For mine, the whole debate is a complete yawnfest. As long as we're winning Test matches, that is surely the most important consideration!!!

For those that weren't around here in 2008-9 the McGain saga also needs to be mentioned. The bloke's tyres were endlessly pumped up on this board, mainly by Bushranger fans of course. Best spinner in the SS, automatic selection and all that. I'd hardly seen him bowl so didn't really disagree.
But a very small handful of posters 'dared' to voice the opinion that he actually wasn't all that good, and would really struggle at Test level. They were attacked on here with stuff like 'know nothings' or 'Vic haters'.
Well we all know how that story ended...
It was AB de Villiers and true he had been injured. He still was a pretty rubbish bowler.He came back underdone from shoulder surgery and just happened to run into a rampant Kallis.
Bushranger John Hastings picked to open the bowling at WACA of all places takes the cake, steaming in looking all big and burly.. only to lob down his military paced pies.
Pretty sure he was also leading the SS bowling averages at the time, perfect example of how performances at the lower level often don't mean much.
But according to a lot of the BF brains trust all the selectors should do is pick the guy with the best average in the shield.
Probably used the same one all you hodge fan bois use to declare podge "would ve of scored 3000 test runs if given as many chances as Smarsh...durrrrr"
Even Healy rated Berry the best keeper in the country in his playing daysDo Vics still think Darren Berry was hard done by, or is it just Darren Berry?
The difference is the NSW players are drafted in to the side and given ample opportunities! The players from other states are just thrown in to the side to cover for an injured player then usually discardedMost Victorians that were left out were done so because they were better options at the time. No other state seems to have nearly as much problem with having NSW players in the team as much as they do. If they opened their eyes our best four bowlers and best two batsmen are from NSW and anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.
