Yeah great point.

Amidst a slew of players who can’t even average 40 in first class cricket, the bloke who has managed to do it over a seven year first class career shouldn’t have been given a chance.
Not to mention a better FC average than anyone in the squad other than Khawaja.

Who is more deserving again, G Mus?

Warner burnt many of his bridges on the way out and he would be hard to re-integrate, but the one thing he could do is score at home.

Much as I would prefer not to, we may have to let him back in the side.



Yep, Finch could do a job opening in the UAE, but here his technique was always doubtful.
Greg Chappell made a pond of ducks one season so the greats can do it also,hopefully Finch turns it around,great fielder.

6363 runs.
21 centuries
48.2 average

Barely a passable test batsman ? There are lots of idiotic comments made on Big Footy. You are in the running for the most idiotic ever.
In fairness to Warner he had also established himself long before Smith became the key wicket, I think he could have done fine this summer with Smith out.

Why do people have an issue with pant?

He is doing his job if the tv people don't like it turn down the stump mic.
Most keepers chirp away behind the stumps, it's almost like a prerequisite for being a keeper these days.

One of the reasons Wade was picked over Nevill was that he was more chirpy.

Why isn't he selected then?

Especially covering he is a gun outfielder and can roll the arm over, yet they still look towards the slim chances a Head or Laubushagne or MMarsh comes on enough to be passable

Because he needs to "train smarter" apparently.

Are you going to suggest the Australian selectors are known to be good judges of quality and character?
