Of the talent we actually do have Hinds was one of the better ones.

I notice you were recently promoting Ganga (who is inferior) as a batsman.

Seeing as you yourself just admit you don't know where this Test class talent is, then what is the point of throwing out the baby with the bathwater?

Test class talent is created and nurtured from youngsters with cricketing talent (of which Hinds used to be one).

It doesn't grow on a tree.

Hinds was messed around by selectors whilst inferior players like Morton have been allowed to perform to an even lower standard. Hinds, at least inconsistently, showed he could perform at that level.

It is funny though that you say, "the faster we get rid of them and replace them with test-class talent, the better".

I thought you didn't support WI anymore?
