McGrath warned by Trevor Hohns

[Craig]

National Selection Panel Chairman Trevor Hohns has a selection warning or his international career may come to a close. Well that is the impression I got from this article.

I would say McGrath will be picked v Sri Lanka and they will take it from there.

Although I can imigine the outcry if McGrath is suddenly axed, which will mean goodbye Test and ODI career.

 

[Andre]

Personally, I don't see him getting axed. He'll be back.

I reckon it has a lot to do with what the article says, firing him up.
I mean seriously, to axe someone after what is effectively one very short ODI series is harsh, let alone doing it to a champion.

I really want to beleive that.

But this is the same selection panel that axed Michael Bevan from the contracted player list only a few months ago.

THEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED!!!

True..
But its also the same panel that kept Damien Martyn after a long, lean VB series who followed it up with consecutive centuries in Sri Lanka!!

THEY ARE MAGNIFICENT!!

It always comes back to Marto, doesn't it.

Let's see how magnificent they are when they decide Marto's too old, and that won't be too far away.

Because at 32 he's almost pushing up the daisies!

 

[Craig]

Well they seemed to think that with Andy Bichel.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Do I see the Aussies gradually imploding?

 

[Gaijin-san]

Plenty of cover in the age deparment, if you catch my 3-way drift.

What did you think to Northey's barnstorming 6 off 45 balls against Scotland, then?

 

[luckyeddie]

Weren't we told by Dennis Lillee the other week that McGrath was going to come back as the greatest fast bowler the world's ever seen?

Exactly what I was thinking. I was so disappointed, too - he took up a good 15 points in my Fantasy Cricket squad. Bastard.

And Clarke's low 20's FC average so far!

I did notice that, after he had such a good start too! These flat track bullies just fall apart when they face a bit of swing and seam

doubt they'll drop him.....the only reason they dropped bevan was because they felt that there were other batsmen in the side who were good enough to replace him. im not so sure that there are that many bowlers knocking on the door to replace mcgrath, they've already seen how slim that bowling attack looked without him and warne against india.

Is this pre-diuretic Warne?

 

[V Reddy]

I don't think he will continue much longer. With 4 tests coming up in India and with the heat prevailing here, i expect him to breakdown that is if he gets selected for the tour. 34 isn't the age for making a comeback especially for a fast bowler at that .I would love to be proved wrong

Shaun Tait has been called up as mainly cover for Brad Williams.
