Sorry but after that last spell, I dont even think it's open to debate

I'm with Spikey and cannot believe that people should be surprised to see him bowling rubbish when he's done absolutely nothing to suggest that he has improved
Seriously mate.. you need to look at Shield records over the last five seasons and then you would realise that Hilfenhaus has been one of the most consistent quicks in the country through that period, there are things like use of crease and mixing up deliveries that he can work on but his basics are strong and the amount of time and effort invested in Siddle or Johnson would have been much better served on him.

India are gonna be pretty ****ed when Dravid, Laxman and Tendulkar retire.
Yep!!, and the crazy thing is with a young batting order we had TWO 100 run leads against them on their own turf, so lord knows whats gonna happen when India don't have those guys to bail them out!! :D .

When you get married do you think you'll be able to slip in a mention of the West Indies cricket team into your vows?

Clarke needs to realise that only way wicket is gonna come is by bowling Pattinson and Hilf in tandem and keeping it tight from both ends, Siddle nor Lyon look like they are gonna have any impact in this innings.

As for the game, well already it's looking like India's to lose from here, they are just in total control, the Aus pacers don't look that dangerous and Lyon is looking totally ineffective, he hasn't got any tricks up his sleeve and when you consider that the indian batsmen are facing Ashwin in the nets on a daily basis Lyon isn't gonna be much of a challenge, in order to unsettle them you've got to be able to hit their pads a few times which is exactly what Bishoo done to Tendy,

This is Lyon's first game against a side who can play spin very well but yet Bishoo has spent his whole career thus far facing Pak (2 tests), India (6 tests) and Bang (2 tests), i wonder how many wickets Lyon would have had if he started with those set of fixtures?.
