at least we have hope and future poor old cards13 who follows cycling has no hope no future and retrospective doping to worry about enjoy the 3rd test everybody and watch out for the smartalec warner to upset the poms

eddie betts has settled and controlled the koori boys at cfc and made sure they are looked after and resettled with least amount of problems as can be perhaps adavey can do the same for us

speaking about leadership. warner, the little pigface could end up being the one. he has that attitude of I might be wrong but lets do it anyway, and hes got that smartalec attitude that will upset the poms and every other team. also we need a new start so without a leader on the horizon he could be the fill in that adds spice to the team for 3 years until new leaders appear

deluded. bobby simpson was still playing grade cricket in nsw when wsc started and the acb needed an older head at the helm we had a bad team and I would rate it worse than what we have now,so a LEADER was injected to develop and nuture new team ethos dressing room rumours have been proven many times in the past , going back to tiger oriellys day.its just that the press and former players don't want to krap in their own nest that stops them from writing about it as for how did we get here . well the main selector was walking his dog on the beach instead of being at a test match. this gives rise to the theory that the skipper is in charge of selection as I wrote earlier ponting wouldnt scrub his old mate hayden and it stopped a new player getting tests under belt for the future.in fact hayden got 10 tests to many. then punter went for backstop for batting strength and not wicketkeeper after the famous changeroom fight he backed MC and the kat was banished. unfortunately they got rid of a leader and kept a gimp

yes macca , and steve Waugh didn't shine with the bat until he played a few tests same with boony at 6, until he earnt stripes it takes at least 35_40 tests to get your position down pat, and atm we haven't been willing to let players do that. that's why losing 5_0 might be the catylist for a general overhaul don't wish it , but think it needs to happen to justify the big knife

your right imo , but they are still in love with goldenballs and wont stand him down as skip

I think its to late for kat a rebuild of the rebuild looks like the only way to go

you gotta believe our own timmy wada sounds bad , but our own timmy sounds much better cant help but salivate in the thought of smashing them by 100 points for the next 5 years brings a smile

cant see any first class mid that would not be jumped on by GWS and get big bucks so we wont attract one unless hes a gimp. we will have to use our p2 on a kid

yeah that's what I thought btw on the leadership issue, not that I may know anything about it my dad always gave the advice of ,:would you follow this man into hades through the gates of hell " and the easiest answer of that question is . RP yes.SW yes MC no but you can only answer that yourself .so on the leadership issue would you follow MC

my worst nightmare has arrived, have to go and face the boys at the newsagency tomorrow and explain our inept performance THEN TALK ABOUT NEEDLES , GOLDEN BOY. BOMBER.AND RATS DESERTING SHIP. OH HOW WILL I SURVIVE SPENDING THE MORNING SPEAKING ABOUT THE POOR BUGGERS my life will be full of gloating and predicting the future doom at the poor old bummers. cant wait , loading ammo as I write

the music is about to stop and david didn't have a chair who is next

yep deluded. betcha MC would like to have a leader in the sheds with him right now

see post 583

thought it was embarrassing

you must have come down in the last shower mate top operaters always bring their own chair and never overcommit

I think this story was well known before that night my feeling is THAT night was the start of the scrambling for chairs

macca I think cowan has been overlooked by a lot of people, his technique is better than most in the team atm Clarke will stay smith gets another 3 tests at least warner will be back wade not sure he will be anything but a stopgap batsman interesting shield opening this year with a lot of players asking their skippers if they can bat in the top 3.knowing that places are open will generate a free for all at shield level

this story was written late august 2012 a lot of people knew about IT and started the running for cover I get the feeling without naming anybody that the big fella has already organised his CHAIR and the music is about to stop unfortunately , asada, accc,wada and other interested parties have experience in bringing their own chairs , so somebody has to miss out and its not gonna be them.so who misses out, mmmmm golden boy and a few cronies maybe

KYLE RIEMERS.his story has been written and wont go away

TD, no jack Iverson? macca, early eighties, Ogilvie,sergant, toohey

say it aint so cards this sport gets hammered every day, maybe they should declare it drug induced and take the innuendo out of it its very scary for future news on evans mckewan and others now seems the statute of limitations brings forward admittance after 10 cooling off period or retirement

his last 10 tests yielded 786 runs read the roar after he was dropped also google katichbinglesymonds btw I was talking about LEADERSHIP, not whether MC is a good bat good bowler good bloke or good tactician anyway the trouble starts now with warner making 196

have you googled katichbinglesymonds its worth the laugh just to see greg Mathews comments funny. mo Mathews katich,g Lawson,and stuey McGill, all from NSW and don't like MC

have always liked his game just think that lightning freaks should be given forward pocket roaming role and let loose plenty of clubs have one of these players and put up with the good bad ,ordinary its a risk area that's worth it,
