Lawson blasts Australian selectors over Clark's omission

London, Thu, 10 Dec 2009 ANI

London, Dec 10(ANI): Former Australian fast bowler Geoff Lawson has blasted national selectors over the omission of fast bowler Stuart Clark for the third Test against West Indies at Perth.

 

Clark 's international career suffered a major blow, when he was again overlooked for the Test side.

 

"If someone was injured in training before that Adelaide Test, you're going for the work experience boy, are you? That statement was bizarre," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Lawson, as saying.

 

"And, now Stu has been overlooked again, are the public to assume they were lying? If they want to pick Clint McKay, say so, but don't say that. There is a total lack of consistency," he added.

 

Lawson also pointed to Clark's impressive recent performances in Perth, where he picked up 2-86 in the Sheffield Shield and returned 0-15 off eight overs in a one-dayer, saying that he was clearly the outstanding replacement choice.

 

Earlier, Chief selector Andrew Hilditch had said that Clark would be considered if in form.

 

"We'd like to win every Test match going into the Ashes because we're trying to build confidence in the new team, but we have our eye very much on the Ashes," Hilditch said.

 

"If our assessment at the time is Stuart's the best bowler for the Ashes and he's still going well, then so be it," he added. (ANI)
