Hodge gets the chop

Shane Warne and the Vics are stunned by the decision to drop Brad Hodge from the test team against South Africa. Some of my best friends are Victorian (no seriously, they are!), and I've heard plenty about the conspiracy theories against Victoria over the years (nothing quite gets them going as the treatment dished out to Deano in his last few years of international cricket - or rather, the ones that were denied him). This particular selection move goes into the evidence box for that claim. Gee, what more do you have to do to get selected?
