Called it

We’ are so ****ed

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wtf Maxwell isn't even in the squad? lmao

If I was him I'd just say **** you guys and be an accountant or some **** jfc

 

[Prince EWS]

Doggett over Tremain as well? FMD.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Maxwell apparently was given the indication that he didn't need to go on the recent Aus A tour of India because his spot was pretty safe.

Doggett over Tremain as well? FMD.

I know people talk **** about selectors a lot in cricket but there's some seriously brain dead stuff in this squad.

 

[Starfighter]

OMFG. What a crock of ****

Doggett has done nothing at all to deserve a call up, ever.

 

[Borges]

Jon Holland and Marnus Labuschagne. Good.

Insane

Tremain has been just about the best non test quick for 2 years and is bowling pretty well in India while Doggett really hasn’t done a thing

CA being a bunch of two-faced ****s? Jeez, never saw that one coming.

And to cap it off, they’re talking about opening with Finch

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Maxwell ripped off again, just absurd.

Doggett needs at least another Shield season imo

 

[Starfighter]

There's a catch-22 here. If we lose 2-0 then people will brush it off with the events of a few months ago. If we don't lose 2-0 then it will justify the **** for brains selections. There's no way out of this.

 

[Starfighter]

And to cap it off, they’re talking about opening with Finch

At least that would save Khawaja's record as the statically best opening batsman ever.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I mean even ignoring Doggett's selection how do you ignore Tremain and pick Siddle, when Tremain consistently outbowled him in the Shield for the last couple seasons

 

[Spikey]

What an amazing squad

 

[TheJediBrah]

CA being a bunch of two-faced ****s? Jeez, never saw that one coming.

Personally I think they didn't pick Maxwell for the A tour because they knew he'd dominate and then it would be even harder for them to leave him out of the Test squad, which they wanted to do all along.

I thought leaving him out of that last test against SA even when half the batting line-up sent home was insane but this is even worse

Apparently wickets taken on early season English pitches do count after all.

Can't believe that Maxwell gets ****ed again. What a pack of arseholes. What does Neser have either to succeed there? Just cause someone plays fro Queensland doesn't mean they're good. Tremain mightn't ever amount to much but at least he's got pace.

 

[Jarquis]

This is better than I could have hoped for. I mean, I’m happier than anyone on the forum that Marnus has been picked but I didn’t think they’d actually do it... and that’s probably one of the better bad calls
