And to the surprise of absolutely no one, Clarke says no to the BBL.

 

[Spikey]

And to the surprise of absolutely no one, Clarke says no to the BBL.

Pretty impressed with Clarke and Johnson's gesture, BBL would have provided them with some easy money for doing just about nothing but its good to see that they are keeping their personal interests aside for their national team, would have been nice had some of the other senior Australian players done the same.

 

[Nate]

Bahahaha, as if. Clarke knows he sucks at 20/20 and Jonners probably just wants a rest.

 

[Spark]

Yeah I'm pretty sure they just want a break. Busy schedule and all.

 

[Mister Wright]

It's no big deal. They'd both only be available for one game anyway.

Sellout?

I find this statement of Hayden's impossible to believe:

“I love the Baggy Green, I love what it stands for, I love how it fits within the sporting landscape.

“However, short of the Ashes and the Indian summer from a Test match point of view, I’ve said for a large time that I’m largely uninvested in that particular competition"

So, after years of telling us how sacrosanct the Baggy Green and Test cricket is, he now tells us that apart from the Ashes and Indian series', he has little interest in Test cricket. I can't believe how cheap these blokes come. Waive some silver in front of them and their whole fabric changes. He's entitled to believe what he chooses about T20, but to diss Test cricket the way he has, in my view makes him look cheap and devoid of any real beliefs (given his history of telling us how much Test cricket means to him).

 

[vic_orthdox]

On the board of CA now, isn't he? Boggles the mind what's coming out of there...

 

[howardj]

Has now resigned his position, given his part ownership of Brisbane Heap (of ****)

 

[vic_orthdox]

Tom Stray over to South Australia too.

What's happened with Crossthwaite? Was under the impression him coming here to play Shield cricket was a monty but haven't heard anything more.

What's happened with Crossthwaite? Was under the impression him coming here to play Shield cricket was a monty but haven't heard anything more.

Heard over the weekend he's moving there to play grade and 'see how he goes' with regards to a Shield spot.

Heard last week he's still skipper at Manly is Sydney grade and was just going to Adelaide for the Big Bash.

Reckon he'll turn up in Adelaide.
