On the Marsh selection, perhaps a National Selector nicknamed "Bacchus" likes the surname!!!
Quite a few State players will be phoning Brad Hodge for some sympathy and advice after the announcement of this squad. I am not a Hughes fan, but he is in form and did well in South Africa last time. There are several others who should feel a bit disgruntled by the Doolan and Marsh selections.
In particular I think North and Hughes do OK against extreme pace. White has also done OK in domestic but he is perceived to have a weakness against pace bowling that perhaps leaves him on the outer.
Maybe we have a youth policy, or too many 30+ in the side already for North to get a gig!
Is it a horses for courses policy, I am not sure, but if it is I am all for it!
