Poor Cheaty.
I don't think he deserves the treatment he's received. I guess someone's made up their mind that he's a one-day player - and a one-day player he will remain.
Does he own an Old English Sheepdog? If so, that's qualification enough. Can we have him?

What makes anyone think Hodge can do any better than Katich or Clarke?Josh said:
And Bracken was put in because the selectors pick a bowler in the 12 99% of the time during the Aussie summer. That and the fact that they are not particularly worried about Katich and Clarke's form now, are they?

yea, but what i'm saying he's been in international cricket for a year had his high's & low's & now that he know's what his technical difficulties are he could use video's etc to try and correct it & counter any other good attacks that he will face in the future.marc71178 said:

Does hodge bowl too?Josh said:
Can someone please explain to me why the Aus selectors are no longer using ODIs to "blood" players for tests.
Hodge is a fine one-day player at domestic level AND is obviously in front of Martyn when it comes to test selection at present.
To me, it appears irrelevant to the selectors how many runs Martyn scores in ODIs with regards to potential test selection.
That being the case, give Hodge a go in this form of the game at least.
The selectors, despite including Hodge in most test squads, are obviously uncertain as to Hodge's ability to perform at the highest level as there have been ample opportunities to select him before now. That being the case, they should either select him for tests now, ease him into it via ODIs or discard him completely.

Probably something to do with the World Cup in two years time, usually most countries only blood Test players in ODIs, in the first two years after a World Cup.social said:

I wouldn't call them handy, there more last option stuff, before you give the keeper a bowl.Josh said:

Personally, I'd say they're very underused, a la Vaughan. Handy is a very appropriate term.chaminda_00 said:
