| I do think that this "PLAYER FORM vs PLAYER FAVOURITISM" is what the selectors and coach have to really sit down and clarify the reeal meaning of both words. PLAYER FORM = match wins PLAYER FAVOURITISM = lost matches |

| I think he has been given a long grace period because he had an extraordinarily long and successful purple patch, and he has experience in these conditions...but I have a feeling that this will be his last series, if the runs don't start flowing...he might even get dropped mid series. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why would you drop a bowler who is performing with the ball and the bat when a recognised batsman is failing on a regular basis? (Mr.Cricket) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Katich is out... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Whilst that is true nev, you cannot justify dropping someone who is in their prime (i.e. Clark) for the sake of playing someone who MAY get better as a result of the experience, can you? If Haurtiz bowling doesn't improve then I would play MJ, Clark, Hilfy and Siddle but I just can't see it happening...I think personalities play a big role in selection and Lee is a popular figure around the camp, hence why he is in the squad and hence why I think he will play in Cardiff (Ponting loves him)... |

| What have I been missing? My sister called to confirm that I am gardian for her 2 pride & joys and then the argh no excuses for not following the cricket. |

| Hes ready full stop. Back to the game - 0/79, 4 runs an over and 48 of them in boundaries thus far today. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| He will only gain the experience he needs by playing these big games with experienced players against experienced batsmen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes, Hilfy does swing it both ways, but a lot of the time he bowls "banana" swing, the ball starts swinging very early and really good players can adjust...Siddle and Johnson swing the ball much later, hence why they are more successful. Hilfy also hasn't quite nailed his line and length yet...he bowls too many loose balls. Don't get me wrong, he is a very good bowler and would get in to just about every other test nation, I just don't think he is quite ready yet... |

| about farkin time. he should be stomping it out at training in the nets like nye states | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Australia coach Tim Nielsen has delivered his troops an ultimatum - stop bowling no balls or it could cost you an Ashes Test. Nielsen was furious his players were called for overstepping the mark 22 times in 80 overs during the four-day match against Sussex county in Hove on Friday (EST). With competition so tight for bowling spots, he admitted it could make the difference at the selection table before the first Ashes Test on July 8 in Cardiff. |

| So weve had some play at least. 0/56 2nd dig. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Take your spamming and shove it up your ar//se along with the rest of the social diseases that inhabit it!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Here we farkin go again and the farkin useless moderators do not work over the weekend so we will have to either put up with this sh1t or go over to NINEMSN sports site. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Seems that theres a few out there that are forgetting also that Lee has ALWAYS had trouble with the no ball situation. Its not like its a problem thats just arisen. More alarming is that its been there all along and he hasnt been able to address for it for extended periods - in any form of the game.So having a go at him for that is nothing new or hardly productive. Mind you, i would be inclined to have a go at him for the no balls problem he has at times. But thats a thread all in itself. |

| Henriques 54, Krejza 25 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Will be no play today. P1ssing down all day. It's Glastonbury w/e so inevitable really. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Be interesting to see how the Paki-A team bowlers are sending them down also. Shame the local TV stations are broadcasting nothing but the death of that yank child molesterer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jeeze loki airds and raby? That is a harsh comparison. Dont know what part of Townsville you have lived/stayed in but where my rellies live fantastic. I can't afford to live there but the rich sods can. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Would be great to see Henriques really excel in this game. Guy has a load of talent. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Nope. Been home all day. Still cant talk. And yeh, Cairns aint exactly the French Riviera either but at least its closer to the Daintree - which is a positive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Vogues is out and Henriques is on 48 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Did you have another cr@ppy day loki? Cairns is far worse than Townsville. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| C'mon Nev, the place is a sewer. Its the tropical equivalent of Airds or Raby down here. |
