Alas Super Talents were Missed Their Pick Time Due To Late Selection !
●Alas The Super Talents Suffer In The Land Of Cricket’s Synonym-
The Don ! ●
[On Bred Hodge,
Michael Hussey
And Adam Voges
Who Got Debut At And After Age 30 ]
Australia is one of the biggest cricket playing nation and cricket is its National Game. Australia cricket has given many greats of the game like F Spoforth,Victor Trumper,
Clem Hill,Bill Posford,A Morris ,B Lawry ,Ray Lindwal, Kieth Miller, Alan Davidson ,Bill O’Reilly, Alan Turner,Neil Harvey, C Grimate, Greg Chappal, Dennis Lillee,Jeff Thompson, Alan Border, Glan McGrath ,Shane Warne ,Ricky Ponting,Rodney Marsh ,Adam Gilchrist but above these all Don the greatest . And can be said remained an evergreen mine of cricket that produces great talents time by time. And alas only 11 cricketers can play in the game from one side. And almost 5 to 6 players have to sit at the bench as the substitute. And when the 11 players do established in the team then the talented bench must to have wait to play in the final Eleven. And only in the case of there absence to have cause the benched cricketer is replaced . Yeah great Clive Llyod ,Marcus Labuchagne are the best example of this regards. These two cricketers were part of the bench and accidentally get the chance and their luck played the best role and both the cricketers endorsed out the opportunity and established in the playing eleven by showing great performance.
I have attended three big talented batters from Australia who got the break at the age of 30. Yeah according to the biology the invalid age for the cricketers. Yeah who are already established could carry the career up to 35. But it’s cleared after the age of 30 there performance seems dimmed . See the statistics of Sachin Tendulkar the great of Virat Kohli the great. Yes their performance has affected with the age. It’s difficult to keep big form permanently. Yeah Sunil Gavaskar and Vivian Richards figures are also weaken or thinner after the age 30. And amazing despite good performance in the domestic stage these three cricketers-Bred Hodge, Michael Hussey,Adam Voges get the chance but very late . Yeah in the age concerned they get the chance at or after the age 30. But despite age 30 they show a great performance
Yeah as the batsman their figures are ample. Yes see the statistics of Bred Hoges,Michael Hussey,Adam Voges
Yes in these three cricketers Michael Hussey’s career ran long and he retired with big figures . But alas Adam Voges and Bred Hoges’ career got ended soon or in the short period despite big statistic .

■ Yes at the count of the birth date and Test Debut B Hoges and M Hussey began their international career at the age of 31 and A Voges at the age of 37. It means B Hodge and M Hussey lost their pick 10 years and A Vogue at the twilight yeah 17 year late. And B Hodge’s career stayed only for 2 and a half year
A Voges’ career stayed for 17 month . So it’s pathetic that both the batsmen played for the short period and had to say goodbye despite high batting average. Yes comparatively M Hussey’s career ran greater longer than B Hoges and A Voges yes 7 year 1 month. And during these seven years M Hussey kept his class high yeah by maintaining his standard meritorious statistics.
Yes what I say through this mention that these talents did not justify by the selectors but okay ultimately to have some cause anyhow they got chance but india ‘s high talented spin wizard Rajendra Goyal and Padmakar Shivakumar didn’t get any chance to play at the international level because of the presence of BS Bedi he always remained fitted and inform spin bowler . So it can be said whether a little luck remained graceful on these three Aussies . In cricket one promgrate and hundred ill yes the Hindi proverb often works or dominant and the certain talent is suffered due to established talent .
Yes A Voges was selected for the national team in 2005 but remained benched because the batsmen of the final eleven were successful ever. Yeah once Damien Martin retired but Andrew Symond was preferred instead of Adam Voges thus the luck mocked with A Voges and then he had to await 10 years yes at the age of 36 year and 6 months . Yes it means his pick and prime time had passed . But yeah he proved his call and showed the Bradmansque performance in the Test arena and he remained for 17 months in the international arena and after playing only 20 Test match declared retirement. But in his short international career he left prolific mark and in the batting average concerned he rests 2nd after greatest Sir Don Bradman. Thus there are few batsmen like Sid Barnes, G Pollock who played the minimum Tests but became the legendary figures in the short term.
Yeah i do attend some batsmen whose career remained shorter but their figures remained higher and registered their names in the history book. Yes these are :

◆ Note : Yes i have attended the handsome average but we know the average doesn’t express the real class ever and sometimes it’s just a figure . If we attend the figure of india’s Karun Nair who played only 6 Tests and has a triple ton (303 n.o. vs England ) on his name that chides batsman like Sachin Tendulkar yes has big average 62.33 the highest from india .
I have attended 13 batsmen from the Test arena in which India ‘s Karun Nayar’s figures are of 2016. And another india Vinod Kimble’s statistics are from the year 1996. And others batsmen are before 1970. Yeah in these 13 batsmen Sid Barnes and Graeme Pollock ‘s statistics as well as the class was great and the world cricket fraternity salutes them. And the critics and experts of the game include them in the legendary list.
