SOK 6-82, Aus A bowling India A out for 301. The guy just keeps on taking wickets.

He could get 11 wickets and still not get a run for the Aussie team

SOK>>>>>Lyon

 

[WaznTheGreat]

The great Matt Wade is in this game

What a disappointment Khawaja is,bats with the elegance of Justin Henin but can never realise his talent

 

[vvvrulz]

Isn't SOK a massive douche?
I remember asking here why he isn't getting picked and someone pointed that out.
He's easily better than Lyon though.

 

[Twizzle]

They should be selected on ability not personality

Has been chosen to captain NSW in recent years, also was on the UAE tour last year (picked for 1 test). Not really signs of being a douch (may have been when younger, but don't most of us mature as we get older?)

If you go on douch alone, blokes like Warner wouldn't be no where near international sides

All politics with SOK Im afraid

Be interesting if Clarke retires after these ashes, and Lyon doesn't deliver in a few tests, if Smithy with push for SOK to get a run

I'm not sure his one-handed backhand is as good, though

Who has Maddinson blown to get a gig? Fair dinkum what is he doing there!

 

[Pete Cash]

Doesn't Smith hate SOK as well ? There is an old expression that goes if you run into an arsehole you've just run into an arsehole but if you are running into arseholes every day then you are the arsehole.

Everyone who has met SOK seems to dislike him ???? That is a bit odd.

My issue with SOK is his bowling whilst it is good below test level I just can't see it working at test level. Does not spin it enough. It works at Shield level/ A Level as batsmen have less patience but get a test bat and they will pick him off at 2-3 an over and be content with that.

 

[Red Bear]

They talked up Joe burns getting valuable sub continent experience when he wasn't picked for the Ashes squad then dont pick him for the first match. Ludicrous

Isn't he still injured? Definitely was a few weeks ago.

yeah, and Lyon is so much better :roll:

 

[Helmet Man]

poor SOK. Is there any specific reasons to why he isn't picked for the Aussie test team?

 

[Timbo]

Jesus Christ you are an imbecile Locky.

"my problem with O'Keefe is that he consistently takes heaps of wickets at a great rate at the level directly below test level, but he clearly won't be a good test player, because reasons."

What you know about cricket could be written on the back of a stamp.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

If anyone's playing for Australia in the future from this lot its Marcus Stoinis,his batting is getting better and better since he started to bat in the top 3 for Plodtoria.

 

[Mr Spock!]

I like this talk of dropping Lyon.

He seems to grab a bagful when that happens.

Fact is he's one of our best off spinners ever.

Though SOK should have been picked over Beer, X and the Big Show as well as been on the Ashes.
