Personally I wouldn't burden Handscomb with the keeping just yet. Give him some more time to focus on his batting at Test level.
On another note, what great hitting from Lynn and McCullum at the WACA tonight. When those two are on the Heat are just about impossible to beat.

Credit to a much maligned Heat bowling attack with out their best bowler Badree.
The two c & b by Buchannan & Steketee were fantastic

The Heat's and the Scorchers' catching were poles apart!

Handsomb keeping was a bit meh if you ask me.
Im far from a Wade fan, he might find his true calling and bowl his medium pacers again
Noting he is putting them through quicker then Siddle was earlier in the summer

I'm not a Wade fan, but that was an awesome ton.
As for Chris Lynn...flmao. I don't feel so bad getting out on a Saturday arvo watching that shot.

Steve Smiths slash with his first ball wasn't much better. But totally with you on Wade, the guy just seems like a cocky little prick, but a great knock by him.

Lynn's dismissal highlights the detriment of T20 cricket. No discretion or checking shots if you get beaten in pace, hit or get out.
How comfortable did big Billy look with the willow?
A true old school number 11!!!

Credit to Head for giving the support up top and Maxwell for pulling his head in for a while and getting set
Wade was great today glad he got to the ton

Alright, time to put on your selector's cap again. The 15-man squad for the India series is being named tomorrow. Who gets in?
This is the squad I think they'll take:
Batsmen
David Warner
Matt Renshaw
Usman Khawaja
Steve Smith
Peter Handscomb
Shaun Marsh
All-Rounders
Mitchell Marsh
Glenn Maxwell
Ashton Agar
Wicketkeeper
Matthew Wade
Fast bowlers
Mitchell Starc
Josh Hazlewood
Jackson Bird
Spinners
Nathan Lyon
Steve O'Keefe
I'd be fairly happy with that squad, although Mitch Marsh would be perhaps a little lucky. Who do you guys think will be picked?

Agar out and Faulkner in and think we are close enough

Definitely possible, but I think they'll go with an extra spin option.

Head or Faulkner for Mitch Marsh and I like the look of that squad.
Chatting to Nathan Lyon at the Gabba recently and asked him about this tour. He said the Aussies subcontinent woes are psychologically based as the players, particularly the batsmen fear getting out and don't play their natural game.
