Good, backing Ponting to do well in Melbourne. I see Warne was calling for his head as well.

I think there's a picture doing the rounds that gives you a thousand odd words.

bet you're the kind of person who will say 'he looks good' when he's on 14, and 'I didn't see that coming' when he gets out for 17

I like it. Ponting doesn't really deserve his spot anymore (Hussey still does IMO) but I still think he's more likely than Khawaja, who has been unlucky not to get a consistent run yet but has been pretty disappointing. Marsh out injured means I'd just play both, but Cowan couldn't have done a lot more in the last season and a half so he's a fair enough pick.

Why would these selectors be the arrogant ****wads?

For still not picking him. /flounce
It's just so illogical not to pick the guy who is Australia's best opener.

Yes it is quite annoying that Rogers isn't getting a game indeed; it's nothing new though.

You really think there is no impact of what happened in that brawl to his dropping immediately after Clarke became captain. Why else would Katich be dropped so unceremoniously from the team and denied a central contract.

Thing is though, it would look pretty retrospective if they picked Katich instead of, say, Warner. It'd be a short-term measure at best.
Either way would have merit but it's a crime either way. The crime was dropping him in the first place.

I'm assuming harris and bollinger won't be considered. haze to be last man standing.
*no worse than hussey right now, obv
One 36yo had to go. Even now they're too afraid to drop Ponting, Hussey just had his good series for 2 years and Katich was injured, so out of the team, and in poor form*. Pretty easy to see why Katich got screwed over. Worth noting Hughes killed it in the shield final which also played into factor.
