Two convincing losses though? Like, on paper you guys look far better - I agree, but it doesn't look like the PC would be even when you're being rolled combined - let alone halved.
Keep picking the players that are in decline and this is what will happen. Get out of the past Cribb.
I actually agree. It's usually taken longer for guns to decline at rep level but I think we're starting to see it a bit now. Either James or Taylor will be debuting in Game III unless they both get injured.
I don't get why you don't pick yourself cribb, despite two poor performances. It's like picking the number one pick in the nba draft, playing him twice (and he plays shit) then him never playing nba again.
Team balance mainly. Even ignoring rep performances, I'm not one of the best seven batsmen or one of the best four bowlers in the province, and the likes of Speirs, Tyson and Flack have been such guns for NSW in allround roles that I'm not needed to supply balance. I'll be playing for NSW City in the PC which is my chance to prove my rep worth.
