[Demolition Man]

End of Dussey's career - failed despite a golden opportunity and he's in his 30s

Get a younger player in there

Well I think the same could be said of a few players, but hughes should probably be in there ahead of dussey now.
Some Pressure has to be on Haddin, white and hopes also...........

Clarke, symonds and watson would be in the side minus injuries, if these guys want a spot in the side they need to make a score when they get a chance. Perfect opportunity for white or hopes to score a big 60-80 odd.

 

[Evermind]

I'd get McCullum in there. Looked useful playing for New South Wales the other day

Piece of ****.

I believe it was "lump"? Someone please confirm.

 

[Athlai]

Clarke averages 43 in the last 3 years, so with all due respect .....

Uh all but 2 of those guys average more than that and they average 2 less with a SR of 20 more.
With all due respect and I mean with all due respect that idea ain't worth a velvet painting of a whale and dolphin getting it on.

Since 01 Jan 2008:

RT Ponting 480 @ 28.23 SR 79
MJ Clarke 490 @ 30.62 SR 62 (DJ Hussey 263 @ 37.57 SR 97)
.

Those are indeed shocking. Especially Clarke's. Never expected his SR was this abysmal. And his average in the 30s indicate he gets out at the wrong time, after consuming deliveries.

Turn on the TV, see the lineups and scorecard. Itstl.

Good bowling or diabolical batting?

 

[Demolition Man]

**** you know its bad when they are calling for heals to pad-up in the commentary box.

 

[Evermind]

I feel a little sorry for Aus. 7 of the top 8 enjoy watching them fail.

If it means I wouldn't have to listen to him I'll start a petition to get him back in.

Some good batting..... some careless/lazy shots and some solid consistent bowling IMO.

Outfield appears to slow up just before the rope, 260 would be a par score I would think.

 

[Athlai]

Would like watching both SA and Aus fail TBH supporting the individual players more than the teams in this one.

Ah, also wondering how we're expected to defend anything under 300 with the attack we have right now? Really hope someone steps up today.

 

[Zinzan]

This is ridiculous, dead set fuming here. Gave up going to the beach with mates to watch this ****.

At least you won't get sunburn

Haha, fantastic film.

Can SA wipe the tail for less than 220

Richie Benaud observed that there is some water logged due to which the outfield is slow early on but predicted that it will only get better and better with the hour. Not good news for Aus.

 

[Flem274*]

I swear Aussie have disguised some NZ openers as Australians.

They've just got Michael Papps on stilts thats all...

Gutted Mussey didn't gun it.

Ahh that would explain it.........................crap

Sometimes in the last 2-3 months I've felt some sympathy for Ponting, but whenever I read my own signature, it just vanishes.

Injuries have created opportunities and it's disappointing to see experienced players fall short of the mark despite perfect conditions all series and playing a South African side that havent been all that flash of late either

I do have sympathy for White because he is ALWAYS played out of position but guys like Dussey and Hopes etc just dont look up to it

Given the vacancies in the test team, I'd prefer to see them blood a few of the younger guys who are performing at fc level (i.e. not Warner) to give them international exposure and attempt to create a base for the future
