Biggest tremor I've ever felt in Melbourne, keen to know who strong it was!

Depends how the bowlers develop. If you have 3 quality seamers, and North becomes the real deal at 6, you don't need Watson (awaits hell to descend for saying that). Play McGain as a front line spinner with the three quicks, and North as a back up spinner.

Edit: hope no damage to anyone or anything in Melbourne. Mainly coz I'm going there for work in a week or two.

4.5 it said on the radio.

 

[Furball]

Why not just ask Watson to become a batsman good enough to hold his own in the top 5, and if his bowling's a more than useful part time option then great?

An inferior version of Jacques Kallis.

 

[Malleeboy]

4.6 tremor and lasted for a while too.

For everyone talking about the Melbourne earth tremor. God how surreal was that? Sitting on the couch and was worried a plane was falling out of the sky or something totally illogical was occurring.

The one a few years back (2006?) felt a lot worse, in my area anyways.

Serves you right for living in Melbs lol.

4.7 intensity earthquake felt across Melbourne and Victoria | Herald Sun
Here we go. 4.7 on the Richter scale.

That referral was a joke. Rauf is rubbish.

Also, does Hughes now get the run? Seems so, going by his score.

In a way I'm kinda disapointed that I'm in Ballarat tonight. I've never felt an earthquake before.

Partnership records by Australian openers in SA

Moving up the list, best effort by an Australian opening pair in SA in many decades.

Great effort but the bowling's been poor.

Hopefully this is the beginning of many a prosperous partnership between these two, until Katich retires.

I have felt a few over the years, but this was the longest by far. Something to tell the kids one day "I survived the Melbourne Earthquake of March 09".

Understandable mate.

Minor on the Richter scale.

Cullinan still ripping into Hughes. How about talking about how **** your bowlers have been, ****.

The fact that he can make so many runs with the **** technique they're describing is surely reason enough for them to question the tripe their bowlers are serving up. Morkel should not play another test match. They must have someone else they can develop. Really tall players are a waste unless they have a good action or a brain like McGrath.Morkel lacks in both departments.

Or how **** he was when he was asked to aim up vs Australia. Hughes has scored more in 2 digs v SA than Cullinan did in a ****ing career against Australia. **** he is.

Well played Katman.
