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.
Mate, it was only three or so years ago...

No its been happening quite a bit lately. Like during the Aus-Sri tour thread for example
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.

How about going back for the reason I was given 7. Just keep the England discussion out of threads which don't concern England.

doesn't make sense flying over wade for 2 2020's we don't care about? Haddin should play
If Cricket Australia have the resources to fly a specialist wicketkeeper to South Africa, what does it matter?

Australia have more chance of winning the Twenty20's with Matt Wade in the side over Brad Haddin. Regardless of the format I much prefer to see Australia winning

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

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.

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.

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.

He's Victorian though, isn't he?

I'm happy for him to play, provided that means no Siddle. Australia never goes well when there's more than one Victorian in the side.

Murphy to confirm.

Wade's no chance, the blanket ban on picking Victorian bats would surely extend to 'keepers.
