    Ashton Agar: Test Cricketer or Trivia Answer?

    What's the consensus?

    I don't understand blooding him last Ashes and then going to Ahmed or Lyon.

    I do understand the general principle of giving a youngster a taste and getting them firing to get the spot back, but I don't see that it is applicable here in all the circumstances. I'd like to see him start 1st Test or forget him until he gets a 30+ wicket SS season.

    I have a gut feeling he will be a trivia question if he doesn't start the series.

    Baby steps. He's not in the boys club yet.

      He's very young but I'll go with trivia answer.
      If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

        Heard a whisper Ashton has a little to much on his plate at the moment.

            Any closer to the answer?
