If the next pitch they dish up is like the last three, even though they did vary in pace, he isn’t worth the spot.Pointless playing Murphy if the Captain won't bowl him. I guess that has already been canvassed with Cummins and Murphy will seemoresome action.
Reckon he isn't worth the spot if its more of the same either. Boland probably goes for Haze, Green will probably come in, but I dont see how they get rid of Mitch, so that leaves Warner or Marnus. Can't see either of those going as much as I'd welcome, so Cummins will get his preference and Murphy gets it in the neck.If the next pitch they dish up is like the last three, even though they did vary in pace, he isn’t worth the spot.
Lyon is a different type of bowler on day 1 to 4 pitches, so his haul can’t really be compared.
A lot of this is also down to the batting style the pitches are curated for. I’d rather go the extra bat or all rounder.
I’d still like Warner to go, he’s been woeful for a long time.Give Renshaw or Harris a go.Reckon he isn't worth the spot if its more of the same either.

In: Green, Hazelwood
Out: Murphy, Boland.
Not just that, but he's dominating in Country Cricket too. It's not like he was told he was an English specialist and then has struggled - he's been good with both bat and ball. They've obviously put a black line through him, because there's no other reason to explain his absence. I've been telling my mate he should have been picked for the first test - he would have outperformed both Hazlewood and Boland, as well as strengthening our tail. Likely another Cummins call, the same way that Murphy not bowling at all was a Cummins call.A year or so back, the selectors told Michael Neser he was a specialist in English conditions only and wouldn't be picked for any other tour, yet, here he is on the Australian tour of England and cannot get a game.
Has he done more in English conditions than Scott Boland? Deserved a spot. Likely academic now that Hazlewood is right to play again.I like Michael Neser, but for all the hype, he's taken fewer wickets in the county championship this season, at worse average and worse strike rate, than Nathan McAndrew.
Everyone salivating over a big hundred is the same as England picking Jonny Bairstow because he bats faster than Ben Foakes.
I'd say yes. He got a hat-trick this year and taken 17 wickets in 7 innings of county matches.Has he done more in English conditions than Scott Boland? Deserved a spot. Likely academic now that Hazlewood is right to play again.
Ahead of Boland but still behind Hazlewood.Has he done more in English conditions than Scott Boland? Deserved a spot. Likely academic now that Hazlewood is right to play again.
did you see the pitch?Michael Neser took only one wicket as Leicestershire racked up 6/451 in 90 overs last night.
Still picking him?

Neser's overall record with the ball in the country championship division 2 this year is nothing special. He's taken one 5-fa. We're only talking about him because he's been good with the bat.
His average in two tests, both with pink balls in Adelaide, is irrelevant to the conversation. Scott Boland came in with a ridiculous bowling average, too, and they've taken him apart. Despite Allan Border saying "Boland’s style of bowling and his general accuracy makes him the prototype English bowler. In those conditions Boland is just about first picked....If they start playing Bazball, his style of bowling will be very hard to get on top of."He averages 16 in tests, 23 in first class cricket, has hit 4 first class centuries including 2 this English Summer (averaging 81, with almost 500 runs - that's not one good innings only) and averages 26 with the ball this County year, including playing on some roads. He's previously been told he's an English specialist, and we're playing an away Ashes in England. Other than Cummins and Starc having sporadic good innings occasionally (with a lot of dross in-between), our bowlers have been ordinary in the Ashes so far.
Neser is busting down the door. I get why they haven't picked him (I disagree with it, but I get it), but to act like he's just a nothing playing who people are only calling for because he slogged a few runs is well wide of the mark. It feels at this stage like he has a black line through his name and won't ever be picked for Australia again, and it's difficult to figure out why.

Shitting on Mitchell Starc when he's taken at least two wickets in every bowling innings is a bit rich, too. 17 wickets at 26 in three matches of test cricket vs 20 wickets in six matches in county division 2?
