    Your preferred WC format

    I make two changes to the 2011 format. I play two games every day to compact it a bit more and the top team from each pool automatically advances to the semi final with the next two highest from each pool playing in semi final qualifiers. It only cuts off two games in the tournament and doesn't...

    A Quick Question About Shane Watson

    Clarke did last summer when it was missing off and leg and smashing into middle. Not the umpire.

    *Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

    Australia has to get away from the Gen-Y type of players and that includes Ferguson. His record for SA indicates sweet FA at first class level. I make 5-6 changes for Sydney. I bring in Cowan, Klinger, Usman and White for Hughes, Ponting, Clarke and Smith and Hauritz or O'Keefe for Harris.

    Should Australia drop Michael Clarke for the Fifth Test?

    Clarke should be the first player dropped and please CA get rid of Clarke and the Gen-Y culture he has brought to the Australian team.

    One Test Wonders

    A one-off Test wonder performance that hasn't been mentioned - Jason Gillespie 201* Shane Watson has been a three-Test flop. But Australia overcame the Watson handicap to win all three. Two of them thanks to Stuart MacGill who got Watson those two caps as well. As for an England spinner. What...

    Stuart Clark - World's Best BOWLER

    Congrats to Stuart Clark on becoming the World's Best BOWLER in the latest ratings. Only last year Shane Warne referred to him as the Best Pace Bowler in the World and now he's the best legal bowler going around in the official rankings. Justifies his selection in the Australian side and...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Brett Lee is rising as the Strike Bowler in the Australian team and Stuart Clark continues to produce wickets after wickets after wickets. I know there's 1 or 2 on this forum who believes Clark should be confined to Sutherland yet alone NSW or Australia, but he's proving to be the best legal...

    Chappell joins Buchanan-bash

    Simmo is by far the best coach Australia has had and even he was over-rated. Buchanan likes to keep getting his name in the print as he's quickly being forgotton as he should be.

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    I see Watson out with a virus in Queensland's last match. Surely enough is enough. Although probably a bonus for the Toads even if they lost.

    Should we ask Warne to come out of retirement?

    Yeah I know Magoffin is WA. He's been the quiet achiever this year. Taking wickets and not getting attention, whereas the likes of Bollinger and Noffke or even spinners like McGain and Hogg are getting lots of attention for their wickets.

    Should we ask Warne to come out of retirement?

    Benefit of the doubt to a fine Australian bowler who has taken over 100 Tests wickets, but has been injured in the last two seasons thanks to that stupid boot camp by Ned Flanders. I would never rate Mick Lewis in a million years :) McGain has been their main bowler this year. Magoffin has...

    Should we ask Warne to come out of retirement?

    Exactly. We have plenty of quick options and Bollinger wouldn't look out of place. Clark, Lee and Tait deserve top three billing IMO, but Johnson has done well, Noffke is in great form with the ball (batting a bonus), Hilfenhaus took 60 wickets last year, Gillespie is still bowling well...

    Should we ask Warne to come out of retirement?

    Two seasons ago before Tait, Clark and Johnson emerged as viable options and Kaspa seemingly on the outer Australia's four best bowlers were McGrath, Warne, MacGill and Lee and they played five of the seven home Tests that summer. Kaspa was eventually recalled for the RSA series and Clark played...

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    Very hard to bait people about Watson's form right now to be honest. The runs aren't simply on the board and he's a batting bunny and cheap wicket. Watson's current form indicates he should be confined to the Grade ranks. His form doesn't warrant walk up selection in the Queensland side, let...
