Pat Cummins for Josh Hazlewood ??

Philander for Abbot ....was a Mistake !

will Oz repeat Proteas error in selection ?????  :-\

Given how well Hazlewood bowled against Pakistan, I would imagine he keeps his place in the team although looking over the stats, Cummins has a better average and strikerate although a higher economy rate (albeit in 12 less overs), this World Cup.

Mohammed Shami's figures this World Cup: 6 matches played, 51 overs bowled, 17 wickets taken (with a best of 4/35), an average of 13.29, a strikerate of 18.0 and an economy rate of 4.43.

Wake Up , my friend : it is really a NIGHTMARE  :-[

You look at Steven Smith's performance today and the thing that astonishes you most is how he is not a "bits and pieces" cricketer that everyone thought he would become when he first arrived on the scene.

But personally, the innings that I decided Smith would make it was in Nottingham in the Ashes. They were 50 odd for four and Smith with Hughes (RIP), came out and battled.

It goes on to show that if you get your act together in test matches, ODI cricket takes care of itself.

I am still puzzled how he was selected as a Spinner after Warnie..... :-\
