adi , are you actually reading my posts
domestic form becomes irrelevant for people who have been shown to be not up to the demands of international cricket
every time luke wright has been picked for England it has been after he has shown good form domestically but he has failed at international level
so why should we think that being in form domestically again would make any difference next time ?
all we end up doing is repeating the cycle and wasting an opportunity for someone who might actually make that jump
look at guys like hick and ramprakash, scored runs for fun domestically, were usually top or near the top of the domestic averages every year but they couldn't translate that domestic form to international level on a consistent basis despite many chances
