Sir Why You Little

Just watch the game right now!!! A complete shambles, even Warnie is Twittering his discontent at Ponting's captaincy. Sorry but he has no idea how to set a field, & Hauritz is bowling crap-& you say that i am Ranting!!! HaHa B)

So tell me this?? Why wasn't last summers matches in australia used to blood new talent into the Test side? Perfect opportunity against the Paki's. Why keep playing North, Hussey & Hauritz when we all know they are either not up to it or past playing. That series last summer was almost a complete waste of time. The fact the series has been tainted with match fixing makes it even worse sadly The MFC Blueprint is exactly what the ACB selectors should be doing, and for the last 18 months have done very little of. Maybe it is time for the coaches & or selectors to face the media in the same way the AFL coaches have to do win lose or draw. Like the AFL umpires the ACB selectors appear to be a protected species which i think is wrong. This is not a problem that has only been circling for weeks, There has been so much warning & there is talent playing in Australia that is not given a chance at test level. eg. White, C.

Well for a start i would have played Smith in this series. Hussey's career is over, he has been great-But its over. Hauritz is not an option IMO but the selectors think otherwise, Maybe its 20/20 ruining the Test game, but we just pump out the same side series after series. Play more kids, get games into them-if we lose we lose, but at least we learn more about the talent pool in Australia.

i am talking mostly about the selectors in general. The same problems have been going on since the last tour of india. And that was nearly 2 years ago!! it's time to actually DO something. The selectors are just like the People's Front of Judea in Python's 'Life of Brian' film!!

So what?? The team has been the same for 12 months, we have an ashes series coming up in weeks, and a middle order that has not fired all year! Why is hussey playing FCS Why isn't Smith being bowled?? Sure we might lose, but at least new players are being exposed. At the moment we are losing anyway. Do Something at least. The same players keep failing.

Smith should be playing. Hussey should retire before his average goes under 50. North making a Ton yesterday may have cost us the Ashes. Ponting continues to be a great Batsman but his Tactical skills are very ordinary. So much for G S Chappell making a difference to the selectors.

I grew up near Beaumaris, and think it is really sad that Pub is gone-during the 70's & 80's in summer that joint used to pump on weekends. I drove past a few months back, and was just stunned it was now dead-Primo spot for sure.

I hope the MFC is very thorough in its analyasis of the Bentleigh club before any decision is made. I like the Bentleigh club but it must make a profit, otherwise we will Fall over again. I personally think the venue is too hidden-I would prefer a premises closer to a main road or shopping complex/strip. But i trust our board to get it right.

Clarkes run out stuffed us. The pitch was fine.

What an amazingly sad way for the gunners to go down, but still a good season regardless of the next few weeks.

Shucks thanks 45!! We are hated but never as much as chelsea or ManUre!!

Its been a cracker year with half a forward pack, and half the budget of the other top sides. Respect to Arsenne i say.

Considering our injury list, it has been a mighty season.

you should get in touch with Jimma, he would be inspired himself by your own story mate. Good to hear you are fighting fit for the new season apart from all else-we need your voice to help rock the 'G

Vics have just declared 639 in front..Time for the kill

That is a top effort from Pup Clarke after the shameless Media Circus that has followed his every move. SHAME CH 7 SHAME. I have always had my doubts about clarke but the next 6-12 months might be the making of his career. North turns it on just when needed. Go the Big V put those Banana Benders away....

Pity that finger is Broken right now...

Yes i know that but overall we have blown too many finals in all types of the game for my liking. We are talking about the Big V here!

Sweet.....

Tassie were 5-18!!!! Cool, what did they make all up?? The Vics better not Pillow in the Final, there has been too much of that over the last few years.

S.K.Warne sure rates him Highly so he should be given a crack for sure. We need new Blood.

I'm with you T.U, at 5 down we were GAWN!! The coffin was slowly re opened and excavated from the ground, Go the vics-with half a side we can still win. Fingers crossed.

How depressing..that little [censored] back in the spot light...it's just wrong.

2 Pakistani cricketers under investigation for Match Fixing the recent Sydney Test Match. This could be a massive story...Cricket is in trouble sadly.

He was on the decline by then!!! i gotta look up Charles on Wiki-that is a sad Tale!
