Head, Pain and Loose Bus Change haven't exactly been tearing it up either to be fair.

Paine made an unbeaten 60 to salvage a draw in the last game and is averaging over 40 in Tests, I think you can let him off to be fair

I'll give him the match-saving innings, still only averaging 23 for the series though.

At the end of the day your first class record is a barometer of abilities. Mitch Marsh, Head and Labushchagne average in the 30s. Whilst players with superior records Maxwell, Handscombe and Burns don't get selected. Renshaw carrying drinks is ridiculous

Isn't he averaging 35.5 (thanks mainly to his red inker)

I haven't looked into it in great detail but I imagine that would put him fairly close to the top of the Australian averages?

Indeed he is, too early for me :

Loose bus change - I know they've lost a couple of players, but how on earth does a first class career average of 33 with a grand total of 4 tons get you picked as a batsman for Australia..?

Most worrying for the Aussies - they lost 5 wickets to a pace bowler. Their bowlers won't be happy with that!

Pak well on top and doing the right thing attacking

mohammad abbas is something special.. still early days, but his stats are unbelievable so far. averages 16 with the ball. has already taken 54 wickets, and this is just his tenth game (with one innings to go)

I didn't mention England?! But since you asked... the only batsman in the current test squad who doesn't have a considerably better first class record than that is Jos Buttler, who has a higher test average and in any case at least got himself into the test side as a batsman by proving his international class in white ball cricket. Given that our batting has been pretty poor lately I think that only backs the question up!

You have to be considered as future investment  ;)

Edit: I am just waiting for the Marsh brothers to score heavily in the 2nd innings, which will get them 4 to 6 more tests and the cycle will start over.

Two! :D

37+ seems to be the top bracket in the county champs these days, drop in quality of batsman or result of playing most of the games at silly times of the season? One for another thread perhaps.
