Its a tough call, and one I'm glad I am not having to make!
I'd rather have Foakes behind the stumps for Aus, we are not going to get many chances and one drop off Smith for example could swing a match.
Where do you then put Jonny though without wasting him.
Not that there is any guarantee he'll be back in that pre-injury purple patch, whereas we know Foakes is in form.
I'm hoping they are using Ireland to get a feel for where Jonny is in his recovery.
