Anyone for cricket?

Bet he will be lucky. He shouldnt be in the team. Its the selectors fault. Especially Greg Chappell.

Seriously all power to him. When Australia needed fortitude in this series he has delivered in spades. Its a pity others bar Haddin have not backed him up.

And is Michael Clarke our next Test Captain? I dont this so. And given his bad back, I cant see Clarke even bending down to pick up the bowling run up marker let alone bowl a ball.

I like Hussey's attitude. I admire him for it. I'll gladly raise my hand and say prior to the Ashes that he was just about on the cusp of missing selection (for he probably was in many people eyes), but what Hussey has is what many don't have. That fighting spirit. Like the way he loads up with 30+ and zinc cream as if he's about to spend a week out there in the middle. He can grind out an innings when things are tough, much like S.Waugh before him. It may not look pretty, but it has teeth. Whereas the more fancied beautiful stroke makers don't seem to grind when in need. And wasn't I glad to see the back of North.

As for Clarke, he'll gladly bend down to pull up a new pair of Bonds. I'll leave it at that. :rolleyes:

    Victoria beat Sa last night, thats a good distraction and after Mackays bowling vs England, would he be a shot of replacing either Johnson or Siddle if they fail?

    What about Quiney's innings ! 100 odd off 60 odd balls or something like that...awesome display. Hodge this morning said it was one of the most memorable innings he had seen.

    that was very very impressive effort, hope we can pick up the slack in the Shield, any idea who the import players for Bushrangers in 20 20 are?

    Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water just yet WYL. Whilst Hussey is still digging in and England still have to face the music (I hope it's music to our ears.... :rolleyes: ). There is two innings to be played too. I'm obviously an optimist. Cricket has always been a funny game delivering peaks and troughs.

    PS. Your pick after Rogue in the Draft which is taking place on the other thread.....please take a look.

    I admire your optimism HT, but with our bowling attack i cannot see it.

    I wonder what Mitchell Johnson will dish up. Will he be switched on or not Bat and ball. Since the stoush with his mum he just hasn't been right.

    Forget his mum. That would be the last thing on he's mind playing for Australia with his career on the line. Or so you'd think, anyway.

    He just needs to put his best foot forward. He has been wayward previously, but he can take wickets. All four bowlers are arguably in the same boat.

    I think he's retired from Test cricket and wanted to concentrate on the shorter forms of games.

    yeah his bowling seems to really stuff up his shoulder.What about forgotten players Bracken,Jacques,Macdonald?

    4 overs from Tait might still help us out at the moment, i think that is all he feels his body can give.

    Bracken - I don't think the selectors feel he suits Test matches. Better for the One day/20/20 game.

    Jacques - has a good Test average. The forgotten man really. May get a look in... ?

    McDonald - Injury cruelled him after some excellent innings with the VICS, still returning to the VICS soon I gather; rehabilitating.

    Which is not enough for Test Cricket.

    according to the website he is staring with the bat in the Shield with an average of 94 in the matches he has played(macdonald)

    I know it's early and it's probably a silly call by me, but just watching Hussey's body language, that fidgiting around like he has ants in his pants. I'm tipping he'll dig deep for us...again.

    It's such a pity this post was on the other page for others not to see. Once again the man is digging deep in a crisis and Haddin is by his side...again. Hussey 59 not out.

    Told you WYL...never throw the baby out with the bath water.

    Hussey gone , can we make at least 250 now?

    Short lived. Always the way when you give someone a wrap live....out for 61. Still, he dug deep when in need. Whilst others continue to struggle.

  • Quote

    Argh, Hussey just went out. To Swann. And we don't have a spinner.

    Smith is not good enough for no. 6 and thus shouldn't be in the side.

    Hehehe You spoke to early HT. i threw out the bath water about 2 hours ago, that said the Australian Top order should be ashamed, the way Haddin and Hussey played those boundries the pitch is not to blame.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
