If Warner is ready who gets dropped?

Does Cameron Green play? Is Head under pressure? Burns finding some form, so he should stay as an opener.

I'd say Head is in trouble. I think the selectors will want to keep Green in, as his ability to bowl 10 to 15 overs really kept our strike bowlers fresh.

Warner and Pucovski are unlikely to be available and Burns cleared of any injury to his arm so it's more likely we will be unchanged for the 2nd test

Warner ruled out

I think they would like to get Puck into the team so the concussion is a real blow.....literally.

I agree that the team will most likely be unchanged. I also think Head really needs to nail down his spot this Summer. He has a couple of young guns breathing down his neck and Wade is hanging around as well and will be for another couple of years.

It's a massive opportunity for Head. The side needs another genuinely locked in bat in the middle order, he literally can't have asked for better circumstances and if he's any good he'll make the most of it.

Need to get through the first hour and build from there

Burns duck. Get rid of him, not good enough

He's got the coaches backing, it's unlikely he will be dropped this summer unless Wade makes the most of his chances

Re: Second Test Australia v India - December 26-30 2020, MCG

Burns really went fishing for the ball that got him out. The bat was a far way from the pads and he really didn't need to play at it

Re: Second Test Australia v India - December 26-30 2020, MCG

Wade and Smith go in quick time and we are 3 down. We need a big partnership now

Wades dismissal was from a stupid shot but the catch was quite good given two players were vying for it

Will be all out before end of play

I was thinking it mightn't be a bad thing for Starc and Cummins to get some quick runs and hit out, so we can have a crack at India tonight.........but not immediately!
