5th Test Australia vs England @ SCG 3rd - 7th January 2014

You just named Marsh and Maddinson as chances, they are downhill skiiers too.

I'm not disagreeing with you - only giving you the benefit of what I "used" to get told in terms of names that came up in discussions with those in the know . Jordan Silk is also on the radar. Marcus North was not mentioned - despite his form. I have been big on the fact that Maddinson only has one speed and in my view he's nowhere near ready, but it's a bit like old mother hubbard and if you rule a line through Phil Hughes - for a period (which they seem to have done) then you either start recycling or look to the next generation.

He got dumped because they didn't want to dump Ponting.

Let's face it - they were never going to do that - the old adage - "you don't piss on monuments".

Of course they weren't. But the cost of that was dropping a guy in better form than him, and seemingly consigning him to the scrap-heap.

Has Maddinson done anything of late? Surely not getting a look in for the South Africa tour.

No centuries this shield season.

 

[Dan Cooper]

How would we know? we are in a Shield free zone ..

Precisely, and all the more reason why Watson will remain at #3.

 

[MinerBoy]

So to be fair the selectors aren't doing much wrong in regards to the batsmen? The 6 who just played are close enough to as good as there is for right now. Rogers has proven to be a good move and the reasoning behind Bailey was at least sound, despite the fact that he didn't prove to be good enough.

How we long for the days when there were a number of shield cricketers averaging 50+ who couldn't even get a look in and yet plundered the runs season after season.

 

[Mateyman]

Great decision.
98 to go.

Before Agar's innings (not referring to it but our deficit, still funny!

 

[Hodgepodge]

Warner has an interesting relationship with his girlfriend. . was MMA sparring and wrestling with her on the ground after the game. Not being critical, it's a refreshing contrast to all the pristine plastic women that make up the majority of the WAGs.

By the selection committee or the chick?

She certainly isn't pristine

Seriously, the things that find its way into the media never ceases to astound me. So Monty was after a daffy duck .... good luck to him.

 

[Mrwce]

Oh boy that was sweet! After the losses we suffered here in Australia and in England it was just great to see us win 5-0.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

He needs to bat at 6. We need to find a #3.

First things first. Find a No.3 and THEN bat him at 6. Not before.
