Qlders (Hopes and Symonds) to do it again for Australia

 

[andyc]

Has to be Hodge's last ODI surely.

Yeah, it'll be an outrage if he gets selected again.

 

[Mister Wright]

Yes!!! Symo now and its all over IMO.

Famous last words.

Although you have to get him first.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

True, do you read "Inside Cricket"? Latest one has an interview about Hodge, and how he was "born to wear the baggy green".

If you don't believe you were destined to wear it then good luck.

 

[SJS]

He's very good at these stumpings isn't he? Spectacular.

I would love to know who he talked to in England.

At the beginng of that tour (in Ireland) he was as bad as ever. Somewhere along the English leg he was transformed and he hasn't put a foot wrong (almost).

Someone told me he was seen talking to Stewart for long time but I would like to think he talked to some other keepers there too.

Engineer is another who he talked to extensively in England.

 

[Mister Wright]

Yeah, it'll be an outrage if he gets selected again.

For sure. Pretty much an outrage he was selected ahead of Haddin in the first place.

 

[Johnners]

No, I haven't. Who said that? Hodge?

Yup

 

[biased indian]

Yes!!! Symo now and its all over IMO.

AWTA...but can we

 

[pup11]

Aussies need to target RP and they shouldn't leave too much do in the last few overs, btw Hopes looking far more comfortable compared to Hodge.

 

[andyc]

AWTA...but can we

Not necessarily. Hopes, Hogg and Lee are all no mugs with the bat. Would still be fairly confident tbh.

 

[Mister Wright]

Yup

Lol. That's up there. The next whites he should be wearing is a straight jacket.

 

[pup11]

Does anyone think Aussies are planning to open with Hodge in the next test they are going to play and that's why i think he has been given so many chances on this tour??

 

[Johnners]

I certainly hope not.

 

[Mister Wright]

Me too. Maybe he could play as the spinner.

 

[pup11]

Aussie needs to push it now because they don't want to be in a situation where they require too many of the last over.

 

[Mister Wright]

Big wicket!!!!!!

 

[pup11]

**** what a dire shot was that from Symonds, he might very well have thrown away the game there!

 

[The_Bunny]

Could see that coming a mile off,
But good knock anyway, game back in the balance

 

[eglezdzdiyd]

hopes will quite easily do this for australia. He's a better all rounder than watson and he's showing it right here.

 

[pup11]

Hogg gone and this is dire!
