Sounds like Lochie Ferguson to me.
As for Suresh Raina… glad someone else brought him up. Useless shunt.

Not quite, Sloon had taken 65 wickets at 20 the proceeding domestic season (this too when Adelaide Oval was the roadiest of roads). It didn't work out, you are right about the injuries, but it certainly isn't like he hadn't looked damn impressive with the red ball before

Any NZ opener except Bryan Young who played in the era between John Wright and Matt Horne.

Krezja had better returns than pretty much anyone they tried between MacGill and Lyon though.
Casson, Hauritz, Krezja, Steve Smith as a bowler, Doherty, Beer. Magnificent times. I miss it.

Only because India were so busy trying to smash Krezja out of the park they skied a few. Didn't even remotely help Australia with his 12 wickets because he was leaking runs like a festival portaloo.

For England, it's hard to think of a player I've had less confidence in than Crawley. Though that's because Jade Dernbach never played a test.
Most of the crap England batsmen in recent years have been picked following a good run in county and decent support for the call. Burns, Stomeman, Westley, Lyth.

John Watkins. Represented Australia in one Test and his bowling was dogged by inaccuracy. The 'keeper was asked, "Is he getting any turn?" and replied, "He is on the pitch we used last week." To his credit, his batting (he scored 36 in the 2nd dig) was a great improvement on his FC record (ave 10.0) and he took the catch that won the match.

Kohli-Shastri duo had dozens of baffling calls in the space of 2-3 years. Selecting Stuart binny over bhuvneshwar Kumar, inexplicably dropping bhuvi after he'd been our best player in the first test of the 2018 SA tour , out of nowhere recalls of Gautam gambhir and parthiv Patel in 2016, etc.

That was suboptimal yeah.
But now I'm thinking about spin bowling all-rounders we take to Asia he's topped by both Zafar Ansari and Liam Dawson.
