Re: Matthew Hayden
The selectors will call up anyone that they think will play for Australia in the future, regardless of "much needed domestic cricket"
Sean Marsh went over to India as did Dougy Bollinger earlier this year. They missed some cricket but it hasnt hindered their development.

Re: Matthew Hayden
I am an australian and victoria supporter but I am still mistified as to why Australian selectors continue to persist with an ideology that we must have an all-rounder in our team.
We need to go into a game with 3 or 4 pace man, 1 spinner and Clarke/Katich sending down some overs. All to do with the pitch of course. But no all-rounder is good enough really to play for Australia (Symonds can bat but his bowling suffers, Watson is very hot and cold with both bat and ball)

It was his debut remember or have you forgotten again?
Plus Duminy scored, what was it? 1 in his first innings but bounced back nicely whats stopping McDonald from doing the same?

Re: Matthew Hayden
Even if he does make 100 in the 2nd innings, which i don't think he will, he will be asked to make way for Chris Rogers and Phil Jaques/Hughes on the tour to Sth Africa.
Jaques needs to prove to the selectors that he is worthy of his spot back with his only 1st Class hit-out at the end of the month before the selectors pick the squad or Hughes gets the nod. Forget about Klinger, he's had ample time to produce on the talent everyone in Victoria knew about but he has wasted any chance he had of playing in a Baggy Green. Sure he has had a fine season in 08/09 thus far but he couldn't buy a run for the 6 or so seasons previous he was in the First Class scene. We need either; a proven performer or a young kid who has potential, not some late 20's one season wonder.
