Henriques what a ******* potato... His file should be marked never to play for Australia again. If they pick him for the Adelaide test... I flat out refuse to go. Not getting my hard earn't to watch that clown play.
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!

Our selection policies shit me but you have to give Shaun Marsh credit though, comes into the side and immediately has an impact. Whether it's a road or not you still got to make them. Today he justifies his selection. His best position in the side is definitely at the top of the order and at least he has a definitive role in the side, something that Henriques doesn't have. He's an allrounder that didn't bowl and is batting number 5, that's not his natural role, he ain't a test number 5 FFS. The only reason why Henriques should get a gig is if Mitch Marsh can't play. Just a bewildering selection, the selectors are really taking the piss with this one. Like they did with Holland aswell. Should of introduced some young blood that are coming through the ranks (Bancroft, Hanscomb, Head, Stoinis, Zampa) on tour rather than these first class battlers.

They will play the blokes who have a CA contract, mostly, which sh@#s me.
I don't question the selectors too much but Henriques over Head?.... Zampas non selection as well.

Zampa has a First Class Bowling average of 50.77 and you are having a crack at blokes here for questioning the continued selection of Shaun Marsh?? :roll:

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't drop two guys who potentially have a future in test ranks. At least Burns and Khawaja average over 40 at test level (unlike S. Marsh).

Not sure I agree......otherwise we could have another Dan Cullen on our hands. But the spin options are very limited especially with some injuries.

Clearly the selectors wanted a left arm orthodox, Agar injured and O'Keefe joining him doesn't leave much in the cupboard. But if they didn't have one then maybe Fawad Ahmed. A leg spinner at the back end of his career with only a couple of seasons of First Class cricket left in him.

Hahaha oh ffs....really?
We both know he's a better bowler than those figures suggest.
I'm having a crack at blokes for not giving credit where credits due.

Even the great man battled for a bit early.
No I'm not comparing him to Warne but he does have a bit of cu@# about him that will be a major benefit at test level.
Get him in the team now and test his mettle.

Starc gets 1. Batsmen offers no shot, ball hits pad. As plumb as you'll see.

Well done Shaun Marsh. Can't stand him as a cricketer but he has stood up in this match so credit where credit is due. If they have a Baggy Green on their head I want them to succeed.

1/21

Sri Lanka 355, Starc with 5



The thing is tho if he hits a ton off 80 balls the Australian media want to knight him. Can't have it both ways


So limited overs cricket only, especially away from home.
