Hodgey you Legend! Lets not go over the baggy green debate again!

Discraceful. Playing old never was beens in the 20/20 insted of proven 20/20 specialists. serves the aust team right! BL = terrible and will probably cost a good young bowler their spot in the ashes! Time to retire. Don't get me started about hodge!

I think mcgain needs more then 1 innings. A good wrist spinner is worth a lot more in england then on flat tracks in S.A.. Warne went for 0/100+ in his first test (not for 9 an over though). If Hauritz gets a game ahead of a straight pace attack or mcgain I may boycot the tour. I'm sure I have the selectors shacking in their boots!

Nth in doubt with a gastric bug, Mcgain has to play. If the selectors get this wrong we are going into the ashes with no spinner with any recent test practice which IMO is madness

Too late HT, the #1 ticket went long ago! The only thing that worries me is the old "Bringing the game into disrepute". His nickname is psyco for a reason

Where does that put england in the pecking order, below NZ+WI? Rough World standings....... - any thoughts? Aust SA IND NZ WI ENG PAK? SRI? ZIM

I think your being a touch harsh, haddin is a international class keeper who can bat. My biggest concern is still no specialist spinner in the side. Mcgain has to play the dead rubber as a lead up to the ashes. How good has it been watching johnson and siddle intimidate one of the "best" batting line ups on a "good" track. SAT night was one of the best sessions of fast bowling i have watched!

To suggest changes to india tours + 20/20 tournaments at this stage is over reacting a little IMO. I understand the dangers within india ATM, but it is not pakistan either. Lets face it, there is risk even touring in england this year so should we call off the ashes? We have seen the last international in Pakistan for a long time but I think india there is a different set of issues, some similar but still different. It will force a re-think as to travel arrangements/security but ultimately the show will and should go on.

Hows your left arm looking these days rhino, you might get a call soon! Maybe the aussies should be waring red and blue so the injuries make sense.

Great win, Missed this but a friend was telling me that siddle bowled 4 bouncers to stain in the 1st innings, followed by a "Get up you week ______" Great stuff for me, its been a while since we have had a fast bowler like this! Johnson for me is close to becoming one of the MVP in the world. Lets hope hussey makes runs in the 2nd test and we are well on the way. Great win but i still can't believe we went into the test without a specialist spinner. Maybe I'm just old fashioned.

Are you guys suggesting you would not like to see NSW stripped of the 20/20 flag? I agree its the shield that matters, but who wouldn't like to see NSW on the recieving end. Launch an appeal against their win!

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,2...91-2882,00.html Give us the points for the 20/20 final! Bird was the difference in that game IMO!

Mcgain has to fire if we are any chance. Our lack of depth in the spin department cost us the series. Although not having a baggy blue in the bag might cost him a spot!

I'll make the Call, We Are Home! (7/160)

1 run - Just as well or I might have lost all faith! What are we doing with players who are struggling at state level getting a game, yet a bloke who has dominated all year is left as 12th man? Would have something to do with the Aust. A side (AKA blues) playing victoria in a shield game? Something smells funny to me.....
