Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3211809, member: 9651"] Not quite, I just won't pretend that some of the guys we are picking are good enough. This whole narrative that Paine "deserves to choose when he retires" is complete and utter rubbish - if he's not good enough he should not be playing and he needs to be tapped on the shoulder. Do we not remember what happened when Clarke went to England on his own terms because he wasn't quite ready to retire?.. he got humiliated. I won't waste my time with Lyon because I know you're a fan but he is another that falls in this category of guys we just keep picking despite obviously being out of form. Starc has out performed Lyon (figures wise) in the last 5 straight series and we bang on about how poor he's been and axe him. Lyon gets a free pass, why? For the record I think Patto should be in there and Starc should be dropped, as well as Lyon, I'm simply illustrating the inconsistency and the protected status he has. Head I can somewhat understand because of his age and our obvious lack of middle order batsmen but you can't tell me to pretend there's not another gloveman or spinner out there that wouldn't be worth having a look at.
