Don't mind Pup, he's just one of the Ja(c)ques spelling Nazis on the forum. Same with the Clark/Clarke thing.

I won't be surprised if Mohnish Parmar makes it to the squad.

Agree with your first XI, but I'd replace Ojha with Chawla/Mishra and Munaf with RP/Sreesanth (unless both are injured)

Oops, my bad. Still a legitimate post though, cause I broke off and covered multiple topics.
He still needs to prove himself amongst all conditions, he is Australia's opener, he needs to know how to bat in South Africa, India, Pakistan and England, as well as Australia because we have the majority of our tours here or in one of those country's.
I need both.
But summer is coming in, which is great, more Cricket, can't be a bad thing!

Whatever it takes!!!
well.. tbh, there are still a fair balanced members either side, and I do think the trolls dont exactly outnumber them as yet...
I guess we all did get a bit carried away in that thread though..

Will they have the Review system for this series? I really hope so. Can avoid all sort of controversies which marred the last series.

I hope not to be honest, especially for LBW's.
IF the batter has hit the ball I don't mind, but I don't like it on tight decisions.
Like if the ball is clipping leg stump, I really don't care if the umpire and the review system gave it not out.

Yeah, but what if it's shown to have *just* pitched in line? Agree with it then?

Just pitched in line and gone straight and just nicked the stump? No.
Just pitched in line and came in/out and hit middle or the inside of the leg or off stump? Yes.
Just pitched in line/just off line and just nicked the stump and not playing a shot? Yes.

Agree. LBW referrals should be streamlined,
Decision of 3rd umpire should be limited to whether bat was involved. Maybe the "pitched-in-line" aspect also can be checked.

Irani Trophy
Dravid to open alongwith Jaffer? HT says so.
It also says Ganguly was dropped to accomodate a 5th bowler.
NDTV says it was coach Gary Kirsten who wanted Ganguly out.
What's with SCG and coaches?

Remember the last time Dravid opened with Jaffer? For the love of God, no, never again. The most painful opening to a series since Steve Harmison's infamous wide.

painful from spectators PoV but in the Irani Trophy it would make sense as it is a nice opportunity to check Dravid's form and his suitability for the test series against Australia [vs someone like Kaif's for example]
GIMH
Norwood's on Fire
Haha, so true, if he averages 500 in this series, a few years down the line "Ponting wasn't as good as [blablabla] because up until October 2008 he averaged 12 in India, he's so **** and he looks like a ****in monkey!"
Agree with the last bit mind

Haha mate nobody said it wasn't legitimate! Stop talking about the quality of your posts every third post as other than that you're going okay (Y)

Dravid is a terrible opener, and should not open, as he himself has came out and said he dislikes it in the past. Jaffer is a good batsmen on low, slow pitches, in Pakistan and India. He has made a few scores there, and if he plays this series, that's what I expect again.
So what do you Cricket Webbers think Australia's line up should look like? With spinning pitches, and low bounce, I think we need a front line spinner in our line ups.
1. Hayden
2. Jaques
3. Ponting
4. Hussey
5. Clarke
6. Symonds/Watson
7. Haddin
8. Noffke/Spinner
9. Lee
10. Clark
11. Bollinger
However I am not sure what spinner to include, because Casson is young, and inexperienced, as is Dan Cullen. I am leaning towards giving Bryce McGain one series while the younger spinners develop further. If Symonds goes, and plays, it is possible to name Ashley Noffke in the side, and have Symonds and Clarke doing the spinning. Simon Katich is another possible option, batting from 6 (or opening, 3 or 5 - he is very versatile) and prociding some handy spinners.
