Looks like Marnus has finally run out of credits. Out of the ODI setup. Cant see him holding his place in the test squad either. Good to see them picking guys like Joel Davies and Ollie Peake in the ODI team. Interesting that Billy Stanlakes name is being thrown around as an option for future tests. Hmmm 31 and injury prone? Where is Lance Morris?
About time
Relax folks.
It’s only the ODI Squad he’s been omitted from.
There’s STILL the Test Squad,……
We can only hope.
Billy Stanlake…lol…has played f all cricket over the last decade…and Johnson’s in the squad as well…two injuries waiting to happen.
Well well, Marnus gets another chance. Hard to understand the selectors logic here. If he struggles with the gentle fast medium pace of the Bangladesh bowlers, hows he going to go on the spicy South African wickets against Rabada and Co?
Gee I hope Connolly gets a look in for the Tests.
Rolled over to the soft right again
At some point it’ll be forced
and that’s what they’re obviously scared witless about now
9 aren’t doing this Tour to South Africa by any chance,are they?
Mate I assume Bailey et al were told by CA they needed to save some coin…so picking Marnus kills many birds with one stone: Tour guide with knowledge of local cuisine, party hot spots, beaches, shopping haunts, Afrikaan fluent, and more importantly, 1st drop sacrificial lamb

a stroke of Bailey & McDonald genius
fool South Africa into thinking Labuschagne is a test batsman
looks just magnificent in the nets & got 31 the other day
but the cunning plan is that Nathan Lyon is the new opener
he is now the go for the next 10 years until something else to ignore comes up
Number 3 ?
pfffft George has been personally training Josh Hazelwood
he’ll be great George says
if it goes to shite there’s always captain Cummins
