Cricket Thread: Indian Summer

Sean Abbott is a real enigma.

Bad record at ODI level (how has he played so many?), expensive and average at T20/T20I level, nothing special about his FC record

Gets picked in every squad these days somehow?

Plays a blinder of a BBL game every now and then.

He's a very average cricketer

Absolute joke he was picked for Test squad v Sri Lanka.

Shouldn't be anywhere near the Test squad.

I did wonder whether we'd be stupid enough to do something like that

For those thinking the Australian selectors are doing well because we won against India are neglecting we continued to pick Marsh til the last test (impacting on quicks workloads), refused to pick McSweeney in the middle order despite the likes of Marnus struggling & now picked a proven dud fast bowler ahead of plenty of better performers like Bartlett.

They really don't need to make too many changes, yet they usually make far less than they should.

Going to be interesting to see how they manage the transition of players over the next few years.

Look, there's things that I've disagreed with - but it's hard to argue with the results.

I've said consistently that I don't think this is a great Australian team, but it does have a few absolute champions, and they've won everything available.

Convincingly? Maybe not. But does that matter?

Royal blue cap is another significant reason.

Good mates with the fast bowling cartel
