Was some article I browsed not sure the source. Mind you it also said Finch could soon push in so make what you will.
It was written by 'The Governor'?

Funny thing is thou it actually was. Just made one mistake/misjudgement and that was it, then a couple of good ones in Adelaide. Still played test cricket for Australia and that is nothing to sneeze at.

Not bad long term but I like the Qld leggie Cameron Boyce. I realise that he does not have a great track record at this stage but he has looked as if he can turn the ball. In a limited over game last year I saw him bowl a delivery akin to Warnie's 'ball of the century'. I hope a quality coach gets hold of him and works on his variety.
Travis Head has more going for him than Callum Ferguson. Head has only just come on the scene and has not made a first class ton yet but he has 3 or 4 nineties and you get the feeling that once he gets the first one there will be many more to follow. Ferguson on the other hand has ability but is not consistent enough. Callum just does enough to make you think he might be a Test player without ever making you sure of it.
Jordan Silk is an excellent prospect and a good player to watch. Not sure how much he has done this year but like Travis Head he has time on his side.

Couldn't agree more. I want the best player picked for Australia, and I don't care if they're from VIC or from Queensland.

IMO its that reason why Vics are so parochial. Australia were the Greatest side ever and they were offended that Shane Warne was the only representitive....

I think this is what will happen, Burns will play at 3 and Watson will bat at 6.
Do you understand anything about cricket?

His experience and status as Vice Captain is clearly the reason Had's is still in the team.

One of the most valuable knocks I ever played in my 25 odd years of cricket was a 9.

Some people just don't "get it" though buddy
as a batsman
Great so the good Marsh has to come out while the hopeless one as well as Watson and our keeper who's about as useful with the bat as Glenn McGrath stay.
Seriously I hope India hold their nerve a bit better in Melbourne and give us the embarrassing spanking our stupid selections deserve.
BTW anyone proposing Faulkner for anything test cricket related is absolutely kidding themselves.

Obviously I understand better then you that the amount of catches a keeper takes are about as important as **** on a bull

You don't want Watson, Marsh or Haddin. Which three guys should be there instead?
Bearing in mind the injuries to Clarke and Mitch Marsh, are the above selections really so unreasonable?
Are you really suggesting that we take a team that has just won two Tests and make 4-5 changes?
IN: Harris, Burns, and three others
OUT: Starc, M. Marsh, Watson, S. Marsh, Haddin
That would be a pretty serious overhaul for a winning team. Is that what you're advocating?
If so, you must have three pretty deserving players in mind to fill those vacant spots in the top seven.

I am very critical of the construction and selection of the Vic squad, too many but part all rounders, very few specialists, anyone complaining about the lack of Vics in contention needs to avail themselves of these facts. Our best potential test bat is forced to keep sometimes!
Victoria design their squad to win domestic competitions, not to develop test players.

White has played 3 games - didn't bat in one due to its abortment and was playing ODI cricket during the others - his figures aren't terrible. He's still around the mark. I suggest to all of you that selectors have some influential people who they talk to and discuss opinions on. I would further suggest that Rod Marsh talks to and seeks some input from I.M.Chappell and while this happens Ed Cowan is going to struggle to get a look in.
Along those lines, Quiney is flat out getting a game for Victoria and Voges boat probably sailed unless Clarke doesn't go to England.
