Big summer ahead. More cricket than even I can manage to watch and it seems not all pundits are happy. Scheduling a T20 international in Adelaide one day before a test starts in India - fuck it, why not? Seriously?
And the sooner things get underway the sooner Clarke can go screw himself and get out of the papers everyday.
So the first test. Only genuine headache I see for Aus is the Burns/Marsh question. Burns on form with a ton in the Shield should help but Marsh with a 73. Considering the quicks have been rested (and rested and rested) recently I would be tempted to play both and relegate the younger Marsh to 12th man duties.

Khwaja
Marsh
Smith
Voges
