Very little wonder now that MJ Clarke sacked himself as a selector.
No place to play, there.
Best stay away from that tawdry, grubby business and just leave it up to the Chairman and the Three Wise Men.
Pup has realised that his precious time is best utilised marshalling the troops he's been given.
So, Bill Bailey doesn't find himself in the touring party for Seth Efreaker.
Fair enough.
On his showing in five consecutive test matches, not up to standard, and probably never will be.
Might as well put the baggy green in a glass case.
In stark constrast, Swampy Marsh will have to bust open the crystal cabinet to retrieve his baggy, having had no use for it for a full two years
You'd imagine the Hughes Kiddie would be rather shitty about being overlooked - yet again.
Done absolutely nothing wrong of late.
Why else?
The bowling department can look after themselves; first picked.
But fark my brown dog, Harold, what in the name of Joisus Christ is FIGJAM doing in the fifteen?
Bailey got dropped after a summer average of 26.14, Shane was the second worst batsman with 38.33.
The selectors move in mysterious ways.
Said it before, say it again - Watson must have photographs of the selectors and The Board in very compromising positions.
Still, you can only hope that it's a blessing in disguise.
The stated reason Bailey got dropped is that "he's not suited to South African conditions"
If that's the case, Watson will be utterly destroyed by the fearsome Springbok pace attack, and, with any luck, will finally end his playing days on The Veldt.
Lord, help us.
