Well, I have never been so embarrassed to be an Australian cricket supporter. Almost ashamed.
Having watched both press conferences I know who came out looking more credible, and it wasn't that bumbling ******** who calls himself the boss of Australian Cricket, or the muppet alongside him...
No, of course you wouldn't.
Hussey's form has been very good. Credit to him. No hiding from the fact that he was given more chances than some other "champions" have been given in times past though. He was dreadful for a year or two and it cost us dearly. I would have liked to see him bat...
You're right. Was a time not so long ago we had openers falling out of the trees (Hayden, Langer, Jacques, Rogers, Katich, ...). Now most states seem to have recycled goods from other states who are probably never going to cut the mustard at this level. Hughes & Warner are exciting, but right...
Haddin's last 12 innings have produced an average of 18. Even that includes a futile 55 not out when we were murdered by an innings and plenty by the poms. Not good enough. His 'keeping is not that good that he can get away with such poor returns at the crease.
Johnson likewise is being...
Don't think I was having a go at your selections, nor am I suggesting Hilditch would commit sabotage on his way out. What I am saying is that after having established a reputation for sticking with players past their best whilst denying others a decent opportunity, Hilditch now seems intent on...
Well, since the squad has been announced and nobody else is going to comment, allow me:
Seems Andrew HIlditch is determined to go down fighting now that he's been told his time in charge is coming to an end. He has rolled the dice and launched Pat Cummins into Australian calculations based on...
Hang on, there's something not quite right with this ... oh yeah, the 'keeper won't be a New South Welshman! And nor is Marsh. Better make a couple of adjustments and get it right - I'm sure you can do better;)
Great venue, Pallekele.
Daily issues with weather & light, crowds were pitiful ... making it an almost entirely forgettable Test match.
Can't wait till we play there again!
Just so you don't think I'm taking a Vics-only angle here, I'll put it on record that I do not consider Siddle a leading candidate for Australia's ODI team. He is not in it, and nor should he be if others are fit. For that matter, I don't believe Hastings is amongst our elite either. He is...
Whilst I agree Hussey is still an invaluable ODI player, the decision to include him is so contrived. Bollinger out, Hussey in. What the? If we expect pitches conducive to pace come the finals, we are going to be in trouble.
Once again, the selectors have admitted they got it wrong by not...
It seems moderators/administrators are the most conspicuous by their absence since the change of format here. Can anyone explain?
I can't really say the skin or layout have much impact on whether or not I make use of the site. I'd pretty much stick with it if it were plain text in black &...
You would say no to Hodge, but put him in the side anyway. He can't help his age, nor is there much that can be done about his perception as arrogant. If you were that good, I'd forgive you for being a tad satisfied with yourself, but that's a luxury that can't be afforded to anyone other than...
I don't intend to spend the rest of my life harping on about what should have been, but these cracks were evident ages ago, and CA & selectors chose to ignore them. We were exposed against lowly Pakistan a year ago, but because they laid down (deliberately or otherwise), we were all prepared to...
