Surely not for the players.
You mean the pommie players right?!?

Yes, his spot might be on the line. If Rogers is good to go in the second test then S.Marsh might replace Voges at number 5.

Given the amount of "opportunities" some blokes are given.... S. Watson for example, I hope the selectors give Voges a few more games yet before discarding him.... he was our best batter in the West Indies not that long ago!

His scores are:
130* & DNB v WI
37 & DNB v WI
31 & 1 v Eng.
25 & DNB v Eng.
Maybe he was our best bat v the WI but really he has only made one score. Few would rate the WI attack he faced all that highly.
Having said that, I would never question the selection of a player who knocks the door down by making runs in the Shield, given how plenty of spuds who've done nothing at Shield level have been picked in recent years.
Ed Cowan is an example of a player who had a couple of massive seasons in the Shield, but never really got going at international level. I was glad that he was picked initially because I believe in rewarding good Shield performances, but eventually he had to go, and Voges will be in the same boat if he doesn't start making runs, particularly given that he's 35. He should probably get another couple of games (especially if Australia keep winning). Hopefully he does get some runs because God knows S. Marsh will spud it up if picked.

That's an averages of 56.... I would take that every day of the week.

Take out the 130* and it's pretty poo, to his credit though. he made that when everyone else spudded up.

The difference is that is about all Watson is capable of.
