Former captains Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting want out-of-form opener Aaron Finch to be dropped from AustraliaтАЩs playing eleven for the fourth and final Test against India starting Thursday in Sydney.
-
Both Waugh and Ponting have predicted the inclusion of leg-spinning all-rounder Marnus Labuschange in the playing eleven.
-
Test legend Waugh posted his preferred Australia XI for the final Test at the SCG on Instagram.
-
According to Waugh, Marcus Harris and veteran Shaun Marsh should open the batting, followed by incumbent Usman Khawaja.
-
Waugh feels Travis Head, AustraliaтАЩs leading run-scorer in the series against India, should bat at No.4 ahead of captain Tim Paine, Labuschagne, and Mitchell Marsh.
-
WaughтАЩs preferred bowling unit would be Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood.
-
WaughтАЩs successor, Ponting too feels that Finch should be dropped and Labuschagne needs to be included in the playing eleven.
-
Finch has had a dismal series so far, averaging just 16 while opening the batting with 50 of his runs coming in the first innings of the second Test in Perth.
тАЬIтАЩve seen Labuschagne has come into the line-up so to me straight away that means Finch has to miss out and Usman will open the batting, IтАЩd imagine,тАЭ Ponting told

тАЬThatтАЩs how it looks Labuschagne probably bats four, Head five and Mitch Marsh six I think thatтАЩs the way theyтАЩre going to line up.
тАЬI canтАЩt really think what else they can do. The selectors and the captain and coach have obviously had a long chat about what they want and what they expect. WeтАЩll see how they line up
