It's a disgrace that O'Keefe has never played a test for Australia when the likes of Beer, McGain and Krezja (not sure on spelling) were all given a go.
I'm tired of the couch experts on here telling me he just wouldn't get wickets. I remember when Warner would never be a test batsman, too.
He's been treated appallingly and we're wasting a very talented spinner every time he's playing a state match.
I agree that he should be very close to if not in the squad at the moment, but not really sure why you're comparing to the other spinners? McGain and Krejza played their last tests six years ago. McGain came into the side on the back of a couple of very good years in the shield too IIRC - there's generally a lot of revisionism with peoples opinion of him on here because of how terrible his only test was. If O'Keefe had been blessed with the opportunities and support Lyon has been given, I think he'd do a very similar job but with the added capability of being a good batsman.
