Should Shane Warne be picked for the 2009 Ashes?
Posted by admin on Jul 5, 2009
His form in the IPL clearly indicates he is the still the best spin bowler in Australia. They have given others a chance and the harsh truth is none of them are up to test standard.
No. Warne himself said that when he’d retired, he’d made the decision himself and he’s never looked back since. I doubt he’d come out of retirement anyway. The IPL is just a tournament played for around two months (I think) a year, which isn’t the same as touring different countries frequently, having regular fitness cycles etc. I’m not saying he still can’t play, just that I think currently he’s just not an option for the Australians.

He is not an international cricketer so he cannot be selected into the national side.
Unless he comes out of retirement but that is almost impossible.

Many people hope he would make a come-back. But he’s retierd. Let Hauritz play and in a few years he’ll be good. Look at Mitch Johnson, not many people rated him but when Lee and Clark got injured, he took over and is now an excitement machine

Bringing Warne back into the side would be taking a step backwards. We might get a short term result, but in the long run we’d be better off blooding players of the future.

I wish!

He cannot have the stamina for playing long innings. But still he has game in him

no

Hauritz is showing some good form. For this reason he should remain in the side for the Ashes.
If Warnie was brought in, our spinners will never develop, particularly in pressure cooker situations such as the Ashes. Therefore it is vital that we don’t bring back Warnie.

Although it would make some major bucks..
No, he won;t be back. Unfortunately, you are right about giving others a chance. The problem has been they play a game or two and are then dropped. They are not receiving any support as Warnie received when he started.

The thing is he is, and always will be, better than anyone else you have. He is a one-off. Better to give a young spinner some experience while you’re still likely to win the urn. Mind you, Swann looked pretty handy against the lefties this week…

NO I don’t think that he should be picked for ashes . But CA should seriously think abt. giving its t20 team’s captaincy to warney atleast this t20 world cup . Because he is their for only four overs so no fitness problems and certainly he can perform better than ponting as a captain

Australia’s best test match bowlers as of now are: Siddle (29 wkts in his last 7 matches); Mitchell Johnson (94 wkts in his last 21 matches); Brett Lee (79 wkts in his last 17 matches); Jason Krejza (13 wkts in his last 2 test matches); Nathan Hauritz (9 wkts in his last 3 matches) and Stuart Clark (43 wkts in his last 13 matches). Then they have Beau Casson and Hilfenhaus.
If Shane can drop a couple of Kgs, I would like to see him bowl in the Ashes. Age is only a number. Shane is mentally very strong and has enormous leadership qualities. His fielding is still sharp. His presence will strengthen Aussie team as they will have to grapple with the spin of Swann and Onions.
