abc radio spruiking for peter nevill as next keeper said his shield batting ave, gives him the nod

thats why its so hard to judge our team atm after 4years of rubbish its great to be winning but how can you judge our improvement,if any besides MJ against a team thats so inept as the poms some people will say its our dominence thats killed them,but im not sure about that theyve just melted and not given us any test whatsever

yes ,we seem to have hit a good patch after some very very ordinary cricket hard to judge us at the moment havent seen anybody predict the poms would lose the players and form they had for 4 years trott=sadly not impacted on tour swann=embarassed himself by accepting a contract and pats on the back when winning, cook=no show for the summer bell=after 3 hundreds last tour has fallen on lean times prior=completely lost all skill in 3 months broad/anderson=little impact compared to last 4 years bressnan=no impact at all very difficult to judge us on this summer,roll on springboks

dont under-estimate the loss of kallis i watched the last series against india and his bowling was an important option for the skipper thier batting line up looks ok the bowling attack can be lethal, the indians did however score against most bowlers,my only question on thier bowlers was the fact they delivered a lot of unplayables,but not many long tight spells like sids and harris our spinner may start just ahead of thiers on his tighter spells of recent

we'll either be competitive or we wont.??? your next word might be strayya

same been watching SA vs india SL vs PAKIS much better entertainment

as nash says,wow your right opinions are like [censored],bravo and yes i am a proud cricket supporter,if you could read you might gather that,or get nash to help you form an opinion my last sentence makes plenty of sense ,you just cant read your own posts #5665

you finally got 2 things right 1/its my opinion hes a backstop 2/performance this series hasnt been to bad at all interesting you couldnt hold your breath long enough

always wondered what it would be like if somebody held thier breath,you can go first seeing as you proposed the idea. see you next year maybe just going back to your post maybe im reading the wrong thread,but so far in this series,i havent seen to many knockers of lyon or haddin most people have been complimentry of thier cricket watto,as usual has copped a bit,because under pressure,he just doesnt cope and so far in his career has only made minor contributions when the heat has been on so,as your post suggests,should people all stand and make apologies for your comfort?or should OUR opinions be our opinions, make apologies,pppfffft year 6 at school finished ages ago,for most of us

lyon is definately the interesting one so far this series he hasnt put a foot wrong made breakthroughs every time quite strange hes taken a 100 wickets and overcome a few hiccups,yet on the radio they dont espouse his efforts this series as for pup,still cops it from ponting,hayden,fleming and a few other ex players but now we are winning it seems to cover everything said about him. winning does excede all other scenarios so PMAN,who has knocked haddin this series,or for that matter talked him down this series? been watching the SA vs india series and noticed steyn,morkel and philander all bowl a good nut per over , but they dont seem to bowl lots of long tight spells like sids,harris would also back lyon over rob peterson

yes,your right he is in with a chance for the allan border.wow how exciting for a batting backstop,event will be life changing for the whole country i dont compare it to other non aussie keepers,thats not even close to being a fair judgement but i can understand other non cricketing folk that compare statistics in the hope that it makes the game understandable to them you are still counting simple chances that keepers are expected to TAKE your definately still using his batting figures to pump up his station as a keeper. maybe the hydrolic hose {watto}needs you on his bandwagon to make him feel needed also.

its not the ordinary catches that all keepers should take its the ones they miss,and dont make in this series hes made one and probably not made one,i mark that as even as for his batting ,no argument from anybody so far

we need to develop a batsman and real quick clark,watto,rogers,wont be around much longer it takes about 35 tests to learn all the pitfalls,and this is what happened recently when we failed to inject a younger player for the good of the future,

the nose ring makes her acceptable but a tramp stamp would be icing on the cake

your right big boy that thought never entered my mind smart thinking by the boof and clarkey and invers and marshy maybe our footy club could use this strategic nous

expressed my thoughts on AOAA terrible decision for the team,lyons mates in the squad must have been devastated to see him dropped after being our best in the indian homework tour everybody,including boof said they knew AA could bat,if so why pick him at eleven yes macca ,its all sport and only sport, im just disappointed in the number 3 son not tractor driving and stopping me watch this series btw,im itchy if that makes you happy

wow agreements left right and centre the current bowling line up hopefully ensures cummings,pattinson and starc get another 20 shield games under thier belt and more professional experience to lead the future attack dont know about doug the slug though,would rather pick CN as he may be on the SA tour been on the tractor most of the summer and only catching some highlights,but would not like to go back to old stock bowlers now.

sorry macca ,may a thousand fleas invade my armpits credit to all involved{is that enough} we have the most consistent bowler in the world for the last 4 years{sids} we have a number 7 who is making mince meat out of average attacks{hads} we have a dwarf who has added backbone to the top 4{chrissy} weve had a non spinning spinner who has been performing very well and im glad for him{lysa} and a first time 4 test result bowler {mitchy} all in all the oppo{poms}have self incinerated and wrongly so so a big thumbs up to us{aussies} would you have picked AOAA in the first 2 tests in england?

i dont hate but players not liked would be.watto,top of the list it must not have been written clear enough as always its pretty simple ,people are saying boof has been the turnaround of the team my response to that is everybody not me,but other happy campers on this site have said boofs the man.but his selection in the 2 most important tests in england were pitiful,so no arguments from me whether boof is the man or not,my only argument is if hes the man,then his decision in the first 2 tests in england were tragically WRONG but some people still love AOAA,its just thier dream i suppose

interesting people are patting boof on the back this is the same bloke who dropped lyon for an untried /non shield wicket taking/non spinning/number eleven batsman in the first 2 ashes test in england,yes the very 2 tests that ultimately sealed our fate over there,the very same people who screamed that we could have won the ashes IF those first 2 tests went a different way so after dropping the best performing player from the disasterous indian tour for those 2 tests in england ,lyon is now brought back into the team and has been an incredible success now that the poms are in a corner curled up in a feotal position sucking thier thumbs,watto the hydrolic hose ,comes to the party against bowling attacks short of power, bit late for me he was slated to bat at 6 a couple of years ago and moaned in the press that he couldnt bat at 6.where he should be at least. against steyn,philander and mokbel our top four will battle and then smith and bad back will be under immense pressure to retrieve the situation,if not then we are back to relying on our number 7 to get us out of trouble AGAIN dont over indulge on the boof drink,its false admiration at best

maybe clarkes back was playing up and he had to bowl first petersons shot in the first dig was pitiful for a first class player our top four is still weak as puppys water

clarke=bad back made him leave the ball pick 7 batsmen =covers all weaknesses watson=cant be dropped ,to much value to opposition with his sookyness as i said earlier winning covers all cracks but nothing covers the total stupidness of the last 2 tours

so do most of the team but winning overrides everything bit like batsmen wearing keepers gloves really, the press quickly forget the unanswered questions from the last 2 tours but it is special when he tells us he loves playing for strayyya

imagined there was a warney revolving door at crown somewhere perhaps they sipped a cocktail made famous by long legged lizzy gone are the days when DK,TOMO,PIGGY,and a host of batsmen would stay at the nearest pub until stumps with local drunks buying the beer and listening to chappellis take on the poms now its cocktails,shirts with collars and horses douvers

a DRUNKEN MUB IS A DRUNKEN UBM good on the door staff for not letting drunks spoil a night out for other patrons doesnt matter that they just won the ashes, that the attitude that puts people of sporstmen,easy entry have a drink card son
