Australia vs India First Test - Adelaide Oval - Dec 9 - Dec 13

Hazelwood fair enough, Starc is a dead set insult to Siddle and a clear message.

I tell you what else is an insult a 'fast' bowler trundling in at 130km (being generous) and only bowling 20 overs!

Siddle's been eating too many bananas. Get some bloody protein in ya!

Good to see hazlewood get a gig, excited to see how he goes (also nice to hear pattison was bowling in the nets to the aussie batters)

Sids had to go, has been too poor for too long now. Needs to back and show good extended form in shield cricket (think he will find it hard to get back in with the abundence of young bowlers coming through). Needs to start eating meet again.

Not sure about Starc, i like 2 right handers and a lefty. Knew harris wouldnt last all 4 games, just impossible after lack of work before series and close games.

Nice to see S Marsh in as well, needs to make the most of it or it could be curtains as well, you only get so many chances (although injury has played a big part in him missing games)

When you are crook you wont bowl quick or many overs

I think you need to go travelling or something, and get yourself some perspective.

I know he's still young but this is the time for Starc to put it all together. Tall, left-arm, pace, bounce, swing - all the ingredients to be a great bowler. It also looks as if this pitch is taylor made for him so if he can't get wickets here then there's issues. I'm actually kinda surprised that he up until now has been so erratic considering he's one of the best at executing a Yorker in limited overs. Now just bring that back to a good length and you'll be successful Mitch

He did the same for 12 months! Hazelwood is much better

 

[ajdude]

If he was ever going to be recalled it was before the UAE tour

you mean the UAE tour that he was part of the squad for?

 

[western royboy]

Marsh boys only the fifth pair of brothers to play in the same test right?
For Australia.

And they should send a message to Siddle.

He doesn't have the weapons to be a threat at test level anymore.

Siddle was ill during the last test, that would take some Km out of you. Horse for courses will be the go.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yes, meaning the team. Instead they went with Siddle (no idea why)

oh dear......starc and hazelwood

I know Abbott is probably not ready mentally but I wish he was selected

As what! We have 2 all rounders in there already!

 

[KissKiss]

Im another who is not convinced by the Starc selection. Still too inconsistent IMO. Although it will not surprise me that he will go out and take a few wickets mostly due to it being perfect bowling conditions which will "justify" his selection to some people

 

[BluesMan]

I know Abbott is probably not ready mentally but I wish he was selected

He's no where near a test spot

 

[carnthemlions]

I know Abbott is probably not ready mentally but I wish he was selected

Why?
Nowhere near test selection at this stage.

 

[Hellgood]

He's no where near a test spot

Odd post wasn't it.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Abbott is on the cusp of test selection because he is from NSW and has a few decent shield performances behind him.

I'm going to drag this quote of yours across to one of the Australian Politics forums, PowerRaid!

 

[peternorth]

selected because of what has happened?

 

[Power Raid]

selected because of what has happened?

On ability

 

[The_Reaper]

Abbott is not good enough to play test cricket.

At the moment at least.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

On ability

Just no. Competing with Mitch Marsh and well he ain't winning that

 

[The_Reaper]

Sean Abbott is not competing with Mitch Marsh.
One would play in the top 6 and the other would bat at 8 or below
