I read with great interest the following quotes from George Bailey as the Chief of the Australian Cricket selectors in the Sydney Morning Herald today.
Bailey was also open in calling for more Australian players to develop as left-arm spinners, after New Zealand’s Mitchell Santner was instrumental in engineering India’s first home series loss since 2012.
“I’m happy to very much throw it out there that it is an incredible skill set in the subcontinent and we’ve seen that for many years,” Bailey said. “Realistically there’s not a huge amount of players in domestic cricket that are doing it, so it’s something we’re looking to expose.
George, Josh Clarke is your man.

Josh bats too doesn't he Paul. I try to follow Premier as much as I can between Tests, Shield, 2nd X1 even underage cricket now I am retired. Another promising lefty is Ethan Jamieson. A very capable bat too. He impressed me in the Junior Ashes last year.
Paul speaking of our dumb selectors allowing good players to leave, another is Raf MacMillan, also played in the Junior Ashes, second leg in England. I was shocked then angry when I read the TCA had poached him. Raf is one of our most promising slow bowling all round cricketers so it will be Tasmanian cricket and their fans that will now benefit from his talents.
Members, do you think he has what it takes to play Test cricket?
