Never mind the players, I think the Aussie selectors have got themselves in a muddle.

You may want to check with Lloyd on this before you go further. Lloyd would refer you to this

I remember few matches albeit ODIs , where West Indies playing in India used spinners, within Power Play......commies.... Gavaskar, Boycott et al started crying about demise of West Indies cricket...fast bowler etc.....
Particularly, Gavaskar...in each series...but when other countries do same... it's horses for courses....

That was Lloyd cricket of 70's....

I am sure Motie and Hosein played together as did Harper and Butts and Noriega and Gibbs

those are exceptions...and the attitude on this board (not that i can take it as representative) has largely been that...

i will continue to look out for it being more than the exception
