Top 5 domestic players who could come into the Australian Test squad

#3 Chadd Sayers

Sayers has the ability to swing the ball late

There was a huge outcry when Joe Mennie was called up to the national squad to replace Peter Siddle at Hobart. In spite of Mennie topping the wicket charts in the previous Sheffield season, Sayers’ ability to swing the ball at will made him a better candidate, according to pundits and fans.

He came into the limelight in the 2012-13 Sheffield Shield with his ability to swing the ball late. He topped the wicket charts and was South Australia's player of the season. A call up to the Test squad came in 2016 when Australia toured New Zealand but he remained on the bench.

In 46 first class games, Sayers has 184 wickets at an average of 23.8 including 10 five wicket hauls. That he is one of the best swing bowlers in the domestic circuit is without an iota of doubt. But why he wasn't selected earlier will forever remain a mystery. Surely his time has come.
