Yep, agreed. I think it is immensely beneficial to have a capable bowler in the top 6 to provide that variety. I don't think it's as simple as saying "pick the best six batsmen".

An all rounder would be a nice addition to the squad.
On the rare occasion Smith does bowl these days, he doesn't threaten anyone. He bowls a lot of long-hops and full tosses. Perhaps his bowling has fallen away since he began to focus on his batting, but in my opinion he doesn't provide anything with the ball these days.Smith can bowl. Head in at 6 and he can spin too.
Nevill in for Wade. Wade euthanised.
I'd have Cummins in. He's wasted in BBL. Give him a fresh taste of tests, at home.
Before Yasir went for 1/100 (after being 1/0 too), I'd have probably dropped Lyon also.
Australia doesn't have a capable all rounder. Just need a couple of bats who bowl a bit. And when Hogg says Cartwright isn't even the best all-rounder in WA, you kind of have to chuckle.
I will find you, and I will delete your ozcard account!!!On the rare occasion Smith does bowl these days, he doesn't threaten anyone. He bowls a lot of long-hops and full tosses.

(Apologies in advance for this, @Keatoboy!) I also don't see why anyone rates Head's bowling. I can't see him being at all successful as a spinner in Test cricket. Just doesn't look threatening at all every time I've seen him bowl, and his stats aren't great either.
I don't think a couple of batsmen who bowl a bit is good enough. What's the point of having them get through a few overs an innings without looking like taking a wicket. Personally, I'd pick someone in the top 6 who is a competent bowler.
As for the wickie, I'm really hoping Whiteman can have a run of good form. At the moment though, Wade doesn't look up for it. In India at least I'd bring back Nevill.
His partner is a fair batsman as wellChris Lynn = Freak!
Great game to watch while being paid handsomely!!!!!
