It's like choosing which testicle to cut off.

Great...
Not saying it made it worse, but if it's an injury keeping him out for this long, you've seriously got to question sending him out to bat ahead of Lyon and Haze.

Behrendorff will be a real chance of getting a go if Starc is out that long

No, it made sense. Get Starc to have a swing. You had the other 2 batsmen to come in to run quick single if need be next over. Was just unlucky he hit it straight to the fielder.

Who knows why he isn't in the side now...and we are now hoping Pattinson stays fit.
Delaying surgery to go to the world T20...well he is a gun limited overs bowler so I guess I'll let that slide...

So what's the Adam Voges benchmark for bowlers in the Shield? 70, 80 wickets in a season?
It's funny to thank back to the days when we WA folk were dark on our guys not getting a fair go. Now we have 4 players in the test squad, 3 of whom really didn't earn their chance to be there.

It'd be closer to 50 wickets.

Two guns there. Would love to see Sayers play test cricket eventually, but can't see it happening.

Coulter Nile and Boland. What a joke.
Must be a few bowlers in the Shield who are absolutely filthy tonight.

i can understand the reasoning behind wanting a proper quick bowler for West Indies. The wickets are going to be disgustingly flat. Haze hardly covered himself with glory in the first two tests v NZ and Sids isn't a flat wicket bowler these days.
I just would have thought that its unlikely that NCN is bowling that fast yet. He's hardly MJ in his pomp when it comes to the speed gun at the best of times.

Name them, there really aren't that many bowlers who stand out.
Jackson Bird.
Birdy swings it at least.

Ludicrous decision to pick Coulter-Nile. He has not played a first class game this season, coming back from a suspension. Totally underdone.
I would going with Hazlewood, Siddle, M Marsh and Boland.
The first 3 did their job in the last test and Boland just ripped through admittedly an inexperienced WA side at the WACA. With not one single bowler standing out from the contenders, go with the one in the very best form. Would be happy if Bird was the choice instead of Boland, but I would have thought it was between those 2. C-N was not even in my thinking and I am a WA supporter.

Coulter-Nile was my first thought because McDermott went right out and mentioned Coulter-Nile, Stanlake and Paris
Having seen him a bit in BBL and ODI - where admittedly the wickets aren't helpful - but I don't see what he has that will get Test batsmen out regularly. Is there something I am not seeing? Looks a muscle bowler through and through.
