Absolute disgrace. Rod Marsh must go. It certainly helps to play for WA if you want to play for Australia. Coulter-Nile and Sayers are the same age, played about the same first class number of matches. Coulter-Nile, 119 first class wickets at 28.97, Chadd Sayers, 140 first class wickets at 24.85.

Sounds like the justification for him is that they need an enforcer to replace Starc and he must be the next quickest?

Wasn't this the same stupid logic SACA had for many years as Chadd dominated grade cricket?

That seems to be the justification in picking Coulter-Nile, that he bowls at 140 km/h or higher. Lehmann was critical of Siddle last year as his pace dropped to between 130 and 135.
Would be a major reason they won't pick Sayers, as he bowls at similar pace to Siddle. Lehmann was quoted as saying you need to be bowling over 140 to play for Australia. Probably why Cummins and Pattinson were pushed up when they were not ready and their bodies could not handle it, just because they bowl fast.
Don't agree with the logic, good batters can handle the pace, it is the bowler who swings the ball both ways that trouble the batters, exactly why Sayers gets so many wickets. Sayers or Bird had to be rewarded for their Shield performances ahead of NCN, that is pretty obvious you would have thought!

Yep surely Glenn McGrath, Richard Hadlee and Courtney Walsh are the only evidence you need to produce to defeat the egotistic attitude.

I have always thought of WA as having had a dream run with test selections for 40 years now. W. Edwards, Valetta, Zoehrer, Hogan, Nicholson, Chris Matthews, Jo Angel and perhaps Brendan Julian and Tom Moody were lucky to play as much test cricket as they did. Even Graeme Wood seemed to be selected a lot more times than he deserved. Now we have the Marsh brothers and Coulter-Nile getting tests.
On the other hand I can't think of too many NSW players who haven't deserved selection.
