has anyone else found that selectorsw for some countries are a bunch of strange ****?
i mean, i dont umnderstand on what basis the english ones choose their players, itd be easy to assume that they pick the best people from the county cricket but ius that really so, after years of consistent great performances by wagh and knight [warwicks openers] they have barely got a look in the test side and on the other side people like trescothick, hussain never broillainat but went on to the english side[albeit were succeses]
and the case of bicknell is just downright stupid, i mean when gough and caddick were at their prime some years ago they never gave anyone else a chance i.e. saggers and bicknell and recently out of nowhere pacemen i.e jones, anderson have been picked just after a few solid games and results.
and how the hell do india adn pakistan choose theirs, i mean the ranji trophy has no meaning to thge indian selectors, so how did they fingd kaif and sehwag and yuvraj etc...and on what basis did they select tendulkar when he was 16, the same goes with pakistan for raza and afridi...
i mean they were taking some big chances on unleashing afridi and tendu;lkar on the world at sucha young age..
