Cricketics Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 This guy played brilliantly on a tough Indian tour where many Aussies struggled. And now after few failures in domestic the guy has been dropped for the Ashes for the first two tests. One can blame selectors but I am pretty sure Smith also consilted with them on this call. I think Smith is an absolute tool. Recently he also went to his state side NSW and asked the selectors to drop Ed Cowan, who was the highest run getter in Sheffield Shield, another ridiculous decision, probably much worse than him overlooking Renshaw’s selection. maniac 1 Link to comment
gattaca Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 If someone is not in form why would you select for a tough series ? They are already down on confidence and you throw them for tough series it will be even tough on them. GoldenSun 1 Link to comment

Putting him right from the start is what increases someone’s confidence. He should have been a sure shot selection even after few failures in the domestic games. GoldenSun 1 Link to comment

I won’t comment much on bancroft as he might be playing well but to drop a youngster who has done well on the toughest tours like the Indian tour is one of the worst decisions. Link to comment

The guy is better than Nevill and Wade who have failed a lot. However other than that, squad is kind of rubbish, but they still might manage to keep England away from winning a test match. That all said, Smith still seems a crap captain. Link to comment

sandeep Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm actually bit disappointed that he's not picked - expected him to be exposed for the big fake hype that he is. Fat Renshaw gets graded on a curve because of his age - he actually didn't do that great in the India series. From his dismissal in the 2nd innings at Bangalore, I was never worried about his wicket while watching the rest of the series. Sure he managed a decent-ish innings on the dead track at Ranchi after that, but got sorted out by our Pacers pretty handily. Renshaw and Cook doing badly this Ashes were my 2 big predictions months ahead of the ashes. Now one's out already, lets see how old 'Chef' does. Link to comment
