Douherty, though has refused to accept defeat, and promised to make a return.  “It was a little disappointing but probably not a huge surprise. I think I did pretty well last year but some of the feedback I got was they would look at some other options. I think I have given them the chance to do that. If I had of bowled as well as I possibly could have last summer then I don’t give them that option. I left the door open, more my doing than their selection policy I guess. If I’m bowling at my very best I feel I am Australia’s best option and last summer I didn’t quite do that. I’m pretty confident I can get back there.”, the spinner told News Limited.
