Banter The No Dazzlering Big Cricket Thread

[ioppolo]

I really hope Webster gets the nod tbh. He may struggle and people can say 'har har see how he fails internationally' but fyck me he's deserved a chance at least.

Boland beats the other two inclusions. What have Doggett and Abbott done to be included ahead of others? It's not like we're struggling for pace bowlers with good records in the Shield.

Makes you wonder what more Joel Paris has to do to get a call up

I don't get the selectors' fascination with Abbott. Etching out an Aus white ball career through mistimed slogs off bog average bowling.

He's neither best available nor a developing prospect for the Test squad. Poor selection.

 

[Ochre]

There's no way Hazelwood will be right for the 3rd test either if he's done a side surely.

Adding both Doggett and Abbott when Bolands likely to play anyway is weird, wonder if another quick is in doubt.

 

[THE A5]

Not sure what we gain from bringing in Boland though, he's a few months off 36. By all means keep him in the squad as drinks carrier/concussion sub.

Would love to see someone like O'Neill called up. This side desperately needs an injection of youth/excitement.

EDIT: Doggett, already 30, and Abbott called up. Meh.

Go youth but if your going for oldies you might as well go for Paris

 

[KBLT]

Abbott? Seriously?

Move to NSW

Abbott? Seriously?

yup its disgusting

 

[TY24]

Such a shame Jhye can't tie his shoes without doing his shoulder, otherwise he'd be straight in.

 

[Dazzler9]

Just imagine Paris with a pink ball under lights. Sigh

Neser not available I assume ?

If Marnus Labuschagne plays for Australia in second Test, it will expose double standards. i totally agree but there are so many other players before him that should be dropped. But if they do & they just bring in another > 25 year old player so not much point.​

Can you two keep it down in there?

Hell of a way to lose your best player for 0 in the final

Konstas, goodwin & breadman in the aussie team for starters

 

[Tugga27]

Hilton Cartwright has just what the Australian cricket team needs right now, so why is he not even in the mix?

MSN

Is this the same "Breadman" who hasn't even played a Shield game yet?

Agree tuggs.....doesn't even get a mention. a bit like Whiteman at the start of the season with the opening slot...nothing

Paris and Cartwright could be playing the PM X and the same with marnus but nothing

It's commentators like Crash Craddock that s&&t me he just shits all Over the shield comp and only advocates for his favourites......his video with Marnus at the net session is just pure cringe

But it is a long way WA from the east coast so comms takes a while

Yeah neither has Charlie Anderson yet he removed both Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Remember when Lloyd Pope was the next big thing?

He can legally vote, which means he's too old, apparently.

Get him in as well.
