There's no way Chris Lynn isn't in the Test team if he plays red ball cricket

Robert 'Crash' Craddock believes that T20 master blaster Chris Lynn would walk into the Test team if he really wanted to. The bans on Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft due to the ball-tampering saga have opened up three different batting spots in the Australian line-up. Matthew Renshaw, Joe Burns and Glenn Maxwell flew over to replaced the disgraced trio of Aussie players, but only the two Queensland openers and back-up batsman Peter Handscomb were brought into the final eleven for the fourth and final Test against South Africa. Lynn is struggling with shoulder injuries currently and has always prioritised white ball cricket instead of the longer forms of the game. But, if he put his mind to it, could the master blaster adapt to the Test format? Crash thinks so."If Chris Lynn rang up Cricket Australia today and said I?ve decided I?m back playing red ball cricket, there?s no way he wouldn?t be in that first Test team," Craddock told SEN's Whateley."It is happening under our nose ? Chris Lynn is that sort of player."Sure he has a dodgy shoulder which struggles in the four-day game. I?m most interested this season because with these three players banned, there is a cast iron place for Chris Lynn if he wants it."It?s a provocative thought, because if he did want to play then next season he would. Literally, it would be a couple of innings and I think he would be straight in." In 41 first-class matches for the Bulls, Lynn has an average of over 43 and has hit six centuries.
