They stuffed up the selections for the tests, what made you think it would be any different for the one-dayers?
I shudder to think how he and Tait will go at the world cup. I guess they can only get better......
To be fair on the selectors we have a World Cup a month away so blooding players in the shorter forms isnt a priority right now.
Lee has probably been the best fast bowler in the country in domestic one-day cricket this year so on form deserves his place in that regard.
The cupboard is also pretty bare in the bowling ranks with a lot currently out injured. Notably McKay & Harris probably the best 2 one-day bowlers both out of the Cup.

is that fact?
i thought mckay was a chance, and harris hadnt been ruled out yet, tho highly doubtful.

Harris is very unlikely, tho not ruled out yet. the following is the latest on cricinfo, from dec:

Why Oh no.
Poor biased article by a poor biased journo.
Dont think that would ever have seen the light of day if Hussey was back playing for WA.

true.
white hasnt bowled a single delivery in an ODI for over 2.5 years.
clarke bowled 14 overs on 18 ODI in 2010.
has the leading scorer for the last 2 one-day seasons been left out bc he doesnt bowl as well?
SCOOP said:
Marsh is thereabouts no doubt. He's a decent oneday player.
But given he needs to open the batting in one-day matches who does he replace Scoop. Haddin or Watson.
The article also categorically states Australia will not consider anyone who does not bowl outside Ponting & M.Hussey. Um excuse me Cam White & Michael Clarke...
Townsend also makes the comparison that it was playoff between D.Hussey & Marsh. Far be it for navy to stick up for a bushranger but given -
- the spot available is in the middle order - tick Hussey
- Better fieldsman - tick Hussey
- Better player of spin with the world cup due on the sub-continent - Tick Hussey
- Hussey should get through a lot of cheap overs over there - tick Hussey
Townsend doesnt understand that Marsh is not competing against Hussey for a slot it guys like Watson, Haddin, Clarke & Ponting.
We also need to remember our one-day team has been performing extremely well over the past year & more. The guys that have got us to No 1 hardly deserve to be thrown out with a World Cup on the horizon. Especially in the batting that looks very strong. With a couple of automatic selections out the bowling is th worry for navy.
