politics does play a big part if you bowl or not, although finance also plays a big part too. Why there going back 20 years back to selecting players really urkks me. Not neccessary I think. I would be interested in who the selectors are and what there history and participation at this level ever was or is. Next year I presume it will be top 2 then select the next 5 as it was in 1984. Unfortunately it wont be posted ,due to lacks of guts!.
I know at least two "current" tournament bowlers bowling....brenton davy and robby chinner, who on paper should make the team this considering the depth of experience the field has. No offence to the others, but one thing I do know is this state was at it's best when we had ATBA, the amount of tournaments to bowl in to get the experience, and a depth in motivation. It will come back to this state I'm sure ??? with such things as the youth circuit here in Adelaide plus hopefully others things.
