old dee

Well AoB he has put up another fine display today 4, yes FOUR! Summer average is now 18 and still headed south. a long time ago I was told you dead bat the last ball of the day no matter what the game position. He was the VC with his team in a tough position. Pure and simple he gave away his wicket. If you look at his long term average the big scores are against the weaker test nations eg NZ. The guy is a good shield player who is not up to it against the better test sides. Should not be in the test side let alone be the captain after his performances this summer.

Sorry AoB but he is a promoted beyond his ability! He should not be in the 20/20 side, every game his slow scoring holds back the team. A captain does not throw away his wicket on the last ball of the day trying a ridiculous shot. He should stick to selling second hand Astons and underwear. I think you have missed the new guy from NSW to replace Ponting, so that makes 5 out of the 11 starters is 45%.

I agree I was angry when I saw the team but what can you expect. Until there are changes made at the top it will be the same old story. It is almost 2011 and Australia has A chairman of selectors who is part time Oh please! WE have been beaten in every area on and off the field by the English I always judge a team by " how many of these players would the oppositon want?" In our team I came up with 4, Watson, Hussey, Haddin and Siddle. Not many is it. My new theory is this team led by a guy who has an average of 21 and laughs when we are getting done like a dinner will again get thumped. Hughes, Clarke, Smith and Hilfenhaus will be shown up as the imposters they are and fade away never to be seen again. I am actually surprised Hilfenhaus is in the team could have sworn he came from Tassie.
