I would have thought that another WA player would be chosen. They seem to get a walk up start for international selection (and have for forty years), despite the myth they have a much easier run to selection than NSW.
Justin Langer managed to talk both Renshaw and Handscombe out of the test team. He seems to be the kingmaker in Australian cricket.
Personally on form I would go for Joe Burns. He has some experience and is currently in rare form. They cannot retain Bancroft, looks way out of his depth in this field at the moment.
RIG are you suggesting Michael Klinger by some chance
He is one WA player that I would like to see have a go, but alas he moved there too late. I did hear Justin Langer refer to him as a champion.
I can hardly think of a NSW player who hasn't earned his test cap whereas I can think of more than a team full of WA players who have been lucky to be selected or in the case of Shaun Marsh reinstated 9 times. Of course eventually he will make some runs.
