(and steve smith will pick steve smith)

Sounds about right. Looks a great test prospect but not a shorter game man yet. Leave that to a few specialists/older heads.

Enough cricket to play without him risking injury in the hit and giggle cup anyway.

Last year Starc was regarded as being injury prone so, by default almost, was allowed to have a full pre-season and hasnt stopped bowling since

Cummins was rushed back into the team and broke down after 3 overs

Pattinson was rushed back into the team and still looks to be running on egg shells

They should just leave them alone to strengthen their bodies IMO

 

[Spark]

so don't pick them for the two spring 'tours'?

It's not so much the fact that they've broken down, but that they've broken down straight away upon return. It suggests they probably needed some more strength and conditioning work before being rushed back. I tend to think bowlers are perhaps rested too often at times but if anything they need more time off when they do happen to get injured than they're getting.

mother ****er **** yes!!!!!

Greg Mail joins NSW SpeedBlitz Blues selection panel

Love the idea of someone so familiar with the grade setup getting the gig. He will deliver.

It's more the captain and coach coming on board I like. I mean, surely they won't keep on selecting 7 bowlers?!?

Contract list is a bad sign on that front

It didn't help that we lost half our batsmen....

Well then it gives us more ammo to use against the captain and coach!

A bit disappointed the NSW selectors went with Daniel Hughes, a 33 year old, who have a fairly average grade season. Reckon they should have given a contract to Cameron Merchant (28), Sam Robson (23) or Ahilen Beadle (25). All had good grade seasons last year. The first two also have solid first class records overseas and are top order batsmen.

Happy with the other selections.

Cam Merchant's having another go at trying to crack the NSW team?

Yeah, got another gig playing 2nd XI last season. Not sure what his plans are now he missed out on a contract though.

We need to start a viral 'Pick Sam Robson' campaign..

CricInfo says 33, though obviously it may be incorrect, particularly given he hasn't played yet.

 

[Spikey]
