I'm on a roll
Wade's gone from the Test squad to hopefully tour South Africa. Sent packing to be vice-captain of the Australian T20 squad which he excels at.
Bloody selectors brought back Head
They also picked the Portuguese bloke, Moises Henriques. FFS he is nearly 34 years old and averages
23.42 in Tests. Last played a Test in 2016. Good at Sheffield Shield level but near useless in Tests. He and Steve Smith own racehorses together so that is probably why he is in the squad.
There is a guy sitting at home in Australia playing grade cricket. He does not play Big Bash. He averages
144 in Test cricket in the last two years yet does not make the Test squad

At 18 years and 206 days, he became the youngest batsman to score a century on Sheffield Shield debut for New South Wales when he hit 157 against Western Australia in November 2011. However, it was not until nearly two years later that he played his second first-class match, and his breakthrough season came in 2015-16 when he piled up 737 runs, including two centuries, to be the leading Shield run-scorer for New South Wales and sixth on the overall tally.

The poor bastard is going to end up like Brad Hodge.

Brad Hodge will go down as one of the unluckiest nearly-men in Australian cricket. When he was dropped with an average of 58.42 only five matches into his Test career in 2005-06, he vowed to win back his place. He added only one Test, as a fill-in during a tour of the West Indies two years later, before his tally was permanently stalled at six matches in the Baggy Green. It was not an adequate reward for one of the most prolific run-scorers in the modern era of Australia's domestic game.

The selectors are fucking blind. They keep regurgitating failed players. No wonder Australia is sliding down the Test rankings
