Smith was always going to be of more use on this wicket than Faulkner; one of the reasons I stated before the match that I thought it was a bad selection even if Watson couldn't bowl.

it's pretty clear to me they planned on picking agar, and once he was ruled out with his illness, they decided to stick with the some bowling all-rounder thingy for some reason

Yeah I think they just decided that he deserved selection more than the failing bats based on his work on tour etc, and that they didn't actually give a **** if it made the team worse anyway. Which is absolutely dire IMO. Honestly would've made much more sense to play Maxwell even despite the fact that he wasn't in the squad.

Think they just wanted to make Wade sad.

Faulkner has pretty much used the first innings as a glorified ODI practice match. A run a ball 23 and 7 economical overs. Can't wait for his 3 over slower ball out the back of the hand spell later on.

Also, gee that Tim Gilbert irritates me. I dislike being stuck on GEM for the next half hour.
