Australia V Sri Lanka - 1st Test - Hobart - December 14th

[Phantom Gossiper]

If I was Robbie Quiney I would be confused and dissappointed
He was good enough a few weeks ago to play in front of Hughes
He is dismissed 3 times cheaply against arguably the best attack in the world
After 2 games he dosent get a second chance
Im thinking he got a raw deal
But having said that, I dont think he is good enough at Test Level

Well there you go then, the selectors don't either. Mystery solved.

[Q.]

So, what's it paying for Phil Hughes' first dismissal to be an edge to the slips?

When you get picked to play tests and play against the best, you have to perform from the word go pretty much and he got a pair here in Adelaide.

You've got it wrong Q, he's modified his technique. It's going to Gully.

The shopkeeper sold the kid a Snickers chocolate

If I had time I could post about 100 + Test Cricketers who have had good Test Careers after failing early in their careers

Should we have sacked Don Bradman after 1 Test ?

Should we have sacked Don Bradman after 1 Test ?

In the words of Paul Kelly:

♫ In Bradman's first test he went for 18 and for 1. They dropped him like a gun ♫

What about players who had good starts but were dropped and never reconsidered after a dry spell?

Yeah Yeah

Quiney - 55 FC matches, 7x100s, ave 36.48..

.. pretty sure Gooch would've had a better FC record before his debut to justify selection

Im a Robbie Quiney fan
BUT
How does a 30 year old with a modest First Class record get selected in the first place ?

How they picked Robbie was derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
How they dropped Robbie was derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

How does Fab Phil Hughes feel ?
A couple of failures in the First Test and ?

There is some talk that Quiney was picked for the SA series to protect Hughes from their world class fast bowlers and let him start and build confidence against SL.

On a raging greentop in Hobart. Okay.

shaun marsh played too much test cricket with his average first class record

[Jim05]

I see Scott Henry made an unbeaten 207 opening the batting against the Lankans, not a bad effort for a laf who has only played a handfull of first class matches

It wont be a green top its not a shield match with 6 points up for grabs.
Will be a road to last 5 days and get maximum income.

Bring Khawaja in as an all rounder after yesterday's performance
