India v Australia 5 T20s for the IDGAF Trophy.

[Cleavy]

I do feel some of the selections are based on what players did say 2-4 years ago in the BBL than recent campaign.

is it also picking players to not upset the Shield comp/BBL buildup atm?

This may come as a bit of surprise to some by Ben McDermotts selection is a bit of a surprise as well.

in BBL 12 he scored 196 runs total from 149 balls. Thats roughly an average of 16.33 a game

If you take out his best performances against Adelaide away (a 53 and 56), he scored 86 runs from 96 balls total, at a strike rate under 100.


He looked way out of form last night. I did remember last year he underperformed in BBL and those stats sort of reinforce that.

The selection policy of T20 players as a whole in international teams is questionable.

McDermott has been gifted 24 T20I games for an average of 16 and a S/R of 93…. surely there’s others out there?

This shits me, because I could probably name you 10 India batters that average 45+ in T20s that can't make the side

I didnt realise his record at international level was that pretty either.

Tell them to move to Richmond in Melbourne or Lightsview in Adelaide, theyll qualify for the green and gold and be playing internationals in no time.

I know its hard being parachuted in for a couple of games but it is a little disconcerting that players are not stepping up when given an opportunity

How many have played in India before, and are used to the weather, the pitches, the noise? It can’t be easy if you haven’t.

It's not easy, but if you're good enough, you'll find a way.
Philippe and McDermott look miles off.

Tanveer Sangha may be a late push for the IPL in 2024.

Economy rate is nearly 9.

Needs more time I reckon.

Travis Head would be the only main contender for an IPL contract from this series, out of those that aren't already playing
