Haha, what a copout, guess McGrath bowled poorly as well when MacGill outperformed him?

Hodge blowed up the chance at while opening for Victoria today 
, obviously Hodge was trying to fill the openers spot in the Australian test team but he is awful form atm and i am happy that he failed so that pretty much means Jacques will open with Hayden in the first test.
Btw i am suprised to see that there is still confusion as to who should be Australia's next opener, i mean that after the amount of runs Phil has piled on in domestic cricket should have made him an automatic choice by now.

, either Hauritz, Heal or Danny Cullen would have been better choices than him.Must be a pretty good deck for the boys to get some runs in, hopefully they dont get too ****y because i got the feeling Gabba wicket will be completly the opposite in bounce, anyway i wish i was there watching this sanath innings.

Because they weren't selected for their state side.Btw, why have been guys like Rofe, Lewis selected for this team

BARNES OUT
I would be. Would pick Stuey Clark or Malinga for most wickets. Vaas will take like 5ish @ 40ish imo. Will probably make some decent runs though.

Cricket is still about "hitting the ball with the bat"...but the video analysis has def. helped both batsmen and bowlers target its attack much better. It also has helped captains set fields for ALL batsmen, incl the tail...and any team that does not use it starts at a disadvatage!Real shame it wasn't happening 50 years ago TBH.
BTW - video on buses?

Yes, this was Van Dorts first ODI in Melb....Mahela deliberately ran him out to stop him getting his 50...as MVD was going so slow and a fifty would've made it hard to drop him. The ploy worked as MVD was promptly dropped from the team. The allegation was so obvious, that Mahela copped a lot of flak - he even had to publish a retraction in the Daily News denying this alegation...this was mid tour - a highly unusual occurence.

SL are 150-0 in 35 overs vs ACB Chairmans XI in Adelaide, just after lunch. Sanath is on fire - 90 off 100 balls, incl 3 successive sixers of Bailey. Marvan is 48 off 116.

SL now 171-0 in 39 overs, Sanath now 106, last 50 in 24 balls
I actually think vandort could be a good ODI player that nite he was just nervous, anyhow looks like sanath is royally enjoying himself in this Warm up, good to see marvan straight into his no nonsence work in the field.
