Stan Darsh, sub continent specialist.

Looking at the scores back in the Shield, no one has put their hand up to replace him.

What is a par score on this pitch?

Outfield is lightning, so I reckon we need 350 minimum batting first

Khawaja.

I would have him in before Marsh too but like everyone not confident about his ability against a turning ball

[The Bedge]

Every time i see Renshaw do alright I cant help but shake my head that CA considered leaving him out for Marsh to open this series.. he's shown what in form batsmen can do - regardless of left hand or right hand, which is why Khawaja should be playing as well!

Problem with Khawaja was he had a bad reputation against spin and then got out horribly to spin in the tour match for nothing

Yeah 93 runs in 5 innings. Why did they even bother taking Khawaja if they were never going to play him regardless of other batsmen's form?

100% agree rocketeer. Don't take him on tour, may as well have taken Head or a kid for the experience if they had no intention of playing him.

[Grenville]

Handscomb plumb lbw after another start. Jughead into bat.

[Grenville]

If Smudger doesn't score 150 we're screwed.

[stampy]

when is handscomb going to go on and make a decent score ffs

[amber_fluid]

Lets see how good Maxwell is.......

[Grenville]

If he can't get runs on this pitch he never will at Test level.

[whufc]

I'm hoping Maxwell turns in to a Andrew Symons type story.

[Grenville]

Matthew Hayden is obviously auditioning for a spot on Ch9's commentary team. An absolute stream of shit.
