Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[LP]

And Hanscomb? .... There are some things I like about him, but no way. Selecting someone for an England tour who can't get onto his front foot, or even out his crease, should be an indictable offence. The only exception I can think of is Damien Martyn and Pete's well short of that quality.

Not sure what they are doing here, Handscomb has made a pile of runs in the UK in the past but not recently.

Hard to see other than playing the long game that selection is justified, Handscomb is still probably the front line option to Captain. I think hard numbers and form suggest that Wade has all these potential middle order batsmen comfortably covered at the moment. So I suspect there is a bit of politics involved, maybe there is no room for both Paine and Wade and the ACB have made their choice!
