Australia v India 2nd ODI at the SCG

[danielnajdek]

So Langer has a chance to blood a young bloke but goes with an old guy whose never quite made it.

And he's probably gonna do the same thing come the first test.

Sigh.

Don't worry mate we'll eventually play them when they're 35.

Form should be the No. 1 criteria for selection, not past deeds.

And Puc has it. Burns doesn't.

This is true and i want Puc but that form has been 2 shield games so far not a large sample size.

I think Puc deserves it but Burns would be a little stiff not to get the start of the summer.

 

[Scorpus]

At least we get to roll out this one again

 

[NSWCROW]

Kiwis just banged 3-238 off 20

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Henriques.... why?

True, but for Burns to get the gig we're rewarding past form, and going into the game with nothing more than hope about his game.

Wow

I'll preface this by saying I'd much rather Pucovski in the first test than Burns but I seriously could not agree with the philosophy of form over proven ability any more vociferously.

I have a suspicion that Langer won't select a young bloke unless he is backed into a corner.

He doesn't seem to like change too much.

 

[raptalia]

Just when I thought the selectors were over Mitchell Marsh they go and pull Moises Henriques out of their collective arse. Shane Watson you retired too soon.

Could be worse as I remember a Test in Sri Lanka when Marsh and Henriques batted at no 5 and no 6 for Australia. Australia lost.

How long would you persevere with a guy out of form, but with 'proven ability', before you'd acknowledge he isn't re-capturing the form any time soon and select another in his place?

 

[H00t]

Henriques with that huge batting average of 9 and a bowling average of 44.

Plus his age it’s a real nothing pick. Pretty much anyone from state level would have been a better pick.

 

[Tigerssaints]

NSW fav son Moises played 11 1 dayers ,batted 1o times .runs total 81 , highest score 18

33 yrs old
but he is in form ha ha ha

We like regurgitating some players in the hope they've changed their spots.

Guess he's gonna tear this game apart then........

I could understand them going Abbott even if they were concerned about Green's bowling. This means he's long odds for the test though if they are concerned he can't bowl 10.

 

[Cleavy]

Henriques.... why?

save Green's form for the Tests

 

[Malifice]

Smashed last night but have dragged my ass to the couch for this.

Come on Aussie!

 

[dogs105]

Maybe he'll lift his batting average into double figures?


Or bowling average below 40?

 

[Cesoir]

Wow, What a s**t selection. This was an opportunity to get a glimpse into the future, instead we are a like a dog returning to its vomit!

Not happy Jan!

Hey big Mal, haven't seen you for a while!!

Need more Adelaide-Carlton trades perhaps?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

I get not picking Green - his white ball numbers are not compelling

but henriques doesn’t fit a need - his bowling isn’t standard

replacing a batsman with Henrique would at least make sense - but you couldn’t rely on him to give you 5 overs

 

[Cataholic]

Nah..... Langer's still got Shaun Marsh and Callum Ferguson in front of him

Hahahaha, I'm backing the unders on the batting average
