We consider it is time to make some adjustments to the batting line-up after some disappointing results in England ?We considered the performance by Damien in England as not up to the standard we require.
I guess the past 12 months for Matthew in one-day cricket, even by his own admission, hasn't been great for him. We considered that it was now time to move on and try something else,
He can consider himself unlucky. We were looking for someone with a little more penetration. McGrath is almost impossible to replace so we had to look for a squad of fast bowlers to replace him.
He's been a fringe player for a long time. We consider that he's probably at his peak right now. He was the logical replacement for Damien once we left a batsman out of the squad.
He's the type of cricketer that we consider is essential for one-day cricket. He bats, bowls, and fields very, very well,
