That pitch was awesome on day 4 and 5. 2 giant cracks running down the pitch. Siddle was terrorizing SA by hitting them over and over again. Johnson got Smith out by hitting a crack as well, otherwise he would have saved SA with a broken hand. You don't see pitches with cracks in them anymore.

No there hasn't, in fact apart from the troll on here there has been a serious lack of it. Unless you've got some examples of the threads been derailed with over the top England wumming.No its been happening quite a bit lately. Like during the Aus-Sri tour thread for example
doesn't make sense flying over wade for 2 2020's we don't care about? Haddin should playPaine and Hastings out of SA tour.

Hastings is gone for the season. Probably opens up the T20 job for Wade. I like Hastings, but I don't think he's anywhere near irreplaceable.
But he dun wannaHaddin should play
If Cricket Australia have the resources to fly a specialist wicketkeeper to South Africa, what does it matter?doesn't make sense flying over wade for 2 2020's we don't care about? Haddin should play
yeah doesn't matter, whatever they want to do. Just seems like a bit of a waste, though its usually a good idea to have a back up keeper on tour anywayIf Cricket Australia have the resources to fly a specialist wicketkeeper to South Africa, what does it matter?
Can't hurt to give a young up and coming player a chance to show what he's got on a big stage. Would make sense to give him a place in the ODI squad also even if he only played as a batsman.yeah doesn't matter, whatever they want to do. Just seems like a bit of a waste, though its usually a good idea to have a back up keeper on tour anyway
Why not have Wade as a back up on the ODIs? Get useless guys like Steve Smith off the team already. Haddin's form is a big concern plus Hastings is gonna be out too so Ferguson can come is in his place.yeah doesn't matter, whatever they want to do. Just seems like a bit of a waste, though its usually a good idea to have a back up keeper on tour anyway
I certainly want to see more of him so we can make a better head to head assessment with Paine.WADE.
That is all.
He's Victorian though, isn't he?Well at state level Wade has performed amazingly better than Paine, I've seen all I need. Wade deserves a go. Paine hasn't done anything at state level to warrant higher honours.
Wade's no chance, the blanket ban on picking Victorian bats would surely extend to 'keepers.
