This tour has been a train wreck, naming the squad for Australia before a England series that starts at home, are the selectors mad? Stead coming out and saying Santner is a match winner for us - in limited overs yes, he is outstanding. In tests he is complete garbage. In the first test in Sri Lanka earlier this year he was pathetic, couldnt bat there either. We swapped him out for Somerville who was way better in the 2nd test and even contributed great lower order runs. absolutely unbelievable Ajaz Patel and Somerville were not included - especially since Somerville has experience playing in Aus and is much taller and gets good bounce and even Patel as he bowls good line and length pretty much every ball. Holding off Lockie Ferguson (the one guy who can consistently bowl 145+) till the 1st test in Perth when its 40 degrees and we are bowling first - injured after 11 overs. Why didnt he debut in the meaningless England home series ? and then having Trent Boult injured for Perth who has one of the best stats in the world in pink ball tests.
I don't even want to get into the batting, KW what the f*** was that yesterday? tbf he is out of form despite his 100 in Hamilton where he was dropped 3 times. I have no problem with him though, probably our best ever batter and has been carrying our batting since the world cup. Hes probably fed up walking out the score 5/1 every innings after having to field for 100+ overs. Winning the toss and bowling in Australia was just the icing on the cake - never bowl first in Australia unless you are South Africa and playing in Hobart where its overcast and cold for the whole game!
Anyone know how we can import Rabada and Bumrah? and some batters
