As if!!! A victorian Batsman playing for Australia. It's against Hilditch's religion obviously!!!

 

Why did Haddin go for the Slog day 1 of a test Match, when a long careful innings is needed?

Todays players really don't understand Test cricket sadly. Too much 20/20 i fear.

Test players should not be allowed to play 20/20 in a perfect world.!!! Grrr

 

so.....who do you think will be in the World Cup side?

hope D Hussey and Hodge get selected as well as Binga and Warner will more then likely be in

I really hope they select a completely different batting line up to the test XI, Bowling is not so crucial.

This pitch today is a beauty, nothing wrong with it!!


hmm whats on 7two, dunno if i can watch this

"One foot in the Grave...." excellent British humour...i kid you not B)

Are You Being Served , Australia certainly are lol


Oh geez, Harris was terrible. Hilfenhaus was OK, but far too much rubbish overall. This Test is going to be a lot like Adelaide I think.

did Austin Powers help find his mojo?

apparently they found it in the nets last week!! How else could he be recalled??

South Africa all over the Indians early - 3/27.

My money's been on S.A. for a while, was "happy" to hear the Khan was out. Would prefer him in for the spectacle, however.


Interesting that he's been named 12th man.

Hardly surprising to see Beer not picked.

Doesnt matter whether Beer is 12th or 13th man!!!

Perhaps I should have elaborated. I said it was interesting, because he had been promised a start by the chairman of selectors. He'd also had all his family and cricket friends come over to WA to watch his debut call up.

Interesting !

Looks as though Punter had the last say.

India 9/136! Go South Africa. Steyn and Morkel showing Harris and Hilfenhaus how to use a new ball.

Finally, the criticism is being heaved upon our batsmen. Watson, Katich, Hussey and Haddin seem capable of playing against swing. Hughes, Ponting, Clarke, North and Smith don't. Funnily enough, the first four have all done OK so far this series, Hussey and Haddin especially, whilst the last five have hardly looked like scoring runs.

What does everyone think about this for an ideal Ashes side. No Hodge as he has retired from test cricket

1.Watson

2.D HUSSEY

3.C.FERGUSON OR C.LYNN

4.M.Hussey

...5.CAMERON WHITE

6.Brad Haddin

7.N.HAURITZ

8. Ryan Harris

9.P siddle

10. C.MACKAY

What ... no Mitchell Johnson.... ? ;)

Let's re-visit this, shall we WYL.....

5/69 what a shambles...oh well at least heads will now roll from the top down....

Hilditch and co must register at centrelink monday morning!!!

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.

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.

Oh dear......

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.

Hehehe You spoke to early HT. i threw out the bath water about 2 hours ago, .......

No I didn't WYL....

England 5/98 and MJ has 4 wickets ! Something about being optimistic...cricket being a funny game....cricket can deliver peaks and troughs.......

There. End of lesson.

Aah i see it has turned interesting-Been out all morning doing Christmas shopping. So Johnson has fired up i am guessing-Cool.

I still say the selectors need to go because of our rusty old Top order, but its good to see the Tail is having a red hot Crack.

Yes and it is a funny old game-and there will be more lessons learnt in the next 2 1/2 days.

Which is why i hate 20/20 so much. B)

Edit: Wow just saw a scorecard Johnson 4-7!! Wish i had seen that...Whatever Mitchell did in the Carpark last week must have worked!!!

Not suprised though after his batting yesterday...he looked hungry again..

Will the Poms Tail wag??

Edited by why you little

So should the selectors be kept for their selection of the lower order?

So who should the selectors have dropped and selected for the top order bearing in mind you have Captain and VC at number 3 and 4?

Very Sage.

Missed where its needed most.

Mitchell Johnson went back and worked on his bowling. He is hitting the crease taller and with more control. It's enabling him to swing and causing trouble for the batsmen.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
