Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

Why am I not surprised by that?

The ex-cricketers on the wireless thought he might get the nod ahead of far more deserving players  >

Yep....shows you how well the Shield system is working in producing players and how the big money in the shorter formats has wrecked the techniques of batsman for test cricket. Jamie Siddons couldnt get a game averaging 50 in Shield cricket back in my young days and Lehmann who averaged about the same was fringe selection for most of his career yet we have a bloke who averages 29 now in the squad... :o
Smith and Warner will be straight back in this team as soon as they have finished their suspensions....
