Worrying thing is they will now most likely take Agar to South Africa, if they do they are idiots

Unfortunately if Uzman doesn’t get decent runs in sydney he won’t be in that tour, they seem to be keeping Handscomb in the current squad, Maxy will be there as well

Yes it's hard to see on what planet Agar is (at this stage of his career) a Test spinner. If he was good enough to bat at 6 that would be fine, but he's not. And England (presently) have 6 blokes in the 11 who bat left-handed....which makes it even harder. Hopefully in three or four years AJ Nair will be ready.

Agar is another bits and pieces Cricket that the selectors seem to have hard ons for.


We need to find the next Keith Miller ASAP.

I would expect them to rest Starc unless he is 120% pain free

I have no idea who else to play, but i reckon we looked a bit lacking without Starc - he is the heart of our attack

He needs to learn to spin the ball, or become a heap more consistently accurate than he is.

He's not perfect, no. But there's a lot of talent there IMO. And the day will come where we need a spinning all round option in the Subcontinent somewhere. Obviously Maxwell and Head would have the inside running but it never hurts to give your options some experience at the highest level

He's obviously got talent, but his style of orthodox spin doesn't seem to be the type that does super well on the sub-continent. It's ok that he doesn't spin the ball miles and doesn't get a lot of work on the ball, but he's gotta be able to bowl on the spot if that's the case. I'd love him to improve.

El Derp will be furious, all the cops working the SCG today have donated their days pay to the McGrath Foundation for Jane McGrath day
