Possibly, but having 2 of the best domestic batsmen in the world isn't bad. Arguably better than quite a few Test batsmen.
I'm a pretty firm believer that you don't really know what someone's made of until they play tests. Still, it's true when everyone goes on about this being a domestic competition and all.

Why is Ganguly not in the FirstX1? Do you rate Key and Ramps better? I saw what you did there with Fatel
Yh, im still ranting about Ganguly's ommision from the team. He has the stats to back him up and will give international experiance to that lineup.
Symonds chucks down pies with a tiny amount of off break. He's dreadful. Would rather him bowl seam, which he can actually do pretty well itbt.
