Cricketer Of The Year
So they priced the series out of the market then dumped on Maxwell as retaliation. Greed and spite and revenge. Such pleasant people to deal with.
Langer gave Agar a massive wrap today in the papers.
Said he's the best young Australian player since Phil Hughes came on the scene as a 18 year old.
Considering the likes of Pattinson and Cummins have come on the scene, a big call I would of thought.
I've seen a bit of him, and what I've seen has been impressive.
Left armer, pretty tall for a spinner, I'd say he's about 6"2ish, gets awkward bounce and rips the odd one, Has a good arm ball. Add to that, he's a genuine #7 bat apparently.
The Vettori comparisons are pretty good, he has a very similar action/high release point, and he's a similar height to him.
Will be interesting to see how he goes today, I get the feeling if he had 6 months more under his belt, he'd be playing ahead of Doherty on a turning deck.

Keeps his eye on the ball, which is the important part.

but is victorian, so probably can't play the short ball non be effective with the ball at test level
Catch 22, I'm sure they'd like to keep him around for a "what if" scenario, because, lets be honest, Doherty is an absolute trash longer format bowler. But he's missing out on some pretty valuable shield experience if he sticks around for a month as a nets bowler.
It's pretty obvious the selectors aren't a fan of Doherty (he's probably plan D or E considering some of the injuries Australia has had), and Invererity is a big big fan of young Agar.
