[Voice of the G]

Don’t need more than 1 quick. I’d play Starc over Cummins purely because he can bat a bit but honestly no more picking half fit blokes please

Gut feeling they are going to,will play a out of form Warner and a big question mark over Renshaw and even Lyon.(Would keep Lyon in the side though).And hopefully they do not go with AB,s idea of dropping Murphy.As for playing 1 quick need Green in the side for that to happen and as you said do not play unfit players.

It’s even worse in India playing unfit players especially bowlers where the workloads are higher

We have done it plenty of times, Watson was played a number of times half fit

Hazelwood should not be there and starting to wonder about Starc and Green if they both still injured and miss this test.The latter 2,s injuries were from the boxing day test,a long time ago.3 of your bowlers,can perhaps get by with 1 with injury issues.

Finger injuries take a while. But the mistake they made was not taking spare players. Agree on Hazelwood and for that matter Morris. Morris would be better served playing Shield

Yup another WA player sitting on his arse mixing the drinks....getting a bit annoying from a WA point of view

same with Agar if your not going to play him ...why the F88k put him in a training camp before the tests and take him out of domestic cricket ?

selectors have been annoying

Agar should be pissed, brought to India as second choice spinner, now apparently fourth choice.

I don't think we have the quality to play three spinners, unless one is Agar and you're hoping for a few runs as well. Should be Lyon and Murphy, Cummins and Starc, with Green , Labs and Smith to offer relief.

From reports Agar has been struggling to hit the side of a barn while bowling at training.

No, see the barn is #easternstatesbiased. They have gamed the training to try to hurt WA players.

Dave Warner walked away from the process to have his leadership overturned to protect his family yet in his wife's memoir which will be released in April, you can bet sandpapergate will feature in the book thus rehashing the whole story which the Warner family will have to live through again.

Agar is very fortunate to be there at all.

I feel for him now. He must know it's almost over.

I don't think he was the second choice spinner. I think he was only there in case they played three quicks, not something normally considered for India but given the lack of proven quality spin options it had to be a consideration.
Haze going down basically took that option away, ensuring Murphy played (which was the only thing that went well) in the series opener. Agar would have played in Green's place if only one specialist spinner was chosen. I don't think he was ever there as a front-line bowling consideration.

Now that three quicks can be ruled out, he and Warner could head home and get some Shield time in. Agar desperately needs to play some red ball.

Yeah, Hazlewoods inclusion in Sydney was absurd, he was clearly not right to go - they seem so ready to drop Boland (and Neser for that matter) just to parachute an injury prone and lacking in match fitness Hazlewood at any opportunity. He shouldn’t have played in Sydney, and he certainly shouldn’t have been in the plane to India. He should have been in recovery mode getting right for the Ashes.

Good article on the Roar opining that the selectors are letting him down, and that they should tell him it’s time to either retire or be dropped - his choice.

should have told him that after Sydney

Probably before Sydney TBH.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Agreed, and that’s essentially the jist of the article.

 

[Gough]

Most divisive Australian cricketer of his generation going out the same way he entered, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised.

The Sandpaper crew got what they deserved in my view, unfortunately we are the only ones that seem to take it as seriously as it should be
