Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3416276, member: 9881"] I’m not saying every single one of them deserve to play this minute. But let’s say tomorrow Head gets injured or Khawaja or anyone of our batters. Those blokes are up. It’s Henry Hunt or Glenn Maxwell not to mention 4/7 of those blokes already have a baggy green sitting in there bags or back at home. These blokes are the next ones up and to take 3 of them, 2 of which I believe are the most promising and arguably highest performing batters in shield and suggest it’s just handing away a spot is on the ludicrous side. And if you are of the belief that the next 3 up aren’t up to the standard than we have more issues than the sanctity and privilege of the baggy green. I don’t think all 7 should find themselves in the test side that was just a group who are there abouts, quite honestly if we found Marsh, Renshaw and Maddinson in the side I would be furious unless they put there hand up a bit more but they are thereabouts. We are talking about 3 blokes getting a run in the next 12 months (Maxwell, Hardie, Phillipe). There are countries that go through 10 Bateman in one 3 game series. I personally don’t think that is negating it’s status as a privilege. There my next 3 up and obviously Henry Hunt is the next option at opener. I can’t see how these blokes are 1 injury away yet it would be such a disrespect to the baggy green for them to get a game as a reward if the opportunity and the tactics were right behind there selection. They have earned the right for mine to have a game. Maxwell has been through dominating for this country in other formats all around the world and proved successful for Australia when he was in the red ball team. Whilst Phillipe and Hardie just won the Sheffield Shield being 2 of the most instrumental pieces to that whilst essentially being 2 optimal pieces to Australia’s future in red ball cricket. I’m happy to agree with you to an extent but for these 3 I am very against your opinion when our batting lineup is not firing how I would like it to be over the last 18 months. [/QUOTE]
