Poo and Hety not in that party? Of the lot, I can only possibly see Forde making the cut. All the others are dime a dozen players (no disrespect intended, sincerely!)

I agree that men should be selective and hopefully the better they perform in tests and international cricket, the higher their earnings in franchise cricket so that they can make a decent living without playing everyone. A listers in Hollywood do not take every part offered to them.
