I guess this is a different announcement that the head of selectors??? Because surely it will be either Tom Moody for the full time, and Rod Marsh for the head of selectors. My tip.....

if it's full time selector being picked it's the head of selectors. It goes:

Full time selector (today)
Captain (Done)
Coach (In the process of being picked)
Part time selector (In the process of being picked)
Part time selector (In the process of being picked)

Tom Moody is in SA currently so I guess it's not him. He's going for the coaching job anyway iirc. The coach is the last one picked too iirc

Wally Edwards has been named the new chairman of CA, was that Jack Clarke's job?? Edwards, now there is one horrible test batsman, looked like a tailender when he opened for Australia.

Bit left field, but Inverarity certainly is well respected. Would have preferred someone with a bit more International experience and less time out of the game myself, but we'll see if anything changes for the better.

well it's not really left field. i mean it's not a former bangladeshi club cricketer traveller is it? i guess if you were expecting a rent-a-quote like dean jones and geoff lawson it might be but surely no-one from on here was hoping for that. people who leave comments on foxsports sure.

If he brings an old-school merit-based approach to selection, then I'm fine. Don't really mind the lack of Test experience, lots of FC experience is more than good enough.

It's only "left-field" because he isn't a high profile figure, and that shouldn't have been relevant anyway.

these ****s are gonna be so mad when greg mail gets a part time selector role.


but really, this desire - almost obsession - for test experience and plenty of it is just beyond me. surely it's just about on the bottom of the list for all things a selector needs. Communication and the ability to you know use common sense being the top. i mean i'm pretty confident i could do a better job as a selector than andrew symonds......
