MUST WATCH: JFM obliterates IPL bowling attack - even Bumrah! - for 15-ball 50... and keeps going
A six-laden, 27-ball 84 from Jake Fraser-McGurk to continue his outrageous debut IPL!
Recently the 17-man Test squad for Australian’s tour of India was announced. The selectors have chosen some rather interesting selections for this up coming tour with Steve Smith, Mosies Henriques and Xavier Doherty part of the 17.
I hear others saying that Glenn Maxwell was a surprise selection.
Well, to me he wasn’t as much of a surprise as the others, due to the fact that the public at least got given hints from other team mates as well as the coach that his bowling was improving.
Come to think of it, Doherty’s name was dropped once or twice as well.
Taking only one wicketkeeper is an interesting choice. If it was up to me I would have taken another one in the place of maybe Smith.
And no it wouldn’t have been Brad Haddin.
I was very surprised that Chris Rogers didn’t get picked as a spare opener, in case Warner doesn’t come good.
Having said that I think the selectors think that without Warner they would still have Ed Cowan, Shane Watson and Philip Hughes who could all open. The problem with that is Hughes is mostly focusing on batting at number three now and he needs to kick on and make big scores.
Either way, while Rogers may have missed selection, she should work hard and press his case for a trip to England. His experience over there may be a big factor in his favour.
And maybe the same could be said for David Hussey if he makes more runs for Victoria.
D. Hussey should have played Test Cricket years and years ago, but of course the selectors ignored him. Now it looks like he may never wear the Baggy Green, through no fault of his own.

It seems franchise cricket has forgotten about the great battle between bat and ball. In fact, this season in the IPL there is no battle at all.
The mammoth rise of Jake Fraser-McGurk - his enormous potential and the destructive shot-making that he possesses makes him a very tempting option.
