So, Shaun Marsh HAS to play the one dayers because he’s scored 2 tons out of his last 5 one day knocks. The narrative just changes to justify the selection of the players they want/don’t want.

If the player they DIDNT want had just scored the pathetic tally Marsh has the narrative would be “look, he’s out of form at the moment and we don’t think the one day field is the best place to be trying to find form in....”

Yep, and there's the good bloke factor too.

Yep Langer should shut up about selection criteria and just say they are picking what they believe is the best team for the conditions etc.
 
Yep. Making himself look silly trying to justify every selection.

Throw the $$$ at Punter to take over.

And just before that he was saying that the most important thing was runs, he then must have been asked about the Marshes and their lack of runs.

Yer, but he knows a good bloke when he sees one ... at least from WA. That's what really matters.

With Warne as chairman of selectors.

::) Royce worked out pretty well as a coach too... I suppose the suits the doggies wore were better than Teaser's. Not sure if Warne's dress sense is up to that.

Warne has the best cricket brain in the country. Leigh Matthews made a pretty good coach, to make another irrelevant comparison.

Warne won't watch enough cricket at state level to be a chairman of selectors surely Spooker?

He would if they asked him to, Brian.

Greg Chappell passed his use-by date a long time ago.

Warne, Border, Ponting.
 
Lloyd Pope the ginger leggie who took 8 for in the U-19's world cup, got 6 for today for SA v QLD.

Perhaps not all doom and gloom in Australian cricket, there's a promising leggie on the horizon.

Him and Will Pucovski provide some hope for the future so long as the coaches and administrators don't *smile* them up.

Hope so, can't remember Australian cricket being any lower than it is now.
 
Reckon it was worse (on field at least) in the mid-80s, particularly 85/86.
Lost to NZ both at home and away and drew 0-0 at home with India at a time when India was a much different proposition to what it is now.
