Fair enough but whats he point in paying Cullen ahead of Macgill in Bangladesh when, and i quote, "obviously when the ashes comes about MacGill should definately play.."

because the bangladesh tour isn't no big tour & someone like Cullen who is going to play for australia sooner should be given a go in bangladesh IMO. But the ashes is the big thing & MacGill is still the 2nd best spinner in the country thats why i said when the ashes comes about we will go back to normal routine.

Hilfenhaus took 7/58 and guided TAS to an inning win against NSW.

So you want to give Cullen a token baggy green?

"Here son, we could've done better than you, but here you go anyway"

*sigh*

 

[chaminda_00]

LOL thats what happened to Nathan Haurtiz and look at where he is now.

 

[aussie]

well at least Cullen has some potential so at least he is worth giving a baggygreen to, also so what he is given had you say a token baggygreen, he is the best young off-spinner in the country, many people regard him highly & the bangladesh tour is not any huge tour so giving him a go their wont be the the worst of the most stupid thing the selectors could do.

The baggy green should be given to players who are genuinely the best available, not thrown around willy nilly, it's the greatest honour a cricketer can have in Ausrtalia, he's not ready, if he's such a star, which im not doubting, his time will come.

 

[Burpey]

Giving Cullen a token cap is equivalent to Dorey playing international cricket. Absolutely ludicrous.

So how did Tait get one?

Benchy said should not are

He said best available.

Looking at the way the alternatives are currently performing, it does make him the best available.

how can that be?

 

[chaminda_00]

how can that be?

Dorey over Dizzy is as stupid as Cullen over MacGill

 

[aussie]

Dorey over Dizzy is as stupid as Cullen over MacGill

it would be if the selectors decide to pick Cullen & forget about MacGill entirely, but all i'm saying is Cullen could be possibly just get selected for the bangladesh tour over MacGill just to give him some exposure thats all..

Surely it would be better to get Australia four/five prong attack working in tandem before the Ashes, rather then mix and match the bowling line up. Just have a look at what is going to happen to Sri Lanka after the Bangledesh series and how they rested handful of key players. Any improvements they made in Australia will be lost because they tired give a few of their talent players a run against a weaker side. Australia main objected in Bangladesh should be to build towards the Ashes, not to build for post McGarth and Warne.

 

[aussie]

well to be honeset i don't australia will lose too much momentum end route to preparation for the ashes if they rested a few key players for the bangladesh tour. After all they wont have McGrath at least.

What if they continue their poor form in South Africa and loss the Test Series, would you still rest a few key players?

no way, well then Cullen inclusion will depend on their test performance in south africa.

Steve Magoffin currently has 7/46 off 22 overs against SA, taking every batsman from 2 to 7-- that includes Lehmann, Cosgrove and Ferguson. Dorey, meanwhile has 0/77 off his 24.
