warner and rogers both average more than 40 (just) and steve smith i think we can all agree is rapidly heading there after a slowish start.

warner would probably make the world team opening the batting on form at the moment.

rogers finished third in test player of the year and scored the most runs out of anyone across the 10 ashes tests.

agree with the rest of your assessment though. I think that happens regularly when a team goes downhill, they clutch at straws trying to recapture their success. england are doing the same thing. if they were winning joe root would have been in the side the whole time no questions.

i do think people like white and hughes deserve another crack at it though, they are some of the few that are consistently averaging 45+ at shield level (well white in the last few years)

I'm pro-West Aussie when it comes to cricket but Rod Rooster is spot on about Shaun Marsh. He's massively overrated.
He got an armchair ride into Test cricket on modest Shield form and barely measured up. In 2011/12 against India he was disappointing. Nicked them to slip way too often in a similar vein to Phil Hughes.

His old man, Geoff had a fairly ordinary Test career (better in ODI's though) but at least he made plenty of runs for WA, thereby justifying his selection for Australia.

Good chance Marsh will get hurt before games even start. Most likely in a pub/nightclub incident.

His fitness is still better and more reliable than his batting though.

fair chance they wont even take another batsman if marsh doesnt recover in time, given henriques is going over there. he would be a decent option to come in at 6 if need be
