SCG holds out. Thank the cricketing gods
Sydney test I'd go:
Warner
Pukovski
Labus
Smith
Wade
Green
Paine
Bowlers
I think it was Warne or some other pundit who said that throwing Pukovski in the lion's den so soon after another head injury and his history would be foolish. Have to say I agree. For me, either Warner or Harris for Burns.

Does the Sydney test not start till the 7th these days? Used to be on the 2nd and gets shifted back with time. Might as well rename it from New Years test to the Mid-January Test
If only CA moved the 3rd test to a Covid free place first..
Or, if India needs a break from the bubble, they could just play 2 tests in Brisbane.

They actually have a chance to win the series. Why risk it by playing at the GABBA?
Gladys would be fapping hard over that development
Kane Williamson is special.
Really just needs a match-winning innings in a big test match to cement his legacy as one of the best players to have played the game.

Great effort but not completely sold until he does.
I do wonder how we would go against NZ in NZ. I know we thrashed them here, mainly due to our bowlers, but their home record is something else. Haven't lost to an Asian team in NZ since 2011 and haven't lost in 17 matches.

Sydney and Rain. Name a more iconic pair in the Aussie summer
