I’d rather Jhye in a pink test anyway. He’s just as good with the ball swinging

Not in the selectors' minds unfortunately. All he needs is one good T20 or ODI game and they'll say his form has returned and he picks himself.

Had a disaster summer on the field, but knowing what we know now about his old man, it's not so surprising and pales into insignificance in comparison to losing your dad. Assuming CA knew his old man was sick (I can't imagine he withheld it from them), there's a pretty strong argument they were negligent in keeping him in the public eye and playing test cricket.
He may have been adamant he wanted to stay occupied and continue to ply his trade (which is fair enough), but there are plenty of ways CA could've allowed him to do that without having to subject him to public scrutiny when it was clear he was bowling miles below his best.

Mate, have you forgotten the roughly 12 months Handscomb went being an absolute walking wicket. Exagerrating his flawed stance while also being unable to hit the ball? Very justified dropping and it has taken him basically 2 years to find any kind of domestic form too. Older than Harris.
Renshaw was probably unjustified as he did little wrong but again has been basically unable to buy a run in shield for nearly 2 years until this season. Very much still young enough to push back in should he continue to score though.
Nah I reckon the wheel has turned and he will struggle to play on the flatter decks of sydney and melbourne. So far in the shield he is struggling to take wickets
He will need a big end of the shield season and will have to perform in the shield games leading up to the Ashes next year
I can only see him being considered for the pink ball test at adelaide......hopefully we are only going to have one pink ball test
Even if he bowls well with the white ball which I hope he does....I believe that should not be taken into consideration for test cricket ...he needs to perform with the red ball for me
Pattinson deserves a crack along with Jhye as backup

I'd pick a fit Jhye ahead of Pattinson.

Agreed. If he’s bowling fit I like Jhye in there too.

Even better he has gone back to where he started and played with his local club which he gets few chances to do these days.

I’d still plump for Patto right now, but the gap is getting smaller.

Jhye would want to play some first class cricket before he's in front of anyone for a test spot.

That would do it. Another problem that is causing a downturn of the test team. Our best players are now overseas because the scheduling is so poor.
Normally the shield season is done by now so there is no clash
He would be lucky to start the season in the NSW IX

New South Wales are only playing 9 next season?
Hahahaha well if they keep picking Starc they are only playing with X
Replace would with should please.
Realistically if he is fit he will get picked for the first Ashes Test, warranted or not.
