The Secret To Australian Selection Hi Guys, It will always be a matter for massive contention and with good reason. It has often left the punters scratching their head as to who gets a call up. The key to getting a test spot in the modern era beyond team balance or ability is having a hot...

Re: Are Australia still number 1 ? I think we need to drop this idea of needing an all rounder to be honest, McDonalds selection was abit of a joke. would of been way better off picking another batsman and picking a few part timers.

Re: Is Smith the bravest player you have ever witnessed More stupid than brave, with little on the line its not worth risking worsening the injury given that he should only just be right in time for the next series test against Australia. Commendable if the series was on the line, risking his...
