Equation is pretty simple for me, Smith & Marnus and the best 2 Test batsmen at the moment, with Kohli a close 3rd. But Kohli is MUCH better in ODI's & T20I's.
Neser is a better batsman than Paine. Paine could realistically bat 9 if 2 of Neser/Pattinson/Cummins played.Bat Paine/Inglis at 6 and Neser at 7 for tests?

Incredibly, Ashton Agar has replicated this.
It's not really needed when you have Lyon+Starc/Cummins/Hwood. Pattinson/Neser would also walk into all other test sides first side, and they can't get a crack.I absolutely agree but as a bowling all rounder, he could be the Holder of the Aussie team who bats 7/8 and chips in bonus runs. Plus, it is good to give bowlers a longer break after bowling where possible.
Khawaja and Renshaw decisions were very questionable. Renshaw looked good.Seems they got a couple of decisions against them too
