Why is Jackson bird there? He is shite
Depends on SA. If they leave some juice in the pitch to help Philander (who’s rubbish on flat tracks) then Bird will be useful. Very competent bowler when the ball is moving.
 
Why not Sayers?
He’s a slower version of Bird really.
Not sure he’ll ever make the step up, he may get games but that lack of pace rules him out for playing test here imo. Look what MMarsh’s 130km trundlers get us. No wickets.
 
it'll be amusing when we get torn apart by philander then.

it just keeps sending the wrong message to successful shield cricketers. take all the wickets you like, get out all the talented batsmen you want, it doesn't count for anything.

You mean like Maxwell. Sure sending a good message to him.
Doesn’t matter how many you score, the captain doesn’t like you. Bad luck.

maxwell should absolutely be there.

Sure.

Carrying on like a tit isn't going to get him back in the side though, is it?
well clearly being the best shield bowler isnt helping.
 
Who would you have dropped to fit him in, in 'all the seasons'?
adelaide 2016. took 11 wickets to bird's 2 when the teams met in the shield. conditions perfect for him. gets a welcome text or whatever from steve waugh. bird plays.

surely no one can be surprised that sayers is more than a little aggrieved at this point.

That's one game. Surely you're not suggesting a bowler gets picked off the back of one game...

I would be surprised if he wasn't aggrieved. Still immature to have a crack at the guy picked in front of you though.

well you can seemingly get picked after having 5 career games.
