    yep agree with alot of what you said. Paine way well be a better option than wade, but i wouldn't be surprised if the selectors opt for haddin as back up. For me its Harris or Bird... I really liked bird against sri lanka, but you are probably right, Harris has given them a hard time in the...

    My 17 man Ashes squad; Half what i expect, half what i wan't. 1. E.Cowan - despite what statistically will say a poor tour for cowan, i believe asides clarke, he showed the most determination and pride to play for Australia with regards to the way he went about his batting. Personally i...

    South Division 2012/13

    dale played 2's against brighton district, went out for a 2nd ball duck, and got cheap wickets at the end when batters were going for a slog. Based on his performance today cannot see him making a massive impact in 1's. Port beat brighton today in the 1's, Daykin dominated again. Although i...

    and Haddin would have to be on his final life you would think? with a deep tail, we can't carry a poor number 7, has never really delivered against the good countries, is a big worry for mine. I have no faith in him any more. Only good when we already have 300 on the board. Bring in Wade.

    exactly right, the team will be unchanged going into sydney, they wont risk Watson, and no one deserves to be dropped asides Haddin. Im trying not to get to far ahead of myself, but that was a huge result for out team. The bowling attack has come on in leaps and bounds this calendar year and...

    Hodge was extremely unlucky not to play more tests, lets not beat around the bush here. He averaged 55 over a decade of shield cricket. If he was from New South Wales he would have played alot more. Those saying our unbelievable batting depth... well i recall Marcus North a couple of years ago...

    picking Christian to bat at 6 is suicide in the test arena, sure he offers a bit with the ball, but hell he averages 25 in first class cricket, with only one century. He is more suited to limited overs, if we bat christian and haddin at 6 and 7, we are fu**ed. Hell mcdonald is a better option...

    Khawaja is beggining to look very over rated. Is clearly out of form and has only scored one 50 in 6 test matches. Hughes has scored may more than him in the last 6 test's. I think his technique is one that will survive in test cricket, but is lacking confidence. Ponting just made back to back...

    if only mitchell johnson turned out as planned, then the bowling all rounder idea was solved. What a shame. Haven't seen much of Marsh as a bowler, but from all reports he is a good one. I always thought he was more of a batter though. I agree with you on Watson, although if Warner fails...

    the future is beginning to look rather bright, base the team around cummins and pattinson, look like absolute jets. in 2-3 years time, we should be back where we belong, Our bowling stocks look very promosing as to our all rounders and keepers, the batsman remain a question mark and with...

    Fair call, although russ did make a 100 on the w/e. My spread opinions hmmmm. I did not rate Melbourne Grammar's in the slightest there tea especially was extremely poor, wesley had an allround quality spread and tea and lunch devo we played haileybury at home and same with geelong missed out...

    dockery is an absolute taco, papa is the only one in the wesley team that can hold a bat, rest are very poor. Wesley certainties for the spoon.

    Tom Kittson from caulfield has taken 4 wickets on three ocassions now, and has got 18 wickets in 3 games since coming into the side, fair achievement. Buchanan from geelong grammar seems to be getting a fair few, taken a few 5fa's i think, but loves to bowl himself. Tight Season. Papadopolous...

    between 4 teams now. Geelong Grammar, Geelong College, Xavier and Caulfield. Caulfield bounced back from a 4 run loss against brighton, to smash wesley outright. Caulfield play xavier and geelong college in their final 2 rounds so they will play a huge part in deciding who wins the premiership...

    i would say no to hodge cause of age... but considering the world cup is around the corner and he is the best domestic bat in that format i think he should be given one more chance to prove himself at odi level. We still are arguably the best odi team in the my team would be this, and also my...

Does ponting come back in? if so for who? Will hussey retire from test cricket, i have a...

    lets get rid of the doom and gloom on this board, yes we lost the ashes but we have genuine raw young talent coming through the ranks. There are some really young batsmen who are showing real signs at state level at the moment, Chris Lynn(20) and Nic Maddinson(19) look like 10 year+ batsmen...

    maybe you should read what i said, there is no current player in our side that is worthy to captain australia, its as blunt as that, clarke has never stood up when needed, there is a clear lack of cricketing minds in the team. Now as i said i think Cameron White is one who is an exceptional...
