Tbh I disagree that we need a Flintoff type all rounder. We need a solid fourth seamer to backup whichever 3 fast bowlers we pick.
We need Green’s Sheffield Shield form to translate to test cricket. As has been evident for a while we are pretty flimsy in the batting department.
I mean, Flintoff was essentially a top class fourth seamer (Freddie, Harmison, Hoggard and Simon Jones - all too short lived as a bowling group) but also a quality middle order bat. I don't see how Green doing that doesn't balance the Aussie side nicely?
You need to find another two decent openers as Warner is on the way out and Harris isn't it. Pucovski looks a good option if he could stop getting hit in the head. Don't know who else is coming through who looks promising.
Middle order - Labuschagne will be quality for years, Head looks like he's establishing himself, Khawaja is very experienced backup. Smith a bit of a worry, not looking himself but everyone knows how good he is. Green at 6 and bring in a better keeper than Carey, Inglis seems to be popular with more avid watchers of Shield cricket?
