God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[Milhanna13]

If the news rags are accurate even Maxwell has given up on that dream ................ what is worse I've heard Maxwell and Finch have been told don't bother rolling up for Vic Shield cricket either! That's cutting them off at the source so that even if the weight of public opinion grows in their favour they'll have no basis for a claim.

This is how the cricket mafia works, it's tenticles cross all borders, even oceans.

Does seem a bit much if Vic rolls out  Finch, Maxwell, Handscome in the top 6 - half your top 6 with no real chance of playing test cricket again... should be trying to produce future test players (def dont drop them all, you do need some senior players to keep comp tough) - maybe this is the thinking?
