    Aussies Advising Umpires

    Like the not enough players in the ring in final one, which the umpires missed and were corrected by the Sri Lankan batsman. If they are unsure enough to be swayed by a batsman, then check and sportsman-ship crazed fools will have less to moan and moan about.

    Fergusson is not making enough runs. Playing on the road most of the time he needs to do more. What has Khawaja done recently?

    Surely not at the SCG. Must have a spinner in Sydney, unless the pitch has changed alarmingly

    Test XI Selection Thread

    There are obviously questions to be answered regarding our batting line up. I have a view, like everyone else, on Ponting, Hussey, Haddin and the make up of the rest of the order. The thing that is bugging me most now is the future make up of the bowling attack. Pretty happy with Lyon, and there...

    Hussey and Ponting are not the same equation. Ponting has dropped from number 3 to 4, where Hussey could no longer get the job done and Clarke was never able to. Hussey is batting WAAAAAAAY to low for someone riding on previous good deeds. 5 and 6 are a non-event compared to the task faced at...

    Ponting With A Century. Has That Saved His Captaincy?

    Let's make sure Sutherland isn't missed in all this.

    Ponting With A Century. Has That Saved His Captaincy?

    Best thing about failing in the world cup is the revview cant hide behind it. As to captaincy, stuff it give it to someone who deserves to be in the team... unfortunately for Australia there are only a couple of people who meet that criteria... Watson and um, er...

    Ponting With A Century. Has That Saved His Captaincy?

    I disagree Pretty sure if you think about it calling the decency of a person into question is a little heavy handed. I would take anyone ahead of Clarke, don't rate his batting or captaincy. I cannot understand that he was unquestioned as the captain in waiting for so long. With the lack of...

    I, in no way, intended to imply that there was strength in the batting. Far from it, I was implying that for no reason the batsmen seem safer than the bowlers.

    Ponting With A Century. Has That Saved His Captaincy?

    So he lacks decency if he makes a call that you don't agree with? Who anointed you the defender civility in these turbulent times where you may have to endure someone occasionally getting something wrong in a way that is unimportant to the point of being immaterial. But yes roll on Clark, I...

    My issue with the world cup is that it really smacks of who cares. That's not to say I don't want Australia to win, just that it is no more important than anything else and much less important than any test or test series. There has to be some satisfaction out of losing. Now the "review" of...

    How I would fix Australian cricket

    Dave Hussey is far from a terrible t20 player, out of form I'll grant you but the Australian selectors are not alone in thinking he can play that game (IPL???) You 2 points don't necessarily work together: 1 only allow players to play in one form of the game; and 2 pick sides on form Shane...

    Happy for beer to stay and even smith and hughes, if they deserve it. Possibly the most unhealthy attitude shown by the selectors in recent times is the way hughes has been treated. He was always going to be the next opener in irrespective of form. Smith and Hughes can stay, as I said, so long...

    Ashes 2010/2011: England in Australia

    Our batting is getting better????????????? hahahahahahaha. Even in the game we won we only managed around 600 in 2 innings. Lets not paper over the grand canyon size cracks in the batting no matter how bad the bowling was. We have just been beaten in EVERY aspect of the game.
