This....


I have a feeling they are gonna open with Henriques and Haddin, anyways great time to be a young and talented Aussie cricketer atm, because the selectors are gonna pick you in the Australian team, whether you deserve it or not is a whole different all together.

FMD hey, how about reading.

 

[Johnners]

FTR, I had read it the first time, and think it's a Joke he's even been selected for the T20 team.

 

[Prince EWS]

lol people not reading

I read it eventually. I just reacted first.

Opps...

But still makes no sense for him to be picked for the T20 team either.

 

[Precambrian]

Cop out

In seriousness, it's a dire selection.

It's not that bad - apparently highly talented, an all-rounder, it's only 20/20 and he is good enough to be worth a few hundred thousand bucks a year in the IPL (and we know how good they are as judges )

 

[Sylvester]

Thinking of IPL maybe that is the reason they picked him due to fear of losing him to IPL/ICL.

Has already signed for Kolkata on US300 k per year

You can't lose players to the IPL. One of the greatest myths in cricket.

I read in MX today that Ponting said there won't be (m)any changes, and he likes the stability of the current team, so almost zero chance of Henriques playing.

 

[Sylvester]

That would be talking about the ODIs, Henriques is only in the T20I squad. I don't see why they would pull him from the NSW Shield side just for experience in the Aussie side.

 

[Nate]

From the squad minus Clarke, would choose

Hopes
Haddin
Ponting
Dussey
Voges
Mussey
Ferguson
Johnson
Bracken
Siddle
Hilfenhaus

Why is Clarke out? Injured?

AWTA. Their contracts are strictly valid only if allowed by their domestic cricket boards.

 

[Johnners]

With 5 bowlers (including Hopes), Ponting might be able to bowl Huffenpuff out before the last 10-15, which is where he's been the worst.

Hey Nnanden, can you please read the "The worst person in the world" thread in Off Topic, it needs some Christian input.

 

[Nate]

[inbox24]

Hmm back niggle, I wonder if it's like a spine, disc or bone problem, will doing deadlifts and hyperextensions help?
