Straight Sets Simon

Barrett just said rumours are that Caddy won't nominate a club because he is worried the fallout would leave him at Melbourne. Apparently just does not want to come to Melbourne.

Does Morton even have the potential to be any good?

Same as Jack Jack, wow. That was incredible.

What really annoys me about Haddin dropping that catch yesterday is that he was carrying on like an absolute [censored] after he took a couple of regulation catches in the first innings.

Does anyone else find T20 really boring?

The Wire is the greatest show I have ever seen. I have watched every season twice. I've watched little bits of Breaking Bad and Dexter, need to watch more.

The only stat that comes anywhere near representing defensive pressure is the tackle stat. In 2011 Jurrah averaged 2.3 tackles, hardly the worst going around. Yes, he could improve but so could 40 other players on the list. To say that Jurrah "NEVER pulls his weight for the team" is ignorant, disrespectful and wrong. Many of us here are highly critical of our own players, but to question a players commitment to the team like you did is just rubbish.

I'm sorry, but this is the biggest unsubstantiated load of rubbish I have read on Demonland in a very long time, and that is saying something.

"I want to have a competitive team..."

Not at all, just saying these things take time and to not expect too much change straight away. People here are surprised when players come back from their holidays and they haven't improved their fitness on the year before.

To be honest I'm not that excited by 2012. I think any changes Neeld makes will take at least 12 months to take full effect.

I rate Bail higher than Scully now. It kills me to think that we could have Rioli and Martin instead of Scully and Morton.

As a Captain and his attitude towards the game.

Daniel Vettori is my favourite player from any side in the world. He's a great bowler, solid batsmen and seems to have a great attitude towards the game. He puts Ponting to shame IMO.
