I don't see Welch getting near the squad, sadly. The bloke is so talented but it hasn't happened this season for him.
Evans has had a complete 180 turn around since this time last year. Very much the golden boy now. How fickle is cricket..
Maybe you need to bring Welch to your club.
It’s the springboard for returning to form lol

The guys from Pakistan have clearly made it difficult. This is very good. Makes every century and half century mean a lot more, especially from the openers.
The Rocks top 6 have all scored at least a 50. When was the last time that happened?

He was punted, didnt retire. So ask ZC. There will need to be some penance though I think.

Depends on his health. If he can kick the coke then I think he'll want to give it one last shot. A home world cup is a big deal for these guys. Same reason the likes of BT and Cremer couldn't keep away, and the likes of Ervine and Raza keep going.

I've always maintained Sean will be back for that, it was rubbished at first but thats my prediction.

Annoys me that so many guys have opted out of today or are resting. We only have 8 franchise OD games a season.
Myers, Wes, Curran, Naqvi, Welch, Chivanga all not playing.

Welch has probably been dropped, unfortunately.
Is Mike Frost not playing either?

Taruvinga is clearly a prospect. They have to give him the gloves next season in the shorter formats. Hopefully he gets to play some A games.
