a long beau

Ok so let me get this straight.

Shaun tait gets a contract because he has depression.

Ben Hilfenhaus gets a contract because he was good last year.

Doug Bollinger gets a contract because he is from NSWales.

But Petter Sizzle (Siddle) does not because he is Victorian.

Actually that all makes sense.

Now on to the Spinners.

Last year there were 4.

Stuart MacGill who at that stage was slightly fitter and not so much a TV presenter.

Brad Hogg who at that stage was still being called a spinner.

Dan Cullen who at that stage was getting fewer wickets than Brad Hogg.

And Cullen Bailey, who is the second highest paid club cricketer in Australian history behind another leg spinner Adbul Qadir.

This year we have Stuart MacGill, a little older, a little rounder, and a little less interested.

Beau fu©king Casson the man who has played 4 good games in 4 seasons, but moved to the right city.

And…

Oh that’s it.

Australia is only going to use these two this year.

That’s it.

An untried wrist spinner who couldn’t buy a wicket for years, and a 37 year old wine connoisseur with a bung knee.

No place for Bryce McGain, lets check why, oh that is right, he’s Victorian.

The only thing that remains consistent for selectors is that NSWelsh players get picked all the time, and Victorians get the high hard one.www.cricketwithballs.com "Practice Sehwagology and kill the Probots"
