Sydney is a low slow dead wicket, has been for a numbr of years.
Not saying a 5th bowler isn't handy, but more just not taking much out of that Sydney result.
Thinking India will be hot and probably favour the batsmen so it will be long periods of bowling. Our batting has been quite strong and playing Renshaw in Sydney was the wrong choice
Five batsmen, Carey, five bowlers most of which can bat a bit is my preference
I get what you mean with the 5 bats, 5 bowlers & a keeper who bats well, and plays spin well.
Head not proven against the turning ball, great at home, struggles away. I hope he has a break out tour. Would be first trip to India for Marnus too I think. Six bats for me (or include Green as the allrounder). I think 5 bats is 1 short, at least for the 1st test. 2 spinners in for us, is a certainty I'd say.
