God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

The squads are somewhat bizarre, I can't see any rational to how some get bypassed while others get promoted, I suspect it's more about politics than form lines or potential. For example Renshaw gets in but has no form.

Its amusing isnt it.....Warner pressured Bancroft who was trying to be one of the boys club by making him part of sandpapergate and has been banished every since yet all was forgiven with Warner and Smith. Bancroft throws the bowling contingent under the bus by saying they knew about what was going to happen but they sent him to Coventry and captain Cummins doesnt want him in the team and has the yes man coach Ronnie Mac doing what the players want. Of course Bancroft is a Justin Langer favourite so thats probably not helping him either.
Smith isnt an opener and I am yet to see what Green has done to be played at No4 apart from hang out with the right people....saying all that with such garbage opposition in Pakistan and the Windies this summer anyone could bat anywhere and still make runs or take wickets.
