Martin Love averaged 46.6 from 8 innings, and his last score was an unbeaten 100.
Admittedly, that score came against Bangladesh, but how many players get their Test careers terminated immediately after scoring a century?
I'm not necessarily saying that Martin Love should be in the Test side, but it does seem that some players get a lot more opportunities than some, for no discernable reason.
I also wonder whether the current line-up is the right one.
Katich, Clarke and Watson occupy spots in the middle and lower order, and I have serious doubts about whether that's the right combination.
It just makes you wonder. Guys like Martin Love and Brad Hodge get left on the shelf, even though the guys in the team aren't really performing.
The Australians selectors have a very good track record, but they'd be hoping for some decent scores from the middle order this summer. Otherwise there need to be some questions asked about the decision to give certain players more rope than others.
