Gilchrist's poor form continued in NZ ...Is he another suffering from burnout ? Should he consider (or be 'tapped' by selectors) standing down from ODIs to revive/prolong test career ? Rather than Haddin (re ODIs) reckon Crosswaite & Hartley ,both good young keepers,should come into reckoning. M Hussey has also kept for WA but may be a case of 'if it ain't broke....' rather than thrust a further burden on him.
Jacques (NSW) continues to hammer at the selection door,with a ton v Vics followed by centuries both days last weekend in club / intrastate matches. Cosgrove (SA) + Bailey (TAS) have also impressed lately as has L Mash (Vic) ...What's his background ? Late bloomer just sprung up from 'nowhere'.Certainly been consistent.
If only the young bowling stocks were even half as bountiful as the batting reservoir.Wise has been impressive this year but seems selectors more keen on Johnson from Qld on the promise of 'potential'.Thought Lewis did well in NZ & Bracken ok.Still puzzled S Clark gets a game for NSW,let alone the national side.Kaspar,Bichel + Gillespie deserve to be re-tread ahead of him,if we're going down that path...
Aware (c) look good on one's CV but think it also affecting C White's bowling in that he's not using himself enough.May be better for him to give the Vic (c) to someone else at season's end & concentrate on his bowling if he wants to crack & establish himself in international ranks.
