I'm no Steve Waugh fan either but FMD.
Problem is he's pathetic elsewhere and selectors will likely fall into the trap of backing him on our next tour elsewhere. We should be at least looking for players who can play in all conditions, not home deck heroes like Khawaja or sub-continental specialists like Marsh.
It's pathetic, Maxwell is still yet to play a home test, yet Marsh has been a consistent disaster here all through his career. I could understand if they went with Cartwright (who was stiff to be dropped for India because of the other Marsh), but picking the 34yo known quantity is unforgivable.
The worst part in all this is the poms are so absolutely hopeless that we'll still probably win 4 tests and the selectors will give themselves a big pat on the back for a job well done.
FFS, you could put a picture of him in the dictionary alongside the definition, Homer Simpson style.
