Little Richard

Christoph Waltz has already been nominated for an Acadamy Award for his role and I think he'll get very close to winning it again.

Just saw Django Unchained and it surpassed all my wildest dreams... everything's awesome except for Quentin's Australian accent.

Lawless is great, Guy Pierce really makes you hate him. Shia leaves a bit to be desired though, as per usual and Tom Hardy is yet to play a bad role. Have you seen Warrior?

Never seen, any good?

Something I saw recently that really impressed me was Donnie Brasco, Al and Johnny Depp make a surprisingly good combo.

Not a fan of Apocolypse now to be honest but he was pretty good from what I saw.

Definitely, it's Coolio who does the soundtrack on Colors yeah? Haven't seen it but sounds promising and I liked Goodfellas. In other news I ordered Easy Rider via Itunes the other day but for some reason it doesn't play so I feel like I've been swindled $14.99. Getting into Dennis Hopper recently so I've also been looking for Blue Velvet, heard it's worth a look as well.

Penn is great in it, very evil. Ah yeah I forgot about that one, the trailers looked alright and RZA should be interesting. Speaking of Penn I watched Colors a few weeks ago which also stars Robert Duvall and Don Cheadle, and that's a really great movie.

Well prepared. You aren't going to wait all that time to see it are you!? I recommend Gangster Squad too, saw that the other night. A bit over done but if you like intense action it's quite entertaining!

Anyone else extremely excited for Django Unchained, Tarantino's latest creation? Comes out Thursday.

Has there ever been a social game of cricket between the demonlanders?

Round 1 - pick no.2 Michael Clarke (Aust). Phenomenal year, and he'll keep doing it in India and England I think.

Do we compete with some kind of points system or is it just a drafting game?

Fair enough, some bold calls there though I think

Is that a greatest XI or something along those lines Biff?

Taking Johnson to India, let alone England would be disastrous. Nowhere near reliable enough and never will be; I see him as a stop gap for the time being until some of the others are fit. No idea about Pattinsons injury status but he should be spared the rigors of the subcontinent and saved for England. I'm really looking forward to seeing Bird bowl overseas - I can see him being effective in India and especially England.

Yeah I'm keen, sign me up!

I wouldn't back Watson to reclaim the opening spot and I think Cowan is the kind of guy who needs a bit of time to cement himself (not to mention work out how to form an effective partnership with Warner). There aren't exactly many guys banging down the door for this spot anyway - the only one who comes to mind is Finch and he's doing it in the wrong format of the game.

This is true, it was ugly to watch. They couldn't give him more than a slap on the wrist anyway for fear of damaging the ratings and crowd numbers.

I actually believe Watson's bowling is more valuable than his batting. Hasn't done it with the willow for a while and he is our most reliable bowler barring probably Siddle. Always manages to take a wicket when we need it and is understandably underused due to his body. Fair enough if he is focussing on his batting to try and squeeze out a few more years though.

Stemmed from Samuels grabbing Hussey in the first innings when he was running between wickets. Shane has really lost the plot, though he was really out of it when he was harassing Stuart Carlisle of Zimbabwe on the pitch in 2001, memorable words from Warnie that day.

Nope, forget Hilfy, he is done and the only thing he was good for recently was cheap tail end wickets.

Absolutely agree re Starc but deeluded is on the money imo; he is at the moment immature and undisciplined in his bowling and maybe to a lesser extent his attitude. Obviously you can't expect him to be the ultimate, disciplined professional at the age of 22 but I hope our lack of a real senior mentor figure in the fast bowling group (barring maybe Siddle although he is still young himself) doesn't affect the development of Starc and the other guys like Pattinson and Cummins.
