    ... of course thats plainly obvious... his strokemaking is a pleasure to watch, the balance & rhythm. Thats why I wonder, if he could use the protection of wickets around him, allowing time to construct an innings. also I think he played better against their so called pace attack, rather than the spin. so going in earlier May help our run chase? It may actually take away some pressure to rush.

    I think I heard on good authority, he's called 'Ed'..... especially after Pattinson makes him his bunny.

    My dad, when we were up watching a young Pat Cash arriving on the international scene back in the days, he wanted off to bed in frustration with Cashy, thinking its all too hard. he went to bed & missed the rise & Win. needless to say where Cashy ended up. some can see it, others, my dad couldn't...

    I think thats what they're doing, but I'd hoped before the test for the about face. With Watson + Cowan & Rogers at 3... but I think they want to get Rogers up 7 going in the No2 spot, with Cowan hanging on as backup opener @ 3 in case something goes astray. Khawaja hanging about, but I wouldn't make the change until watson & rogers look strong together. I'd like to see Khawaja in the middle atmo, to get a feel for it... prior to promotion.. he needs to get some test runs into his head first...

    thats why imo he's at 3

    he's the bowling cornerstone that we have... he has to play all tests. 1st picked.

    I think at this stage, after the past 12 months, its all about our players getting to feel 'insync' with their games, & with their batting positions in the side... personal rhythm gathering, & the net gain in feeling good, & confidence. It looks good so far...

    I feel the same, other than Siddle... although Clark is closest re batting, but is really vulnerable in his health.... so I wouldn't count on building the new team, around him. .... the new 'Vibe' with 'BOOF' at the helm may change things Up, & it will be interesting to see who responds.

    corner stones... IMO you Have to have corner stones, siddle is the corner stone in our bowling, & we have to have a corner stone in our batting, & ideally one in our fielding as well. I think 'Punter' once held that mantle in batting & fielding. IMO the corner stones hold the team together, & make all walk straight & tall.

    ... the driver; maybe from somewhere near Castellammare di Stabia, wishing he was a Sea Captain of a Cruise Ship... most likely from europe, or a contiki driver our Contiki Bus back in the 90's, sideswiped another Bus on the hairpin turn of the Monaco Grand Prix track...

    Its good to hear they got it out. let the front tyres down to lower pressure, to lower it, and gently reverse it back? pump the tyres back up, and away you go-go.

    I couldn't find the Full batting order anywhere, only the one you posted,,,,, so I wasn't totally convinced I was reading it correctly, or if Hughes was elevated in the 2nd. what is Faulkner like; do we have anyone alike an 'Alderman' (bowling) ?
  20. dee-luded replied to Whispering_Jack's post in a topic in Other Sports
    Macca, what was the Aussie batting order for this game? where was hughes picked to bat? # ... was hughes promoted in the order in the 2nd dig?
  21. dee-luded replied to Whispering_Jack's post in a topic in Other Sports
    Macca, I hope Hughes doesn't bat early. If 4 & 6 are open,,, & Hughes plays, please don't play him in the top 4... play him at 6 then? I'd like to see as much grit & reliability in the top 4, rather than hit & miss fast runs. nothing against quick runs but not at the expence of instability. I'm sorry Warner is out, as I think he could bat at anything from 1st drop, down to the middle order.

    Yes, I think they were trying to turn the Aussie Cricket Culture into something foreign... a smile & laughter is the best remedy for stress & confidence. I expect much improvement. Win??? I also wonder if BOOF will be good for Mitchell Johnston's career down the track. I reckon the way CA was trying to turn the Round Aussie peg, into a square keyway'd precision tool. It's not us. .... In a way they've been trying to turn the Aussie team into something like Melbourne.
