Must admit I'm pleasantly suprised how well John Inverarity has done as chairman of selectors since taking over the role for CA.
Every time I hear/watch him speak I can't help but be impressed with how across he is the Australian game - a real student of the game. Seemingly a very astute watcher of the game; he sights good examples (that aren't numerical) as to why people should be there. His knowledge of Australian domestic cricket and speifically who is involved in it has been very impressive.
Hats off to Marsh and Bichel for their involvement too - not many panels would have had the guts to go for Pattinson or recall a Hilfenhaus or Hogg.
Results on George Bailey yet to be seen but my gut feel is he will be outstanding, his ability as a captain and batsman will suprise a few.
Congrats on a job well done so far - next Test is what to do with Mike Hussey IMO.
