There shouldn't be a problem , pick your best team whether you are black , white or bloody pink who the hell cares . It's a fact that the coloured batsman aren't as good but get most of the opportunities to play.sam_ahm wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 6:42 pmFrom what I've seen so far, I can say that Ben Curran is a better player than both Bennett and Campbell... And I have a feeling that N Welch would be better than those two as well, going by his domestic numbers.
I'm not saying that Bennett isn't good. He is very good, but I'm being realistic here. I know they can't select more than 4 white players in the team and at the moment, until Ervine and Williams retire those 4 best white test players are N Welch, B Curran, Ervine and Willo... Once the latter two retire then Bennett and Burl/Campbell can get in. Yes, I feel Burl will make a good test player.
The problem here once again is that there aren't enough coloured batters who are making a case for themselves, which makes team selection very difficult because ideally on merit there could be 6 white players in there + Raza... But we can't play such a combination.
My ideal test X1 would be in battiing order
B.Bennett
B.Curran
N.Welch
C.Ervine
S.Williams
S.Raza
J.Campbell
