The constant carry on as if you're some genius is getting real old, and that's coming from someone who took on Short.

This forums about positivity raining on everyones parade isn't needed.
I am nowhere near a genius and would not claim to be so. We got told that Short was a must have relentlessly and it has not turned out to be so.

Not here. Quite a few didn't pick him. He has the potential to go huge at any time, who knows, he may still get 3 wickets in this one. Or he might not.

I don't have him in my team.

Where did you see this - on SCS or elsewhere?

A lot of SCS coaches seem to have avoided him … and even some of those who ultimately took him did not consider him a must.

His first class record is no worse than those who seem to be on the fringe of the national side … and his Test record is better.

Plus he’s an actual opener, and is only 28 …
I would love to see him get given another crack.

Personally would like to see Konstas make more runs domestically rather than rush him in, but understand why they want to. Watched almost all of the U19 World Cup games and he didn’t stand out a whole lot, actually thought Harry Dixon looked a better prospect. No denying that he’s been impressive for NSW this year though.
