Hodge unhappy with the selectors

"The idea to be selected for Australia is to score runs isn’t it? And that’s what I’ve done," said Brad Hodge

"I think that if you look at the criteria there’s some guys in that side who mightn’t have done as well as I have. Unfortunately, that’s the way it is.”

"As I say, the criteria is to score runs and I’ve done that heavily for a number of years. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be working for me."

"Maybe I’ll play for Australia in lawn bowls in the future, maybe tennis, maybe rowing, I’m not sure yet," Hodge added.

"(I’m) not sure about cricket. I hope not but maybe if this sport doesn’t work I’ll try another one.”

"I’m available for selection. If anyone wants to ring up Cricket Victoria I’m sure my phone number will be available somewhere along the line.”

"I think they must have lost their phone, the selectors."
