Quote from: cimm1979 on
When playing predominately right handed batting line-ups (like Englands) the left arm orthodox spinner (AGAR) is helped greatly  by the footmarks of a left arm over the wicket bowler (FAULKNER or STARC).

I'm not sure Lyon will be much good against the English right handers and any footmarks made by the left arm seamers will work more for Swann (against our lefties) than for Lyon against the one lefty they have.

Plus I think Agar was lame and had finger issues in this test.

So, if I was the selector, I would keep Agar  (if fit) and select Faulkner or Starc. Probably Faulkner because I THINK HE'S a competitor , he's smart (he learns) and won't let them off the hook.

He can bat as well but we can't keep hoping the tail will get us out of the crap and it should almost be irrelevant.

And yes, I'd drop Siddle for Bird.

I too would drop Siddle for Bird.
I would pick Fawad Ahmed in place of Agar.
Maybe Agar needs to become a number 6???

Sack Sutherland.

This whole problem is a result of that weak c#%t bending over for the Indians.
Tell em to take their cash and shove it up their ass.

No more champions league trophy prior to a Test Series

Pick a 16 man squad for Test and one day cricket. Proper cricketers, not Glen Maxwell, X Doherty or Clint McKay. Guys who might become champions of the long game.

Fark off the BIG BASH crap.
