He looked every inch a test cricket especially given the standard of attack Agarwal was facing. Who was the last Australian test debutant to look that good on debut.

Both are idiots. The Ranji Trophy runs through there domestic season with the IPL played at the end. In fact it's setup the way our domestic comp used to be.

O’Keeffe’s no idiot. He might have a quirky sense of humour & different laugh but anyone that has listened to him enough talk cricket, knows he’s very well read on the game.

I also struggle to understand how the Perth wicket didn't get a better rating than the MCG.

It’s all about the $$$$ especially these days.

Why do selectors all of a sudden think blokes will perform better at test level than they have at shield cricket.

Because 30 years ago a few selectors plucked Ian Healy, Steve Waugh and Mark Taylor from nowhere and they had a bit of success. It hasnt happened since but it doesnt stop the selectors from trying to be nostra fn dameous. In 100 years of cricket I dont think there has been too many to average more in Test cricket than Shiled cricket yet these muppets think they will buck that trend

Crash Craddock reckons less than 3% of cricketers average more at test level than they did at shield level.

I’m not sure what his exact criteria was around games played etc
