http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rob-Quiney-c2340 to get another Test chance – Cricket News Update
In the wake of the news that skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
Clarke picked up a hamstring strain on day 4 of the ongoing first Test against the touring Lankans, and was forced to leave the field after making a quick-fire 57. Though he took the field during the tourists’ run-chase, he is still not considered for the subsequent clash, which will be played at the MCG.
If deemed unfit, the Aussies will not only lose their skipper, but their most prolific run getter this year. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Doolan-c983.
Quiney was axed from the team’s line-up after insipid showings in the opening two Tests against South Africa, where he replaced the injured http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Phillip-Hughes-c2185.
However, Clarke’s injury has again opened the door for him to get selected, and his Melbourne Stars teammate David Hussey feels that Quiney has the temperament to succeed at Test level. The Boxing Day clash will be staged at Quiney’s home ground in Melbourne.
"He's had limited opportunity in the Test match arena, so if he does get another chance I think Boxing Day would be perfect for him," Hussey said on Tuesday.
"He knows the conditions and ground very well, so he'd be my selection.
"His Test match debut didn't go so well, but being back around the (Melbourne Stars) group he's very, very comfortable and everybody loves him being around."
