Sad state of affairs when a 30 year old bloke averaging under 40 is called into the test team.
Averaged 49 last year, 42 the year before. Best of a bad bunch

He certainly deserves his crack but I am hardly excited about him moving forward. Hope he does well.

Geez this team is easy to get into these days, got to be someone in their 20s who could have a long career worth brining in.
Good luck though hope he goes well

a good player, but yeah it does show a bit of concern when he is the next in line.... but you never know what can happen. it's still very possible to have a 50-test career debuting on the wrong side of 30...
Luckily the selectors are picking a team on form and not age. He's been the best state batsman over the past 12 months and deserves his spot. Credit to the selectors, the last lot would have given Steven Smith a go.

Always saw him making an ODI debut before even thinking about a test match but good on him.
Unfortunately, I think the Saffers are going to have a field day this summer.

Averaging 42 49 and now what 22 over the last 2 and a bit years is hardly second to none, id rather put someone like bailey in who has out performed him or take a chance on a youngster, put hughes back in. Feels like baggy greens are handed out a lot these days
You say baggy greens are handed out too easily, but think George Bailey should get one?
I don't doubt that baggy greens are handed out to easily, I just think it is curious that someone thinks they are handed out to easily but would be happy for George Bailey to get one.

On form no... But Geroge Bailey and Quiney are the same age.. Bailey has a better average, double the number the of centuries and more than double the number of scores over 50 than quiney... over their /fc career by every measure Bailey outperformed Quiney... so before bagging out the guy you did too much just remember that Bailey has performed more consistently than Quiney.
Over their career's, Bailey has been more consistent you're right. But since Quiney has been opening, he has been a better player than Bailey.
George Bailey averaged 58 last year to Quineys 49....
And he's playing at Bellerive and he's played pretty well in the one dayers he's been part of. Seems odd to me that he hasn't been chosen.
55 not 58. The year before that Bailey averaged 30 to Quiney's 42.
58 in the shieldhttp://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en..._batting_average.html?id=6788;type=tournament... Now this was not to brawl but you pointed out since Quiney as opener had outperformed Bailey, the fact is it's up in the air, Quineys form has been good but the way Bailey is maligned on Bigfooty for batting Tasmania to high shield finishes is crazy.
Now I belive you must pick on current form and the right moment came along for Quiney so be it... but stop your one line digging at Bailey because your not backing your bagging him out with fact.
