it only makes sense that australian cricket finally decides to pick a spinner for a test match before he's even made his FC deut

Absolute disgrace picking a guy with no first class experience. If they needed a spinner, give Boyce or Rose an opportunity or fly over someone from the A squad who didn't make the XI like Maddinson.

Peter Taylor got a mention in the other thread so I think its fine to ask: Ashton who?

I highly doubt Turner is going to be an Ashes bolter or anything, this is probably just a developmental thing, just to see where he is at, he was probably the pick of the bowlers in that warm-up game against Sri Lanka at Canberra in December though.

Boyce is rubbish, Fawad is the best wrist-spinner in Australia and Zampa is probably second, Rose is also very inexperienced, don't see why he would be a better choice, SOK would've been if they could be bothered flying him over.

I meant to include Zampa along with Rose and Boyce. I never said Boyce was good btw. Basically, I just think it is so stupid to pick a guy to represent Australia in a first class match who has played a grand total of zero first class matches. End of the day though, they figure Ashton Who? is a better selection over Chris Rogers who just got out to two pathetic pieces of batting and could do with some time out in the middle.

Why would you give an opener with 2 fails a bat. Clearly the better solution is to hangout holding Twattos hand.
