***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2013/14

[Daemon]

Two greenhorns at 3 and 4

When will we learn!

That said, hope they do well, especially Alex

The plan is clearly to get themselves the best chance of being SFA/3 afterwhich Clarke will come in and smash a triple hundred.

Clarke quaking in his boots at #5 hoping the big angry fast bowlers are tired by the time he bats.

That's how you'll get Marsh out. Completely walking at that; needed to either completely free the arms and play it square or (much preferably) leave the thing.

Shot Shaun.

 

[Prince EWS]

Beer is about two thirds through.

I've been nursing it like crazy. Had too many burritos.

I've started and finished a new beer since you made that original post. Drink up so you can be wrong already.

What've you ever done?

Geez Shaun looks like Geoff.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lol that was awful from Marsh

Nice to see you watch some cricket outside of New Zealand mate. Jeez we could sure do with that Anderson fella instead of Clarke.

 

[Prince EWS]

Shot Shaun.

I still seem to be a little bit behind. Foxtel a complete shambles tonight on all fronts.

Was a French cut for four ftr.

How many times would have George Bailey been out by now?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Hard to portray Hughes as a hard luck exclusion though

25 Tests for an average of 32, and three times recalled

That's a fair body of work to judge him by

Right, but when you consider that Marsh is the person picked over him...

Anyway, lots of good test batsmen have had a run in test cricket early in their career where they struggled and came good after being dropped and recalled. Most of the good Australian batsmen of the last few decades, at the least. I don't necessarily think he's horribly unlucky to not get a gig right now, but it's reasonable to expect he'll be picked again some day rather than discarded based on that record.

****in shot. Fap fap fap

 

[Spark]

Woah, that was stylish

 

[ajdude]

[Daemon]

Shot from Doolan. Playing it nice and late.

 

[Top_Cat]

Dashing.

 

[benchmark00]

Wow thought that was plumb.

[benchmark00]
