SOS Brad Hodge?

[Tyberious Funk]

Ok, so I'm trolling a little here

But Watson looks to be out of the first test against NZ, and Marsh is injured. Katich is out of favour (and form). There's not a lot of options. Liam Davis is topping the Shield runs but as good a season as he is having, he's nowhere near Test level. Second on the list is Voges who is injured.

So I take a look at the top run scorers in the domestic one dayers, and sure enough there's Hodgey. Having another cracking season.

For just a match or two, why wouldn't you give the poor bastard a shot? We even have a new suite of selectors who might consider reviewing his "never to be selected" status

Selection checklist:

Plays for Vic or NSW [tick]

Well he ticks all the boxes.

2 old we need young players

Get over it......he's done.
God forbid David Warner gets a test match, but the selectors have signalled their intentions so this seems most likely IMHO.
The other opening option maybe Hussey. Then we are looking for a middle order batsman. Maybe George Bailey or Moses Henriques batting at 6. Perhaps Matthew Wade could come in as a batsman........??
But Warner would be favourite at the moment.

chris rogers has been forgotten ever since he moved to vic, despite playing some of his best cricket in that time. doesnt do the vic-hate theory any help.

You have got to be taking the piss, the guy has never even scored a century and averages under 30 in first class cricket

Here's a suggested top 5 for the next test:

Stackpole
Lawry
I.Chappell
G.Chappell
Walters

Plenty of experience there.

 

[CHIEF SMACKAHOE]

he's victorian, he's no chance

 

[beez]

He doesn't even play First Class cricket, I know you're just taking the piss, but why bother?

 

[dumb]

warner seems to be the next best in line. would certaily improve the fielding standard.
