do you have a minimum number of matches as cutoff for Test selection? in comparison, many other teams are including a few South African crickets, although they only played 4 tests.

 

[Hamingja]

Goes to show how dead ODI is from a regular Australian cricket fans POV. I reckon I would struggle to pick 5 of them out of a line up.

No room for Roston Chase as your all rounder?

No. I considered Harmer as the spinner though instead of Stokes

I mean Jadeja averaged 63 with the bat as an all rounder. Hard to leave that out.

I was being facetious.
Chase averaged about 10 with the bat and 60 with the ball at a guess.
