Read an article on cricket.com.au this morning the Bird and Doug Bollinger (would you believe it) were vying for spots. Bollinger are you f**king kidding me. Anyway great to see Sayers picked.

These players should have been picked against England for the same reason. Pity that it takes an Ashes loss for the selection panel to understand that control and lateral movement are as important as pace when it comes to winning matches.

3rd most wickets in 2015 behind ashwin and broad, 51 @ 23.35
15 test career, 61 wickets @24.54
20 wickets @ 16.1 in 5 matches against WI
16 wickets at 25.75 in 4 matches against England.
13 wickets @ 31.6 in 3 matches against NZ
12 wickets @29.3 in 3 matches against India
Obviously his figures are skewed a bit because of the 5 tests against WI, but it's hardly going missing against england.

When he was bowling with the 2 Mitch's he was expected to be the guy who bowled line & length whilst they sprayed them & often released pressure. To me he struggled with that restriction & showed he wasn't really suited to that role. A guy like Siddle in the side opens things up for him to be more attacking & play what seems a more natural role for him

I think he's more suited to a McGrath type role with Starc firing every ball in around the ribs, they'll chance their eye on Hazelwood and if he's patient he'll cash in.

Reckon they go with Siddle
