The shock call on the 153 km/h speed freak comes as a shakeup in the selection process is looming.
Josh Hazlewood is doubtful to play in the series, which starts on Saturday in Brisbane. This means that a bowler could join Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins in the eleven.
Both Cummins and Hazlewood were sidelined by injuries during the second Test in Adelaide against the West Indies, though the captain is expected to play again against the South Africans.
On day four, Michael Neser took care of the West Indies’ tail to match Boland’s three-wicket haul, but he is still the bowler most likely to play.
Warner, who is “troubled,” faces a “hard question”; reasons why Green failed:
Talking Points A modern great is born of an absurd feat; ugly David Warner’s shocking truth:
Ratings for the series Both Waugh and Isa Guha predicted that Boland would remain ahead of Neser for Brisbane in the Test pecking order.
When asked why, Waugh stated, He stated, “I just think Boland is better at bowling than Neser; (he) is just a yard quicker.”
“I’d choose Boland. It’s a close call.”
Guha concurred with Waugh’s selection, claiming that Cummins and Boland could easily play in the same XI.
She stated, “I think I agree simply because I think Boland likes to be first change and Cummins will come in and open with Starc.”
“I think he has the ability to bowl long overs in the middle and come on at first change when the ball isn’t doing as much,” according to the coach.
Waugh, on the other hand, stated that Australia could make a surprise selection during the traditional Boxing Day Test match in Melbourne.
Waugh, a former selector, suggested that Morris might be a good choice, despite Boland’s 6-7 victory over England in the Ashes last summer.
The 24-year-old made a serious statement in the Adelaide Oval nets when he was included for the first time in an Australian Test squad last week.
Before the all-rounder decided to step aside and allow Morris to bowl at the stumps instead, he terrorized Cameron Green with his speed.
In Australian cricket circles,
His speed, with which he once split Shaun Marsh’s bat in half and reached 153 kilometers per hour during the Sheffield Shield season, has sparked a lot of excitement. At only 24 years of age, the speedster is viewed as a Test star representing things to come.
He even suggested that he might one day be a star.
He may perform in Melbourne. Waugh stated, “I think he might be suitable for Melbourne.”
simply due to the pitch. Because there isn’t a lot of swinging and seaming.
I think pace through the air might be helpful in Melbourne.
This West Indies team is unquestionably talented, but the visitors haven’t given much of a fight over the past two weeks, failing to even take 10 wickets in an innings.
Nevertheless, it provides Australia with a timely boost of confidence ahead of the South Africa Test series, which begins on Saturday at the Gabba.
But things haven’t always gone according to plan for the Australians.
