George Bradley Hogg quits international cricket

[stan]

you people are all very hard on cullen (pup). if the SA batsman made more runs then cullen would have more of a target to bowl at.

No, he's just not good enough at the moment. A red cap doesn't make you a cricketer you are not. McGain the better bet at the moment.

Agreed. A red cap tells that you little more than a District player.

I'm sorry, but would I be the only one extremely pi$$ed to see Bryce McGain in the national SQUAD, whether or not he played...
Either blood the youngsters (i.e. Cullen, Doherty, Hauritz), or don't bother with a front line spinner, and use M Clarke or Symonds/D Hussey (which ever one plays).

Whats wrong with McGain?

Doherty - not even close to consideration.
Hauritz - couldnt consistantly get any sideways movement on the ball even if the pitch was on a 45 degree slope.
Cullen - shouldn't be in the Redbacks team, let alone the national team.

McGain deserves his chance if he gets it. Had a very good season.

Probably would've thrown Beau Casson in as my next roughie, and now look at the baggygreen web page...
F$^% I could've sounded really clever then...
