    So when the undeserving Abbott, allegedly a frontline bowler, has to be replaced in the Test squad, he's replaced by someone who averages about 4
    overs a game in the Shield. Eh?


    alvey
    Completely flummoxed over how this can happen...

    NSP (New South Portugal) conspiracy? They are desperate for an
    all-rounder in the side so are looking at Henriques or Green. I assume
    that with Starc back they feel their front-line bowler stocks in the
    squad are OK, as are their NSV stocks, so an all-rounder is more important

    Strike 1: Starc & Green were already in the squad.

    I'm suggesting he is in a squad of 17 to give some flexibility if

    The obvious advantage of that is one less Q'lander in the Test side.

    Here's another one for you Chuck... With our openers falling like pins in a bowling alley there's been much chat about who's going to do it. From
    within the current team LooseBusChange & Paine are the only two names I've heard suggested. This got me thinking (gasp!), *all* the Test players I can recall during my time who have batted out of their usual position have been Others. Oto that'd be, Watto, Tom Moody, Wayne Phillips (SA), Greg Ritchie, Boonie & Greg Blewett.

    Given the huge numbers of Poos who have been handed a BG in my time there *must* be some who have been shuffled. Forked if I can think of even one though. Can you name any?

    I can. Here's the relevant quote:

    'Starc was on Sunday withdrawn from Australia's squad for the final
    two Twenty20 internationals against India because of a family illness.
    Cricket Australia did not guarantee publicly that he would be
    available for the start of the Test series, which begins in Adelaide
    on December 17.

    'oThere is nothing in the world more important than family and in this
    case Mitch is no exception,o Australian coach Justin Langer said.

    'oWe will give Mitch all the time he needs and welcome him back into
    the squad with open arms whenever he feels the time is right for him
    and his family.o'

    Cheers,

    Mike

    time..".

    Oh OK you wanted it limited to this now.

    Aside from that, Syd Gregory's last Test was in 1909, not only many
    generations before I popped out, but also when there were only 2.5 States
    in the Shield.

    So when you said "Yes" [I can name someone] that was actually a fib.

    Why are you wanting this information btw?

    Really? Can you really not see the point?

    No I can't

    Ok. The point is Chuck that it's
    harder to shift a Poo to an unfriendly and probably average-denting batting >> position i.e. opening, than it is to get Trump to admit defeat.

    OK it is paranoia on your part. Enough said
    BOO NSV member under your desk


    So you can't name a single Poo then. Goodo.

    Steve Smith next

    Has batted 3-6, ie the m-o, since his hilariously unwarranted selection as
    a leggie.

    More, much more, a case of you being unable to HANDLE THE TRUTH Chuck...

    Thank-you Thank-you Alvey for opening my eyes to the huge NSV conspiracy
    in Australian cricket, I've seen the light and had an episiotomy (should
    have had an epiphany much less painful).

    Now Alvey you go and have a cup of tea, a Bex and a good lie down while adjusting your tin-foil hat

    Yep, this is all you have Chuck. Tired cliches. Bex was banned in the
    1970's, which is where you still are...

    True true, it is all I have as I've been devastated by your paranoia

    Bex was banned in the
    1970's,

    Really WOW thanks for the update

    that with Starc back they feel their front-line bowler stocks in the
    squad are OK, as are their NSV stocks, so an all-rounder is more important

    ..the meaning of this strange behaviour, Duran Duran c1985?

    why not mitchel marsh? is he still quarantined in dubai, or has he
    been punching walls again? he played vs england in september.
    his test figures arnt great but surely hes a giant compared to moses.
