Phil Jaques, what the hell was wrong with him? Imo, he is better than Katich.
North achieved alot in South Africa aswell though.I never fully understood why Hughes was axed after all of two mediocre tests in England given what he had achieved in SA.
Got injured at the wrong time, and hasn't captured his form in Shield cricket yet. He's been really unlucky, but needs to start making runs again. Ideally you'd have Rogers up top, but I just can't see them going back to him.Phil Jaques, what the hell was wrong with him? Imo, he is better than Katich.
I reckon if we are any chance to win the Ashes we need Punter away from three. I never feel confident with him these days.North achieved alot in South Africa aswell though.
Regardless, his time is done, thank goodness. I think Hussey would be suited to six. Anyway, we'll talk about it after the Test. Hoping for some Smith runs.
Just he got injured at the wrong time and when he came back from quite a long lay off he started slow. Needs a flying start to this years domestic season (I'm talking averaging like 75 plus to get his name up there again).Phil Jaques, what the hell was wrong with him? Imo, he is better than Katich.
If he does that I'll put him in my avatar for the rest of my time on this forum.Clarke seems like he's doing really well here. I expect him to score 150.

Really would be a sight to see if he can solve this no ball problem. He doesn't seem to have a consistent run up that can be repeated and so taking the mark back a yard will merely shift his jump forward one step. He has such a brilliant action, it would be good if Waqar could help him get his run up together.This really is a fascinating contest here; Pakistan have some magnificant bowling talent - even an out of touch Gul can produce the odd jaffa at good pace.
Do you mean his off cutter? I haven't seen him bowl a leg cutter before.Aamer has a nasty legcutter. Bounces quite alarmingly.
Yes, thatDo you mean his off cutter? I haven't seen him bowl a leg cutter before.
Cracks opening up is not a good sing..Yeah and with the cracks opening out... Kaneria will come into play.
well from what I saw of him yesterday..he was pretty disappointing.. and Kaneria has never really won a test for Pakistan against tough opponents (top batsmen) like Australia, India or South Africa.I absolutely hate it when captains have no confidence in their leg spinner. There is nothing that makes a leggie more ineffective than a captain that doesnt back him.
