Besides Warner, Smith and Starc how many of our current Test squad and those budding for Test match selection are truly world class cricketers? We can barely justify bringing someone up from Shield level. We all have an opinion in here but we can't agree on who is next in, all we can agree on is that it needs to be someone new, young, with a future.
We might be over complicating things with the way we go about the summer, then again we might just have such a dearth of talent at this point that it wouldn't matter how we went about programming the summer.
Maybe the talent isn't there because the pathway is getting more demanding?
Also we are doing nothing to develop "test cricketers" at a younger age - everything is built around the limited overs formats - from Milo T20 blast, right through to national championships... it's no more batting time, or bowling lengthy spells, it's get in as a bowler and limit damage, and get in as a batsman and inflict as much damage as quickly as possible.

In terms of 1st class runs and 1st class batting average you're picking Patterson, Hanscombe, Bancroft, Maddinson, and Maxwell before him. Having played less cricket based on average you're picking Stonis and Lehman (15 run better average and the same amount tons having played a third of the amount of games) before him too.
I know stats don't tell the full story and he is still a bloody good young cricketer but not sure Head would make my 2nd test side.
