How on earth is this kid a test debutant? At all?

7 fc games, 17 wickets, at an appalling;y bad average of 37. Tail end bat. With a terrible tail end batting average.

Seriously. This is ridiculous. And a farce. Total farce.

Hasan Ali, Imran Khan, Naseem Shah, Wahab Riaz if you must.... how on earth this person playing test cricket.

Think it was a fair call during the Ashes. From memory his red ball form had been mediocre and they aren't the conditions for Starc in general. It's the last place you want someone spraying the new ball around. Although in hindsight, he might have been very useful in that match where we couldn't get the last wicket. That's the thing about him, releases pressure but can take wickets out of nowhere. Very good in specific conditions.

I think it is perplexing that the most successful bowler in the World Cup did not play most Tests against England, because his bowling didn't adhere to coach devised game plans for success in England. 

I just wonder where the selectors will go with a player  like Warner  now he has had a long career, with an average of somewhere near 60 at home and I was told 25 away, today.
