Bess is a useless selection and he'll probably sit out
oh okVirdi could have been a better selection. Talking about Virdi there's a girl who I know also got the surname of Virdi and I thought she was related to him as their eyes looked similar too but they aren't related.
When did they try this? Wince was averaging 35 tops iirc in Div 1 and less for the season when he was recalled last year. It's a selection not based on anything really to do with test cricket. Also Wood is a bleah pick, of course he finally put up a good spell just at the right time.They must have seen how picking domestic performers hasn't exactly worked very well and picked him out of desperation.
Vince is at least gone.Wood and Vince are con artists. They perform well in CC and then show their true class while playing international cricket.
Basically just Vince isn't it? The rest of the batsmen deserved a go.When did they try this? Wince was averaging 35 tops iirc in Div 1 and less for the season when he was recalled last year.

None of the batsman had good career records though, it was just one or two good seasons. Not that there are many batsman going around first class cricket with a career average of over 40 to pick from.Basically just Vince isn't it? The rest of the batsmen deserved a go.
I'm not defending it btw, just trying to understand their thought process.
I admire the balls of any IPL franchise who took a punt on a lad who doesn't even make Lancashire's T20 squad.If they are gonna select players from IPL, Why don't send Hameed there and see him score as there are small boundaries and flat pitches and then select him for Tests?
Well they do select average Aussie players so selecting an international player might not be that big of a shockI admire the balls of any IPL franchise who took a punt on a lad who doesn't even make Lancashire's T20 squad.
