this is the exact words that would come out of the selectors mouth's if/when he's picked

 

[smash84]

****, this 'fiery brand' 'aggressive brand' kind of cliches are getting so annoying. I hate the word brand being thrown about so often by clarke and lehmann. Sounds so annoying

They were more-or-less the exact words when Beer was selected, right?

think it was more along the lines of "warnie told us to"

 

[Energetic]

Poor crowd turnout despite being Australia-South Africa.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Congrats Aus. That was a hiding of note... a steep learning curve

 

[SeamUp]

Boyce showed he had a leg-break. I like

But then I go to look at his stats and he averages high 40's in the 2 most important formats ?

What is the current situation with Australian spinners ?

Is Lyon and O'Keefe at such another level to the rest or does someone like Boyce/others have enough potential down the line to push them ?

 

[Daemon]

It's Lyon, daylight and the rest are not worth mentioning just yet.

 

[SeamUp]

It's Lyon, daylight and the rest are not worth mentioning just yet.

And I still see plenty giving Lyon stick.

Agar, Ahmed, Holland, Doherty have all been tried and tested recently. Some still young enough to come again I suppose but Boyce looked like he could offer far more than those 4 in time possibly.

 

[Dan]

Boyce came on the scene very young and utterly sucked for his first few years. Now he only somewhat sucks at FC cricket, while randomly bossing it in T20 for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

 

[Daemon]

Cribb just itching to mention Turner atm

 

[grecian]

Has Agar been dropped for Turner in this current match for South Australia?

Western Australia. And it looks like it.

 

[grecian]

Western Australia. And it looks like it.

Oh sorry, you all look alike to me. Pretty quick slump from that first Test.

 

[SeamUp]

May see Merchant today. Seen 1 or 2 glimpses of Big Bash games at the venue but can't remember much about the field dynamics or the pitch though.

All bronzed, tall, tough, buff and handsome, us - so I can understand the confusion...

 

[Spikey]

[anil1405]
