Boof and The Ashes

[Blue Boy]

Do you think with the runs Boofer is making in England @ the moment and with his Last Summers results that the selectors stuffed up by not taking him to England for The Ashes this time Last Year.

I know he is only one player but he could of steadied them up a bit - could of we actually not lost them in the first place ???

No - Boof was moved on at the right time. He struggled massively against England in Australia in his 1st Ashes series. Not saying he wouldnt have done well, but I reckon they made the right decision. I believe not playing Macgill at Trent Bridge and Manchester was the decision that cost us a fair bit.

We were about 5 metres from being 2-0 up after Edgbaston. The ball before Kaspa got out, Brett Lee hammered a full toss straight to deep cover, rather than hitting it for 4. I dont think England would have recovered from there!!!

No doubt that Boof has been playing superb cricket of late. Not only batting, but popping up for the occasional crucial wicket.

Unfortunately his international career is well and truely over. No matter what he does and how well he plays now in domestic & county cricket, he will never be selected to play for Australia again. It is an unfortunate travesty!!
