Aust T20 side

Reports today that George Bailey is about to be named as the new Aust T20 captain. There is no doubt that ShyT deserves to be dropped but Bailey seems to be a strange choice.
While there is no doubting his leadership capabilities, his current form has been average & he is still recovering from shoulder surgery which is limiting his fielding.

While its still just a rumour at this stage, one wonders why Warner has been overlooked.

I thought George was ready to step into the Aus Test side in the middle order a couple of years back, but his form since has been fairly ordinary. I agree that he seems an odd left field choice, if the rumour is correct.

Form + t20 = meaningless

You can have Luke Wright if you like. I think his mum's cousin's nephews's brother-in-law was in the same room once when an episode of Neighbours was broadcast. That'll do.

Meh....he was outperformed by Shah.

Shah is shoite - just have him please

Is the T20 captain also a selector...or is Pup a T20 selector?

No T20 - no Hoggggggggyyyyyyyyyyy.

T20 squad: Bailey (c), Warner (vc), Birt, Christian, Doherty, Faulkner, Finch, Hogg, D Hussey, Lee, M Marsh, S Marsh, McKay, Wade

Well, BD's rumour was accurate. Gongrats to George, I hope he has success.

And WTF??? Hogggggyyyyyyyy!!!!!! is in?? Definite proof he should never have retired in the first place. On current form (cept Bog), looks a pretty good squad.

skully in confusing Test form for T20 form shocker

One of the papers this morning said White was a selector of the t20 side. So I wonder if they shitcanned him and then got Bailey on the phone for the rest of the meeting...

No Starc?

Did ShyT get to pick George ...or just get to drop himself?

Either way, it's hella funny.

hopefully because they want him to concentrate on Test bowling ...was certainly one of the better performers in the BBL

Just got a text from Zimmy.

Needless to say he is in heaven.

I got a text from him too. It was full of typos. I suspect he was typing with his boner.

Very disturbing mental image Zat
Can't fault the side except the WTF selection of Rumpole and the WTFATS selection of him as Captain

There is no question as to his ability as captain, its his current form that is questionable, especially as his recent corrective surgery is obviously hampering him.

Exactly, why carry someone who is clearly injured and out of form, and why the hell make them captain.

so we could shunt ShyT

nothing like saying to the rest of Aust's 20/20 spinners that they su-diddley-uck... Hoggy!!! deserves his spot on form though.

I think X also deserved his spot.
