No I'm not taking the piss.
Bloke can bat, and has been shafted for nothing more than a personality clash. Even the great Aussie teams had blokes that couldn't stand each other (warne/s.waugh, gilchrist/warne) but blokes were picked on merit.
We used to win a bit back then.

It's always astounded me when coaches/authority figures get too cute for their own good and don't do the bleeding obvious and pick the best team.

Maybe I'm missing something.
Rogers shouldn't be there either! Fill the team with guys in their mid 30's is not the answer.... everyone complains when the socceroos do it, yet everyone wants the cricket team to!
