Cricket_Hacker Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Veteran batsman Brad Hodge and spinner Brad Hogg have both been named in Australia's 15-man squad for the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh. Australia's selectors have opted for experience with the short-term aim of winning the title for the first time by choosing Hogg, 43, and Hodge, 39, along with the wicketkeeper Brad Haddin. The young legspinner James Muirhead was also included after impressing during his first three Twenty20 internationals against England this summer, and there was no room for Xavier Doherty. Shaun Marsh was also overlooked, as was the young Queensland batsman Chris Lynn, who performed well in his initial T20 internationals over the past month. Full report to follow Australia World T20 squad George Bailey (capt), Daniel Christian, Nathan Coulter-Nile, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Brad Haddin, Brad Hodge, Brad Hogg, Glenn Maxwell, James Muirhead, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, David Warner, Shane Watson, Cameron White. http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2014/content/current/story/718003.html
Scarves Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Eh I guess it is solid. Would replace Hodge and Christian for Dunk and Lynn.
maniac Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Hogg has been a true inspiration to all the uncles suffering from a mid-life crisis :two_thumbs_up:
Robelinda Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 So cool that Hogg just keeps on performing.
GoldenSun Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 So cool that Hogg just keeps on performing. Yeah he really is underrated isn't he? :) I think he definitely will be a key player for us in Bangladesh.
GoldenSun Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I wanted either Chris Lynn or Ben Dunk though, but other than that it's a pretty solid squad.
brendan07 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Who is Dan Christian blowing...seriously. Lynn is so much better!
Lord Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 bit light on the spinners only Muirhead. Hogg?
