I agree with you. Real shame that the schedule is too busy for first class games on tours like this. But in terms of what the selectors have to go on, I'd rate performance whilst training on spinning decks in Dubai and Galle nets as a better indicator of likelihood to succeed in Galle than playing paceman on seaming decks in Australia is.
What’s wrong with using an icname
Yeh. Who wants discussion forums to be formal.
I don't like that we often call them just by their surname. It should be Mr. Labuschagne.
Fair dos. Tassie is my second fave state, but having said that what do we call you, Mr nobby
No Konstas is just madness IMO.
Gotta call it how you see it
If he's the future surely the experience will do him wonders
Not if he's not ready for Asian pitches. Got to set him up to succeed rather than fail.
It would seem like it to him.
Only one way to find out, so reckon at least give him the first test
He’s going to need to get up to speed one way or another, as we tour India in a couple of years. He plays the first test at least for mine, as this is as close to a free hit as he’ll ever get in Asian conditions.
Konstas? Why not?
Not tempted to stick in an extra batter, Inglis or McSweeney (who can bowl), and use Head as the third spinner? Our fragile batting remains a real concern for me. Won't have Cummins to save the day this tour.
The same applies for Connolly, Webster and Inglis.
