Just take chips. Hauritz is playing.

Got some shapes you can borrow.

Looks like Bails Bailey is set to debut, based on some of the comments yesterday from the powers that be.

Gotta admit the bastard is doing everything possible with the opportunity he's been given. Don't like it, and don't rate ODI form as an indicator of Test potential at all, but he's probably inked his name in now. Hoping he can be as surprisingly better quality in Tests as he has been in pyjamas.

Fingers crossed the Indians keep belting Johnson around though. Shame the bitch picked up a couple of wickets - Invers will grasp onto them like a vice.

his first two spells were all you needed to see why he should not be playing test cricket

Why does Invers keep talking? Someone put Grandad to bed.

I've pretty much convinced myself on the Dougeh recall now. That's what I want.

7 Shield Players You (and the selectors) Should be Watching | Spreading the Ashes

Chris Lynn is deeper in this series than people may think.

Chris Lynn is deeper in this series than people may think.

The Australian selectors typically haven't been as keen on his as many thought they should've been - I recall a couple of surprise omissions from Australia A teams - but it's been so long since he scored Shield runs that it was an entirely different selection panel back when he was in the frame.

They'll probably play Dougeh on an Adelaide road as a replacement for someone who's injured themselves on a green Gabba wicket

Something they normally do to people from outside NSW

Surprised you didn't back that up with a scorecard from 1953 which saw NSW lose a contrived game containing three declarations to prove your point tbh.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

fair call. I ****ed up the other week, but as I said, I'd been in the middle of some night shifts.
I agree that people tend to 'break down' allegedly when they need to go to Adelaide to play and the selectors throw in a doomed prospect or in this case a possible Dougeh. I guess we'll see.

 

[Burgey]

I was referring to the last home Ashes series.
