the players u mentioned may have had 1 or 2 chances, but i think kaspa has been called into the team on more than once or twice, seriously, if u think he is a good bolwer and deserves a spot thats great but i feel there are a lot of better bolwers more than capable of doing the job not that they will get a chance, but hey good luck to the acb selectors, and in 10 years time when 4 or 5 young guns have missed there opportunity there wont be too many ppl to blame cause we luv bringing back the pensioners.
Name a time in the last few years where the selectors have made a mistake that has put Australian cricket in a downward spiral?
Look, an injection of youth is cute, but you pick the best avaliable player
at the time for the position in the squad.
If Kasper is that man (which is clearly visible to all, any arguements?), so be it.
He has been the best bowler on the domestic curicuit for at least the past 5 summers running, bar none - he's a quality bowler and has done some fantastic things for Australia - need we forget India and England, 1997?
He deserves his selection and those of you who knock it do it at your own peril.
As for Bracken, he's complete garbage.
Tait is far more likely for the longer version - hes quick and exciting, but he's still far too wayward for one day cricket.
Rofe doesn't play one day cricket for SA, let alone Australia!
If any bloke is unlucky, it's Damien Wright.
Yet I fail to see a better fast bowler on the domestic circuit than Kasper.
By your theory, when McGrath and Warne are avliable for selection, do we discard them both because they are old?
