Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3202955, member: 9651"] Because India wanted warm up games before the test series and CA wanted T20 money. This was the compromise. In my opinion it's one of the better Aus A sides we've rolled out and the Indians certainly have a good XI in both formats. I agree that a spinner should have been picked but with Swepson and Zampa playing T20, the other option was Lyon (also now called up to t20 side). I think the Aus selectors weren't keen on giving India an early look at Lyon before the tests and throwing someone like Pope in against Rahane, Pujara etc would have been a baptism of fire. Maybe they could have gone Holland, who knows. The mitigating factor so far has been injuries. We can't just suddenly write to the ICC and say we don't want the t20i's to be recognised as international games because we're missing Starc, Warner, Finch, M Marsh, Agar etc. [/QUOTE]
