Seriously, they are doing an outstanding job selecting these sides. Again rewarding a combination of form and young newcomers. Every time we release one of these team sheets of late, you feel like we're actually putting ourselves in a position to progress.

Read reports that basically say Haddin has been selected as a means of giving him the opportunity to find some form. Why couldn't it be an opportunity for a young, up-and-coming keeper to prove himself to be an alternative? Not exactly sure why the incumbent player gets the special treatment.

Otherwise, I'm really glad to see Cutting coming back from injury, and NCN getting some recognition. Both potential players for the future.

Wade will be getting his opportunity to shine in the T20i on the same day, so no one is missing out....

It might be because Sa and Vic are playing a Shield game [remember them ?] at the same time and Tas play NSW in a Ryobi Cup game the following day.
Hence my question, thank you

I remember the last time a strange lop sided team was picked it was due to that reason, although surely if they think thats a problem how hard is it to schedule in a gap?
