Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2465757, member: 1764"] Because he hasn't earned it. Hasn't done the hard yards. What is it, his 2nd first class season? I have the same criticism of the free ride Pat Cummins and James Pattinson have had. The baggy green is prestigious. You don't just hand one out to the latest flash in the pan. The biggest issue we have now is that we've got Johnson and Bird who have performed well enough this test to make it impossible to drop them. We have Siddle who IMO was the best bowler in Hobart, and who already has had a rest this year, and then you have Starc who was outstanding in the 2nd innings at Hobart needing to come back into the team. There's nobody you can drop...errr...rotate out. So you have a guy like Starc fresh off a 5-for who either doesn't get a look in, or you "drop" the likely MOTM Johnson, the excellent debut of Bird, or the proven performer in Siddle... the rotation policy has put the selectors over a barrel.
