QLD Losing In The Selection Room

Exactly, his rep record is poor but unless we leave ourselves with either a very long tail or Perry as our 5th bowler, he pretty much has to play. At least until someone like Shri makes regular contributions.

 

Lordeman is well entrenched in reggies and who the **** is kickatinalong?
Another reggies option. I mean, come on. Devonshire's a far better bowler than Robertson.

 

Yeah. Hallett would make way for the extra bowler if it was used. Then you might gamble on Perry as ya 5th bowler given the supposed better bowling amongst the top 4 bowlers. But, the thing is, Hallett bowled pretty well this series.

 

Ok. Yeah, picking someone that hasn't played firsts for seasons would be ridiculous to the extreme.

 

Robertson's a batting allrounder though. He averages 36 with the pill in ALC for the season. How on earth is that a better option than Devonshire?

 

I mean, I could see an argument for errors in my selecting but not the ones that are being brought up. Very odd.

 

Nah. That's not the right way to go about it. Perry's had outstanding form for seasons on end and continually fails to deliver. When that happens, changes need to be made.

 

Robertson wouldn't make the firsts team at the Vipers. You're on drugs if you rate him as a better option at 7 than Devonshire.

 

Nah. Ya see, that argument's stupid. Gee's continually failed. I felt the need to give Perry one last series to breakthrough in his prefferred position. He failed and now we'll more onto Retzel, in all likelyhood. Man and Gee both average 25 in origin from about 10 games each. Retzel averages 33 from 5. He's the next in line and would allow us to run with a much better balanced side with Manera at 3 and Downpipes at 5.
