<p>Just about anyone else of the other possible 15/16/17 squadees would have looked equally as stupid as Doherty or Mozz. Maybe Nic Maddinson and Shaun Marsh would have looked more stupid in that list than just about any other PONI.</p>
<p>I had to laugh at Moises having a good 5 matches or so and getting a spot in test cricket straight away. It seems like every selector since he was 17 has been panting for him to show some form, any at all no matter how briefly, just so that could pick him.</p>

An all-rounder who isn't worth bowling isn't an all-rounder though, and I have my doubts about Maxwell and Smith. Would take S'OK and Boiled over either (probably both, actually), but I guess the latter is injured, and the former doesn't score enough runs to bat 7. He might have been the best spinning option, full stop, mind you. Lyon's batting is his biggest weakness.</p>

<p>Fairly predictable list. Selectors seem hell-bent on having an all-rounder in there, with the fringe allrounders (Maxwell, Henriques, Smith) beating out fringe specialists like Cutting, Hastings, O'Keefe, Doolan, Ferguson, Bailey, Quiney. Klutz perhaps a bit unlucky that they're only taking 1 keeper.</p>Tony Tea commented on 'INDIAN AUTUMN'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef017d409ed470970c2013-01-31T01:27:37Z2013-01-31T01:35:35ZTony Teahttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/cricket/Hughes (at SA) May I make a shocking confession?

<p>May I make a shocking confession? I like Smith.</p>
<p>Moist was a monty after the rave reviews for his bowling in the Hobart F50 against the Shrees.</p>
<p>Pedro Cerrano needs to learn to deal with variety bowling. Clearing the leg and hitting through the line if fine against scrubby one-dimensional bowling, but slop against Test bowlers. He needs to better read the ball out of the bowler's hand.</p>m0nty commented on 'INDIAN AUTUMN'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef017d409eadc3970c2013-01-31T01:08:53Z2013-01-31T01:35:35Zm0ntyWhat's that then...
