Richardson might be good in a few years, but how about making him earn a test squad inclusions first? Half a dozen first class games, no first class 5w haul and an economy over 3rpo.. i'm just shaking my head in disbelief.

Surely the SAF pitches would be to his absolute liking!!
Bancroft, Holland and Richardson very lucky
The way Philander has been moving the ball in the first two Tests against India would indicate Sayers would have loved conditions over there.
Plus Indian pace bowlers have been taking wickets also, that never happens!!!!

Also no specialist back up keeper.
Agree, don't rate this bloke at all...what the hell has Sayers done wrong? Bird was shit in the Melbourne test also.
Shield :
Bird 25 @ 16 @ 2.69RPO
Sayers 17 @ 24 @ 2.82RPO

This decision makes sense, if Agar was to play it would have been with Lyon at the expense of M Marsh most likely or maybe Cummins. As Agar can bat a this favoured him.
No way they will ever need to play 2 Spinners in SA & Hollond is better than Agar I think we could all agree on. Hollond will only play if Lyon's injured.

Did you see the last test v India in SA? Spinners paradise.

Under this regime, Terry Alderman would never have got one shot, let alone two shots at a Test career.

Not sure which selectors wife he has screwed, but if a no name in Richardson gets selected ahead of him without even so much as a phone call to explain why- then the writing is on the wall.

I have a feeling Boof has a fair bit to do with this one, in a lot of his interviews he talks about ability to bowl 140+.
Sad but Im now hoping for a few injuries so he has to be flown over there.

Reward for effort, all the selectors roll with that one.
Not seeing any reward for sayers. Shabby treatment and I expect a lot better from the chairman of selectors.
