It is a good time to be Vicotiran.
Chris Rogers and Damien Wright sensed this.
David Hussey has always known.
Oh, so you don’t believe me.
Brad Hodge, test spot.
Bryce McGain, test spot*.
Cameron White, test spot.
Peter Siddle, test spot.
And now, from no where, and here is where we thank Merv Hughes, Andrew McDonald.
How the fuck is this happening.
Is Merv beating Andrew Hilditch up.
Suddenly it is raining Victorians, and not before time.
Remember when a test player was injured, or dropped, or retiring, and you said to yourself, I think whatshisname could go straight in, shame he is a vic.
No more.
Now even when there are other options, even NSWelsh ones, a vic goes in.
White/McGain before Casson.
Siddle before Bollinger.
Now McDonald before Noffke, Henriques, Geeves, North, and Smith.
There is a chance that there has been a huge mistake, and that Andrew McDonald is not the man who was supposed to be picked.
Congratulations to Andrew, and lets hope we can get a Vic to stick in the side for a while.
*He did get a spot, if not a test.

I know that the Vics. think that they are persecuted in the selection stakes, but big Merv doesn’t need to use his spot to take revenge. Andrew McDonald? Where the hell did that come from? Just mindblowing.
I hope the guy does well – seems like a nice bloke. But by viewing his stats and from what I have seen, the only logic for his selection is that the selectors want to rush their favourite boy Symonds back asap, and they didn’t want to pick someone who may do well enough to make that difficult.

Stuart, its great isn’t it, although Ashley might need to be on suicide watch.
I knew you’d like it, its such a NSWales selection.

Looks like he’ll be dropped for Marcus North. Happy Days.
