Forgotten by the online mob mentality. Lord of the Flies, frenzy, lol.
Can’t be in much more of a mess....not sure what you’ve been watching.
Still not sure what your solutions are.....who is your failsafe #6, the messiah. I’m sure you have a list? Maybe they can go 3,4,5 as well.
We need help!!
