Rory ahead of Abbott is pretty disappointing. Genuinely thought that'd pull that pin on that one with it now actually being pretty important.
dunno, Abbott's pretty similar to Philander, isn't he?Rory ahead of Abbott is pretty disappointing. Genuinely thought that'd pull that pin on that one with it now actually being pretty important.
Howard is a ****.
Clarke confirmed, in the last 24 hours, that Watson will bat at first dropPHIL Hughes has been told not to play in Ricky Ponting's tribute game in Launceston tonight as he awaits word on whether he will join the Test squad for South Africa.
Near confirmation it will be Hughes replacing Marsh if the latter doesn't pull up then.
I don't think that Hughes would just slot in at number six like Marsh or Doolan could. I would be thinking either Watson moving to four and Hughes being at first drop or Hughes playing at four and Clarke moving up to the five position which IMO he's best at. If Doolan plays I suspect it will be at four or six.
Will make it as a batting allrounder obviously.Copeland no chance of ever getting into the squad under Lehmann as he doesn't bowl around the 140 mark.
um he just did. the bowlers not getting injured, not being under 25 and not bowling 50 overs a game are why they played 5 tests in a row.Howard is a ****.
Lehmann saved his arse
Imagine if Howard was in charge...would never have let bowlers...wait for it...play 5 Tests in a row
Heh.Happy? Delighted? Over the moon? Erect?
I reckon Lehmann is just straight up not a big fan.
Pronounced your first sentence as "Makes the whole PEWS thing even more confusing"Makes the whole Hughes thing even more confusing IMO.
It's not what we suspected - that they'd decided to give him some time away from the side to work on his technique and get his head right in domestic cricket in preparation for eventually replacing Rogers.. he was just a couple of places further down the queue than we thought. I reckon Lehmann is just straight up not a big fan.
You do know he's talking about the GG yeah?i thought that was pretty clear after the ashes tho
