Looks like we'll have more opportunities to see just how shit Maxwell is.. Seriously how on earth does this bogan keep getting chances? He can't bowl and he can't bat.

 

[Horrie Is God]

I'd say Maxwell's last innings 9 kept him in the squad..

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I'd say Maxwell is John Invalid's love child.

 

[Timbo]

Can you even call him an all-rounder? 0 wickets in 7 ODIs.

 

[Hutty1986]

I'd say Maxwell's last innings 9 kept him in the squad..

To be fair, it was incredibly composed.

 

[unbreaK]

To be fair, it was incredibly composed.

It had nothing on Bobby's 9, now that was a masterpiece.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lets cut out the middlemen and give Australia what we want. Bob Niney back in the side.

As captain.

 

[IanG]

9 must be Bob Inverarity's lucky number

 

[Dutchy]

1. Warner
2. Finch
3. Hughes
4. Clarke
5. Bailey
6. Wade
7. Henriques
8. Starc
9. Johnson
10. McKay/Cutting
11. Doherty

Play him at 9 as well.

 

[JW]

F**king Maxwell again.

The thing that shits me with these selectors (and the last lot) is that they give the nuffies so many chances that when they eventually turn in a decent effort (which is bound to happen for anyone) they use it to vindicate their decision and keep them in the team indefinitely.

Shitchell is a perfect example. Marcus North another.

And yet you see how guys like Khawaja get treated...

As soon as the Excitement Package scores more than 9, he'll be in the team for good.

 

[Squeezer]

If we are going to have Quiney back in the side as skipper and batting at 9, why not have him keep wicket as well? He kept wicket for Shane Warnes jerks, so that should be good enough.

And the other bonus is that we can have Hughes keep wicket when Bobby decides its time to send down his gentle medium pacers..

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Niney's test career showed us that he was a better bowler than batsman, and by f**k he was a shit bowler.


On the squad, interesting that Finch is back. Cover for Clarke or will HAHA or Warner be rotated? Why drop Hussey and retain clueless Bailey?
Henriques deserves a few more games, Maxwell doesn't.

You'd expect the Windies to play the fast bowlers better than the Lankans do, especially with the likes of Gayle and Pollard playing big wank.

Could be a good if meaningless series.

 

[snoozer]

I don't know about the rest of you clowns but this ongoing selection farce has just about killed any interest in the shorter form of the game.

I really couldn't care less any more.

 

[some11]

Hey, at least it's an informed farce.

 

[Xfactor1979]

You left out a couple of meaningless t20 internationals between Aus and SL

Australia seem to play Sri Lanka an awful lot in Australia


The big tough toughguys Need some minnow bashing?

 

[Twizzle]

imagine if Oozie got as many chance as Mawwell

he really must have something on the fossil

if you look at his action and seam rotation he pretty just bowls toppies or arm balls which means the ball doesn't spin

seriously, I just dont get it

 

[TheParraboy]

under Clarkes captaincy (13 ODIs) Cullum Ferguson averages 59.00, S/R 86.76

We talk about how khawaja is treated, but how about this bloke???

 

[Earl]

To be fair, he hasn't really recaptured the same form since he was injured a few seasons back.

 

[Kiwi]

Quick question

What do these two have over the selectors Moises Henriques and Glenn Maxwell??????? I'll be farked if I can see why they are selected.
