I like Labuschagne, he has the potential to be a consistent batman who bowls handy leg spin.
I picked Burns because his form is better than Renshaw's.
With Hazlewood and Marsh out they have named Pat Cummins (which I'm ok with) and Travis Head as Vice Captains
1. Why do we need 2 Vice Captains ??
2. Why would you name guys in that position who can't even cement their spots (Marsh and Head) ??
3. Why is Nathan Lyon not Vice Captain ??
4. Why are Hohns and Chappell still employed ??

Richardson was very impressive, swinging the ball at pace. He looks an excellent prospect for the Ashes as English conditions and the Duke ball will suit him.
The huge thing is Lefty he would not have got a start with Hazelwood fit. The bowler I was a little disappointed with was Cummins. Their 9 - 10 and 11 batsmen are all No. 11's and Pat bowled far too much short stuff at them. ****wella rattled him pulling and hooking short stuff to make his 64.
Marnus Labsuchagne looked very good and seemed set for a 100 - the glorious uncertainty of cricket. He should be able to kick on from here and cement his place in the team.
A bit disappointing, had hoped they would go on to a big score, 400, but just seem to get out. Bit sorry for Patterson left on own due to Nightwatchman and two quick wickets, lacked tail sticking around.
