    **Official** Tour Matches

    Geez, it's terrible. He forgot to unhook himself when he was getting someone else on, and now he is talking to someone who he hasn't hooked up. He is talking, and it sounds like there is no answers. Actually, I think he is on the phone to this blind person. He is making some queer grunting...

    Should Brett Lee be selected for the Ashes?

    I wouldn't rule him out, but I doubt he would come back. The sheer pressure of runs makes you a must in teams. Unless your name is Brad Hodge, of course. Whilst Katich is 33, one year younger than Hussey, that year seems to make a big difference.

    On the topic of Hauritz's batting, he can score quickly as well. In the Australian summer he was cracking the South African bowlers everywhere in an innings he played, I think he was dismissed for 40 or there abouts, or perhaps they declared at that point, but some of his drives were very...

    Cardiff Test - Day 2 9th July tickets spare

    Serious? I wouldn't be giving my number out on a public internet forum, especially when you just signed up, and don't actually know anyone.

    This is why Australia will lose the Ashes

    What if Lee takes, say, 7/110 over the 2 innings, or 4/60 in this innings, if it is the only one where he can bowl/bowls?

    Cheers. EDIT: Got Real Player and using this link.

    **Official** Tour Matches

    I noticed. It doesn't seem to be working for me either. According to Cricinfo, they are playing, and it says on the side: This commentary is available in Real Player only. If there is no commentary playing out, it could be due to a break in play. I thought I had Real Player, downloading it...

    This is why Australia will lose the Ashes

    McDonald 28 years 20 days Lee 32 years 229 days Pretty big difference. McDonald has up to 10 years left. Lee, with his injuries and the sort of bowler he is, I can't see him lasting another 4 years. However, could last another 6 but I don't see that happening.

    I'm not watching, but from Cricinfo's scorecard (that's all they're providing) it seems that Hilfenhaus is outbowling Lee.

    Should Brett Lee be selected for the Ashes?

    If he doesn't perform during this series, it's time for his brother, or Hodge or someone to take his spot. If he shows consistent good form in the counties if he plays and the Australian domestic cricket, then he should be considered for the side again.

    This is why Australia will lose the Ashes

    No, he wouldn't. McDonald, at the moment, in the international arena, has been performing better than Lee. I had another post to quote somewhere in this thread, but after reading it and coming back, I couldn't find it. If Lee performs well in the tour games, bowling good line, lengths, with...

    **Official** Tour Matches

    What did we decide to do with these, and when will they be made? If the Cricinfo time is correct, there is an hour until the first tour match starts, so we should get cracking on making a thread for that.

    This is why Australia will lose the Ashes

    I agree with this. Our top and middle order isn't exactly setting the world on fire, but we bat deep enough to counter this. Honestly, we bat all the way down to 11 in any line up we name, unless it features Hilfenhaus. Clark, Hauritz, Siddle, Lee, Johnson etc are all decent batsmen, Johnson is...

    This is why Australia will lose the Ashes

    Yeah, that's the one. He's not actually in form at the moment, his FC season was poor, especially by his standards. However, Hussey > North > Watson on batting, IMO. There isn't much in it, though. Hussey is slightly above North, and North and Watson are almost equal.

    This is why Australia will lose the Ashes

    McDonald is very underrated. He isn't the best bowler you will ever see, but he just bowls tight, gets through his overs quickly, bowls stump to stump all day and picks up the odd wicket whilst being economical. For this Ashes series, IMO McDonald should be picked before Lee, but Clark should...

    Quick rundown. Team named for next game. Newton Raisani Mulvaney Mukhopadhyay Nissanka Fletcher Habens Waterworth Waters Jabulile Rocastle Nissanka and Fletcher even for the keeping spot, another trial between them. Keeping the openers because they made some runs last time, and Newton is the...

    Battrick

    Thanks. Was surprised to wake up, look at the screen and see how gun we went...without the openers making all the runs. I might move my keeper to opener, because neither are performing at the moment.

    Battrick

    I named a very, very understrength team. I have my normal openers, number 3, and keeper. Then my opening bowlers. That's it. I'd say the top 3 plus Fletcher (keeper) is the key. End of Over 20: 164-2, runrate=8.20 Jabulile 4-0-41-0 Siyabonga* 19 (14 balls) Dipalesa 104 (68 balls) Last Wicket...
