Australia Team Discussion

[zwarrior]

Steve Smith has been ruled out of tour to due to an ankle injury !

Therefore , Matthew Wade will captain in the Chappell-Hadlee series in

Why not David Warner selected as the ?
@Umair2000

Warner is rested.

@Naman Thakur Smith is injured & Warner is going to UAE to prepare for India tour!

Isn't Aus-NZ kind of a rivalry series too, perhaps not on the same scale as Aus-Eng or Ind-Pak matches? If yes, surprising to see Warner giving preference to India tour than this series.

Just saw the schedule. It's a short 3-match series.

Klinger's finally about to get his big break after all these years.

Why wasn't Klinger selected before ? His stats are good and he has tons of experience. Happy he finally got a chance.

Very happy for Klinger. He should have been picked earlier.

Why has he never got a go in the international setup earlier? Consistent run scorer whatever level he has played eg: Big bash/County cricket.

 

[Bluebagger]

Klinger averages about 35 in the Shield doesn't he? There's your answer why he never got the gig. He had a couple of seasons where he piled on runs and maybe should have got a go when he was at South Australia but he was hardly a Michael Hussey.

This is an extremely good article about Australia's flawed selection policy. What's the point in hosting domestic tournaments throughout the year when at the end only 20 year olds who've had two good games in the BBL are going to get selected? Unless Greg Chappell gets kicked out, nothing can stop Australia from becoming the next West Indies in the near future.

No way Australia is becoming the next WI but yes some of the recent selection have been mind boggling.

Besides the fact that up until the South African mauling we were selecting guys who were in their mid 30's and wheeling out Shaun Marsh every couple of series. Cameron White was an international failure.
