Pick your Australian selectors

[Craig]

he sounded alright when he did a bit of commentary on abc during the perth test, he always crossed me as someoen who'd taken one too many hits to the head the way he spoke, but he was quite insightful



that might be just on tour, or do the selectors go on tour nowadays



waste of time, just shoehorn in the next battery of pacemen and they should be right in a couple of years, i dare say most of them should turn out better than lee

Usually one goes for the whole tour or one for half and another one replaces him. However, I do know that Merv Hughes was in India.

might have had more to do with a good curry then the australian team, i still can't believe he's a selector.

i heard he got mike hussey out twice in the perth nets before the 1st test, still in form, COMEBACK

I think the term which applies to Lee is 'regression toward the mean'. He had one good year, good on him. Doesn't change the fact he'll likely go down as the worst Test bowler to take 300+ wickets.

Harbhajan Singh.

yeah but harbhajan has had more standout individual performances as evidenced by their best innings bowling figures, having said that, harbhajan hasn't come close to that in a while

There was an article a while ago which showed that Harbhajan had only a couple or so 5 wicket hauls on 5th day pitches. This is unacceptable for a spinner, especially one who plays half his games in India, even giving some leeway for the fact that Indian pitches are holding together better nowadays compared to the 90s.

depends how you read the stats, how many tests have a 5th day ?
