There is definitely a few spots that need to be filled by retiring/out of form older players, and not just with other older players, I think we need to really look at bringing in younger players, not too young, maybe 23-25. India have shown that you can have success with a young team, so there is no reason why we cannot do the same. I'm not saying get rid of everyone over 30 or so, but for example when Hayden retires, get a younger player who we can really develop into an opener for the next 10 years.

We really need to find a spinner though, we've gone from having 2 great spinners in Warne and MacGill, to nothing, apart from an in form spinner who is 37 in McGain, who could only play for 1-2 years at most you would suggest, if he is even given another chance after his surgery.

I'd like to see Marsh given a go as opener, to be honest I haven't seen him much in domestic 4 day competition, but from what I have seen in ODI and 2020 he seems very solid, and a powerful hitter, similar to Hayden.

This test is really India's to lose, and by lose I mean result in a draw. With how we performed in the first innings, I can't see us going for a win no matter what target we are left with, considering India already have 300 over us with 10 wickets. India should bat till around lunch, putting on as much as possible, they have enough aggressive, fast scoring batsmen in Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dhoni as well as Ghambir and Sehwag who are at the crease to put on 150-200 more easily. Then hope that they have enough time to bowl us out.
