The selectors shafted Boland again ... and it could bite them on the butt!

Worse than pathetic. Words fail me how insipid they were today. Schooled by Bangla. Some of this blokes should never play tests again.

I think you mean "Some of these blokes should have never played tests."

I'm sure that the selectors have some overall plan, strategy or vision but I'm buggered if I can get an inkling of what it is $:-\$

I think a 15 test season requires player management, but I'd suggest what has been offered isn't the solution.

No matter what you do, you must strive to retain a winning culture.

If Boland was NBG, then we should not have played Starc and Hazelwood either, we should have played some young blokes for whom an Aussie Test spot really means something more than just another chore. That kid bowling for Bangladesh showed what it meant to him!

The NSW biased commentary is sickening, with a barren onefa they are hailing Hazelwood the saviour, with the Bangladesh score at 2/180 odd! Bangladesh could just as easily turn the remainder of the rest into 3 days of T20 and stay in a position of strength!
