Exactly, with the majority of their batting lineup being in form (Symonds and Hussey) being the exception then it seems like folly to shore up their batting by having Hodge bat at #7.
With 2 out of 6 out of form, that's putting a lot of onus on not very many players, since you're relying on 4 of them in that case to score the runs...

Bandara hits McGrath for a big 6 and Pidge as usual is muttering to himself.


I would really miss his shake of the head once he retires.

Not really, because any Aussie forum member worth his salt remained on the forum and were extremely gracious in defeat - the ones that just disappeared aren't really worth talking about anyway...

I think Tait is being criticised a bit too much considering that he doesn't have too much experience of playing at this level
Yet at the same time you go over the top by comparing him to all time ODI greats after such a few games.

Can't have it both ways.
