Australian Cricket Selectors
The Australian cricket selectors are a group of people appointed by Cricket Australia to be responsible for team selections for each of the Australian national sides in every form of cricket. Current members for the Australian Men's Team are (as of November 2022): George Bailey (Chairman), Andrew McDonald (also Head Coach) and Tony Dodemaide. Current members for the Australian Women's Team are (as of November 2022): Shawn Flegler (Chairman), Shelley Nitschke (also Head Coach), Avril Fahey and Julie Hayes. Australia's selection panel for the men's team was changed in November 2016 after a disappointing start to the summer which included back to back losses to South Africa at Perth and Hobart, the low point being the batting collapse for a total of 84 at Hobart. The preceding losses away to Sri Lanka in Tests (lost 0–3) and to the South Africans in One-dayers (lost 0–5) added further fuel to the fire forcing the ex-incumbent Rod Marsh to resign from his position of chairman ...

Alan Keith Davidson
Alan Keith Davidson (14 June 1929 – 30 October 2021) was an Australian cricketer of the 1950s and 1960s. He was an all rounder: a hard-hitting lower-order left-handed batsman, and an outstanding left-arm fast-medium opening bowler. Strongly built and standing six feet tall, Davidson was known for his hard hitting power, which yielded many long hit sixes. His left arm bowling was a mainstay of the Australian pace attack of the 1950s and early 1960s, and from the late 1950s he was widely regarded as one of the finest pace bowlers in the world. Davidson's classical bowling action imparted late swing, allowing him to move the ball to deceive batsmen and he bowled with great control, conceding fewer than two runs per over across his career. In 2006, writer Geoff Armstrong considered that Davidson was, along with Wasim Akram, one of the two greatest left-arm fast bowlers in history. Davidson was also known for his anticipation in close catching positions and his accurate and s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
