Sri Lanka have a worse attack than many of the Shield sides, probably all of them when you factor in home decks.

So because he has a history of injury that's it, he's never going to get another opportunity? By your own admission he's played more games than Siddle this season, if we aren't going to give him a chance when he's fit, he may as well give up any aspirations of playing for Aus again.

Siddle was with the Test side the last round of Shield games.
He's four games back from a 15 month lay off- I don't think not risking him in a Test is unreasonable. Not too many players I would rush back after 15 months of no SS cricket.
Nine wickets hardly screams rush me back. If he had 35 you'd be thinking maybe but he's not needed we aren't in desperate need of another quick bowler. He needs full shield seasons and 50 wickets.

I don't disagree in some ways, it'd be nice if he had a full year of a clean bill of health under his belt. I still think it's worth the risk, much like Pucovski is. Not to mention he averages 27 with the willow for Australia on a pretty big sample size, that's almost enough to get you picked at first drop in 2019.

Pattinson's test batting average is as good as the current number 3's FC season batting average, says it all really.

Pucovski 8 games, 588 runs, two hundreds and one 50.
Slater- 16 games, 1520 runs, 4 100's and 11 50's.
Hughes- 18 games, 1648 runs, 5 100's and 10 50's.
Bradman- 9 games, 989 runs, 4 100's and 3 50's.
Harvey- 11 games, 705 runs, 1 100 and 4 50's.
S. Waugh- 11 games, 605 runs, 2 100's and 2 50's.
Langer- 14 games, 1121 runs, 3 100's and 5 50's.
He's probably pretty close to Waugh in stats before his Test debut.

No idea how Laboostjuice is ahead of Patterson. I can't understand how Head and Finch are ahead of Patterson either. Patterson and Pucovski are looking sublime out there.
I don't care about age, Pucovski is clearly classy, throw him in, he's a gun. His batting technique and temperament are fantastic. Reminds a lot of a Clarke-Williamson hybrid.

Maybe he'll force his way in to the 2nd test squad.

157* for Patto and 102* for Doran to end the innings. Fair digs.
