It is actually spelt Hilfenhaus but not to worry just thought I would bring it to your attention.

You'd play McDonald before Haddin? Swap 'em around IMO.
 
Re: Changes for the Third Test

yer mcdonald before haddin cause haddin allways scores quickly cause he plays his shots from the start
 
Re: Changes for the Third Test

and i think that bollinger may get picked over hilfy cause the game is at the scg and he would be more familiar with it.
 
Re: Changes for the Third Test

Good tip from Jolldo. I was impressed by that. I didn't think the selectors would go for McDonald, they've been, well they've been one eyed idiots without any originality lately.

I'd personally go for Hilfenhaus, I'm a big Hilfy fan, but Bollinger is good and is a good chance of getting the gig.

It would be the most sensible order, no point playing McDonald at 7

Why wouldn't there be a point? He'll get a bat all the same. Haddin is a better batsman then McDonald.

Haddin is a different batsman to McDonald.

At the moment no one in the middle order excluding Clarke is digging in and playing a solid test match innings. McDonald will try and stay there instead of playing like Haddin and going for balls that should be left.

Regardless of who is a better batsman i don't want to see Haddin at 6, he is too irresponsible and is more suited to coming in at 7.

McDonald is averaging 50 over the last 2 years batting at no6, its where he bats, Haddin bats at 7, why change the order just because you dont rate him?
 
Re: Changes for the Third Test

Also Haddin has the ability to bat with the tail and make runs with them. I don't think that is something we want to give up.

Hilfenhaus very unlucky yet again to be carrying the drinks.

Playing Bollinger at his home ground is the right choice though, some home-ground knowledge will always come in handy.

Whats wrong with North??

Watson is out injured, and Symonds is injured / out of form.

If Hayden does not announce his retirement before Sydney he should be dropped for Rogers or Hughes.

Can't go with North.
Not in the same league as Symonds, Watson, Mcdonald
McDonald, White would be a hell of a lot better choice.
but the selectors have chosen mcdonald and bollinger, good on em

Hayden still in, could have something to do with a FORD commercial...
it is a disgrace, he has avg'd 21 in his last 10 innings, and he's not getting any younger. His last test will be my guess.
Will not go the South Africa, Will not go to England...
