Shirley not. Sniffy has snuffed out whatever abilities Elmer possessed.

Pick Zampa ffs. He's ljh's pick. Mind you ljh has fading memory and confused Zampa for the Tampa.

squad to be named at 4:30pm at Adelaide Oval. I guess this is Sozzie time?

Pathetic. The timing is driven by nein news. The matches will still be going.

correct 4:30pm real time. The important match (NSW vs Vic) is already over.

IN
Renshaw
Handscomb
Maddinson
Wade
Bird
Sayers

OUT
Burns
Voges
Ferguson
Nevill
Mennie
M.Marsh

Maddinson scored about 10 runs in the match just done!

Can someone take out the idiot koala.

Wade FFS!

As if Lyon was finding it hard enough to take wickets as it was.

so batting line-up should be:
Warner
Renshaw
Khawaja
Smith
Handscomb
Maddinson
Wade
Starc
Hazelwood
Bird/Sayers
Lyon

Spiv quota system in action.

Truly bizarre selection...

Doolan?

suffered delayed concussion in the Shield game. Probably wouldn't have been selected anyway.

Maddison FFS!! Has to be a home town decision.

Lyon ffs....maybe they will dump him at the AO so he can resume his job as a curator.

The guy is now as incapable of getting a wicket as RD was in getting a shag.

Renshaw should be nowhere near the test team at this stage of his career. He should be playing Sheffield Shield only in 2016/17. If he continues to perform, then think about picking him next year.

I am really angry about this.

who would you have picked instead, WW?

Seems they've always wanted Maddinson in. They always need a new New South Welshman to keep the quota up. Hookes was right all those years ago.

Renshaw was probably the Chappell youth selection.

Will we play 4 quicks? Smith can bowl spin if required.

Good question. Harris is more seasoned and in form. But the bnlg would have burst a phuffer valve.

Renshaw and Dean are real prospects but are still a bit green. Highly reactive decision making from people concerned about their jobs. Agree with WW that Renshaw needs a full season.

At least there no useless wasps in the squad.

Hopefully. Maybe Lyon is there purely for a job interview with the curator.

Certain the idiot Koala confused KP2 for MADMAN.

Maxwell was just on the wireless saying that there is a view that KP can't play pace as well an Madman.

As for Renshaw - he's played as many FC matches as Slater did when he made his debut.

More importantly, we are going to have to come up with better nicknames for the newbies.

Pommy Renshaw?
Avenue?

I think Sayers has been Dolly for a while now.

'MAKE THEM EARN IT!!!!!!!!' was what led to Adam Voges

Sayers has to be 'Doom'
