With Siddle unlikely, and Hilfenhaus still out, a pace spot opens up. If the selectors are desperate to ensure we win, they should pick Stuart Clark. But if they want to choose someone with an eye to the future, they should pick Clint Mackay.

My team for Perth:

Watson

Katich (subject to fitness)

Ponting

Hussey

Clarke

North

Haddin

McDonald

Johnson

Mackay

Bollinger

My team: -

Watson

Hughes (Katich if fit)

Ponting

Hussey

Clarke

North

Haddin

McDonald

Johnson

Bollinger

Mackay

Tait shouldn't have retired.

 

Interesting to Read Rodney Hogg's Coment in today's Hun...I totally agree, it is time for Ponting to go as captain/

He is a great Batsmen & fielder but his captaincy record particulairly when fielding is ordinary.

In 4 years time i want Australia to win the Ashes over there. Now is the time to start planning,

we have the Talent in this country to once again have the Number 1 side on the Planet.

Playing a bunch of 35 year olds who will be 39 in for years time is not the answer-enough of the Boys club....

Read the article..Rodney makes some very interesting points....

Ponting could well be Captain in 2013 for the Ashes.

So you are ready for a 3rd consecutive loss over there are you?? Cause i am not.


I ain't no teacher...yet.

Did you see the stats for fielding first a few pages back? Reckon you'd be interested in them.

Yes i read that with great interest actually-keep that stuff handy as i am sure people will want to revisit those in years to come.

Doesn't change my position on Hogg's article though. Australia's Test side has stagnated, and with the amount of talent in the country there is no reason for it.

For the sake of the Long Term Side, i really hope the Windies win the last Test, & the Pakistani's give us a real fright, otherwise the selectors will continue to do nothing. I want to beat those Poms over there in 4 years.....

Of course not. We should have won that series. You can't put that down to Ponting. Alot of the performances left alot to be desired.

By the way, can you explain this sentence of yours ?

Dont get out of your depth now......

I guess that's Ponting fault too.

We have come off the back of the retirements of extraordinary talents like Warne, McGrath, Gilchrist, Hayden and Langer and what have we replaced them with and what is there within Australian cricket to replace them? Capable cricketers but they are not of that calibre. In fact we dont have a front line spinner at all. Our batting at No 4 has been ordinary and Hussey should not see Test matches past Christmas. But who is staking their claims for for those spots.

Why are the selectors continuing to play Hussey? Makes no sense at all.

I am agreeing with Hogg's article, and i bet my house i am not the only one.

There are better cricketers in this country than the selectors are giving credit-now is the time to be Bold not conservative as if we draw a series against the Windie & even lose to the Paki's nobody will ultimately care.

Of course not. We should have won that series. You can't put that down to Ponting. Alot of the performances left alot to be desired.

That was a Typo error, i concur it was rather cryptic

Said to my friends on the trip that Gayle would make 150, happy with that one.

Very enjoyable match. The 'beer' on offer - not so enjoyable.

Spied Neita, Febey, Ward (i think) and a number of the old guard relaxing down from the pavillion.

Cryptic ? So his captaincy and fielding is both "great" and "ordinary". Is that sitting on the fence, or what ? Which is it ?

I'm jealous.

Ponting's Batting & Fielding are great-no arguement.

His Captaincy in the Field particularly is cod ordinary...I agree with Hogg's article...

Lucky Man, i will get to adelaide for cricket one day...

Iain O'Brian - 5-4-3-4

Wow. Pakis 5-51

Iain O'Brian - 5-4-3-4

Their scorecard reads 44*, 9, 6, 0, 0, 0. 3 consecutive ducks from the middle order.

They need Younis Khan back so badly. And he's not in the squad to tour Australia.

Mind you, they way we've been bowling to the Windies, there's no stopping the Pakistanis from finding some form here.

It was great bowling.

Southee and Martin squander the new ball that was moving off just short of length. They repeatedly overpitched.

O'Brian comes on and bowls just short of length on or about off peg with the seam high and bang look what happens.

Good on him.

Mind you it does not bode well for Pakistan. Both openers do play away from their pads too much. The lack Younis's class.

Can't say I agree RR, I thought it was decent bowling but most of the shots were so unnecesary as to be laughable. He hardly bowled a ball that wouldve hit the stumps and should have been treated accordingly with patient batting. Yousuf's dismissal as a case in point

I take it he must be injured or something ? If so, what type of injury.

The first 10 overs were a little mundane. The wicket and the ball were doing a bit but they bowled too full at times. O'Brian bowled a better line than the first 2 and goty amply rewarded. Probably too much. But yes the batting ...the batting... :rolleyes:

I think Younis had a falling out with Paki management and refused to tour. I dont believe he was injured.

Apparently they can't find him

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
