Is that it HT? Good quiz mate, good idea too.

Sure did.

They both debuted at Etihad Stadium

Newton and Sidebottom

Yay! Haha I refused to not get in there!

Both born April 84!

Both wear number 1!

Should've been using stuff before! Uh oh Fitzpatrick and Bail?

Green, Davey, Jamar?

Both have a number in the 20s. Both were drafted in '03? They have both been in the leadership group? They are both tattooed... (Clutching at straws!!) Some sort of birthday similarity. (What are the rules for this game?)

Pps beta not cheet!

Is it an open quiz? Are answered PM'd? Full of questions!

Hrmm Worried that he wasn't guaranteed a long-term future at the Dees but understands it's a year-to-year proposition.

Not as much as you underestimate the loss of: Hayden Langer Martyn Gilchrist Warne Mcgrath

More ludicrous outbursts. I'm sure no great Australian cricketers retired at a similar time as Buchanan retiring from his coaching role...

I had just turned 20 when I joined. We'd just lost to Port in that gutting match at the G (free against Neitz, deliberate against Rivers 30 minutes into the last in our defence when we're 5 points down HA) and I needed an outlet to vent about this and that. My first post was a diatribe aimed at one recently-joined Hawthorn player.

Mmm... I'm sure you've got some research, some stats, to back that up... Playing against youngsters before that series, Krejza took 0/199 in 31 overs. He took 12/358 in his debut...India made 441 after inexplicable brainfades against the debutante. Jason had figures of 3-199 before 5 batsmen (literally) gifted their wickets to him. It was one of the more bizarre half hours of cricket you'd see. It was the most runs ever conceded on debut. Not quite a low score overall. When he finally got a gig in Aus (after injury) he took 1/204 against South Africa for the match. They chased a world record 414 in the fourth innings to win. Hauritz came in and did a much better job, all round, than Krejza would be capable of.

I'm surprised they were let on the flight.

How in the world do you figure that this would be a good time for Clarke to take over the captaincy? How's last summer's 11 coming along?

True. If only you were selector he could have brought in...umm...yeah...

Given that our president is the head of the Reach foundation, I couldn't see us dismissing (out of hand) a talented young player because he used to have attitude problems.

Clarke out in the last over of the day! Crushing blow for the Aussies.
