Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3582999, member: 9052"] Yep and I think it needs to be noted that the Australian team doesn't need to be like domestic / franchise teams, where they get introduced for development and experience. Not every player is going to be Punter or Pup and needing to be in the team at 20 because they're a generational talent. Green looks the next most promising from that generational talent perspective, but I don't think 30yr old players need to be thrown on the scrap heap because of their age. Hussey didn't debut until he was 30 and he came in with 15k shield runs (or whatever ridiculous stat is was). Voges came into the setup into his 30's and Marsh is having a resurgence at 32. If the best player for the situation is beyond 30 then I'd prefer they go with him rather than potentially risking the development of a younger player just to get them in. Fraser-McGurk looks to be the next one from a media perspective that will be getting the call ups to get into the Australian team, but I don't think it's necessary to fast track anything and just let him cook down in shield until he's absolutely banging the door down. At the moment he's flogging pace bowlers around in BBL, but if he's playing tests then he needs to get ready for spin in the subcontinent or swing over in England. [/QUOTE]
