So now your out of form argument has been put to bed you are moving onto a new reason to axe him? Is 36 to old to play in a world cup if you are in form still?

Good points raised
He will be 36 next World Cup and perhaps by the age probability he will be too old
Perhaps AU should raise a younger batsman for Test Cricket

However
One thing you and every other person must take note of
Selections for
20/20
50 overs
Tests
should all be assessed on the individuals performances in those brands of cricket
EXAMPLES
HUSSEY is a very good 50 over cricketer and deserves to play them, but his test form of late woeful[until that last dig]
CLARKE is star Test batsman who struggles at 20/20
BRACKEN is a very good 50 over bowler but is too friendly at Test level as a bowler
HOGG was star spinner in 50 over games, but struggles in longer versions of the game

And perhaps the biggest example at domestic level
Matthew ELLIOTT was a superstar 50 over batsman for SA and was a repeated failure in shield games


There are many more examples
