<p>That's pretty much all I ever did when playing a bit of corp 20/20 and I had some good scores. Best results if you do it against shit slow bowling that doesn't turn mind you....</p> -

<p>Yeah Ingram was selected on the back of a good first class season, I'd never seen him bat before his debut and when I saw him, I couldn't believe he had been selected. Literally planted his feet and hit through the line.</p>

A slightly less-fat Jesse Ryder?</p> -
<p>Ryder was technically pretty good. Had footwork for starters. Comparing Jesse to Munro & Ingram is like comparing Lara to Ken Rutherford.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Munro had a few stints in the UK, was WAAAAY off the pace 4 day level even for the 2nds & got a decent gig as a T20 slogger. Which is his area.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He can probably pull in $300k a year just playing T20 in 5 different places for the next 10 years. Its not a bad area to be in...</p> -

<p>Ingram was the guy you select when you've had a quick flick through the cricinfo averages and you can't afford or be arsed to actually go and see him play. He must have had an eye like a dead fish, because his set up would have to have been one of the worst I've seen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Selectors hoping to pull a rabbit out of a hat with little regard to the likelihood of success.</p>
