Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 2783946, member: 8272"] Slater's Test career ended in 2001- same year Maher scored 1142 runs in the Shield. So he could have easily replaced him. Elliot played 17 Tests across 8 years why would you pick him? Langer and Hayden came together in 2001 on the Ashes trip for the last Test- again either one could have been replaced Langer had played eight Tests in six year and Hayden average 21 after seven Tests. Hussey only opened in his first Test so wasn't even in Maher's position. Taylor was captain so he wasn't going anywhere. Other than Taylor any one of those could have gone without and they picked Maher around that 2000/2001 period when he was the form SS batsman and Queensland had won three Shields in a row. They didn't and obviously with all of those bar Elliot it worked out very well. That's the roll of the dice. [/QUOTE]
