CRICKET Australia v India Summer

[1910]

Josh Hazlewood will miss the second Test against India in Adelaide with a low grade left side injury.

As a result, Sean Abbott and Brendan Doggett join Beau Webster as additions to the Australian squad.

Goodness me our depth is horrendous. Shame Richardson or Morris haven’t been able to stay fit or take wickets.

Doggett bowled extremely well against India A, so I understand his selection. Abbott is a bit of a Neser-lite and isn’t the worst choice but he feels a bit more like another of the in crowd getting picked.

The selectors had a huge opportunity to get someone younger in, i.e O’Neill and haven’t taken it. Pretty disappointing from that perspective.

 

[Battler]

Why not bring Johnson in? Abbott and Doggett are bog average. Boland will play, but a 35 year old quick joining an already ageing side isn’t exactly future proofing the squad.

Wont it just be Boland coming into the actual 11??

Kind of my point. They could have bought an O'Neill / Buckingham / Hardie around the squad.

Is a nearly 30 year old that’s played six FC games in his career really the Test future?
