Yes my post was all tongue in cheek. Whilst I'm plugging for a Victorian I nevertheless do like Doolan and Ferguson.

Best you scan the list of contracted NSW players for potential selections Jack

Overkill is an appropriate word when you consider what's been posted on the subject both here and on other forums.

Really good signs for the Vics this season but strewth we still cop a lot of injuries - Holland & McDonald gone for the season.

Great day at the Gabba yesterday, really enjoyed watching Kallis probably for the last time and Steyn. Pattinson showed a bit, Quinney started beautifully and was stiff whilst Punter copped a gem. Morkel is a huge man and quick.

Very heavy rain in Brisbane this morning and still drizzling as I type. Prospects for play are quite bleak and the rain probably ruins any chance of a result.

Thanks.Cofirmed Duminy out of test and series with a torn achilles. SA now 3/255

Just heard that Duminy was rushed to hospital with an injured ankle following a post stumps fall at the Gabba. Sorry JP but it would help if you take no further part in the contest.

Every chance this one will be drawn if the track today is any indication particularly with the threat of rain and rain it probably will as I'm heading to the ground for the next two days.

We had our chances and Siddle not only dropped a return catch but failed to carry out a fundamental skill by dismissing Kallis with a no ball.Goodness me, how dumb. Pattinson was stiff as he had Amla LBW early but turned down by the incompetent Bowden. As you suggest we may be chasing some leather this summer.

Pattinson aside, the start by the Proteas looks ominous in terms of the series. I know it's only early days. Missing the Grieg/Lawry banter.

Andy Murray finally cracks a GS win - well deserved. No histrionics or arrogance, just gets the job done.

Couldn't agree more, Cam has been an embarrassment.

Three zip to the Pakistanis, now if the Saffers beat the Kiwis in the upcoming series, they will assume top position - so sad for the English in fact I'd like to see that !!

No matter how hard I try, I can't get into the game. Spent some time in the States where they are all fanatical, made no difference.

Maybe Noble Game doesn't like wet feet Redleg, good luck on tuesday.

Just what is happening in Dubai ? Pakistan all out 99, the English all out 141. England then had Pakistan 2/28 which has blown out to 2/222. Do you think the English may have been down to Ladbrokes for a flutter ?

The Redbacks really are a bunch of parasites - why can't they develop their own rather than pinch our guys. It started with Siddons and now there are 5 Victorians at least in their squad - wap.
