Those suggesting Ferguson must be smoking crack and comparisons to Warne and McGrath are just losing the plot. Ferguson has been playing First Class cricket 6 years now with fairly unspectacular performances unlike Warne and McGrath who were quite new on the scene when picked for Test Cricket and both showed quite rapid development. Let's also realise that wrist spinners generally develop later than batsmen and fast bowlers in the case of Warne.
Callum Ferguson didn't play First Class cricket in 2009/2010 due to his knee injury but consider Khwaja made 698 runs from 7 matches averaging 63, Smith 772 runs at 77 from 8 matches and Hughes 953 from 10 averaging 56 as examples of players who would be so far ahead of Ferguson in the pecking order. His team mate Michael Klinger made 886 runs at 63. Marcus North as a comparison made 294 runs from 7 matches at 24.5 but that's enough to keep him in the test team :sarcasm:
In 2008/2009 Ferguson scored 644 runs at 43 from 9 games, solid but not spectacular when lined up against SA team mates like David Harris 813 runs at 45, Graham Manou 647 runs at 46 and Michael Klinger who made 1203 runs at 71. I don't hear too many nominating these guys for the Test team.
In 2007/2008 Ferguson made 498 runs from 8 matches averaging 33.
