Incidentally, which finger is crossed, and what is it crossed with?

Kallis tucks into his pies.

The only part of your post that is guaranteed to happen.....

If Harris is out

Johnson (on the basis of what he did at the ground last time, and that he may finally come good)
Cummins (Sidds and Mitch are banned from playing together)
Copeland (need a steady hand on the tiller to counterbalance Mitch and Pat)
Lyon

 

[robelinda]

Pretty hard to drop Siddle and not Mitch, he's be on his very last chance you'd think.

Yep, assuming Harris is fit, thats what id go for. But it will never happen unfortunately.

 

[Pothas]

Well you can't imagine them playing all three of Siddle, Cummins and Johnson surley? Copeland would have to play if Harris is fit.

Harris to play and break down half way through the first innings...

The question now is: what happens next? The first thing is change, Khawaja for the injured Shaun Marsh, and on the circumstantial evidence of the nets yesterday, teenage eye-catcher Pat Cummins for Peter Siddle, not Mitch Johnson as expected. Captain and selector Michael Clarke, a Johnson man whose faith has been sorely tried, spoke in terms of a last chance.

So looks like Cummins is making his debut.

It's a sad day in cricket when an 18 year old with three first class matches to his name is a safer option than the 'leader' of your attack.

 

[robelinda]

Plenty of sad days ahead i think......think I'm a massive Copeland fan now.... can only imagine the run rate when Mitch and Cummins are spraying them.

Something unnerving about a **** who spends all day looking at videos using the words 'cummins' and 'spraying' in the same sentence.

Hope this catches on

 

[Spikey]

Oh FFS, don't start with that.

 

[Spikey]

Pretty much, MJ can't play in the same attack as anyone else.

 

[Spikey]

let's say Harris is out......MJ/Cummins/Siddle/Lyon



:o

 

[Ruckus]

let's say Harris is out......MJ/Cummins/Siddle/Lyon

Looks pretty dire to me. So much potential for mayhem there.

 

[Spikey]
