Prince EWS said:Technically, the way the Australian selectors seem to work, Katich will take Waughs spot. They always seem to put batsmen back in team after injury. Martyn has copped both ends of the stick. Katich is not really in the side, as he is just an injury replacement for Lehmann.
Watson.marc71178 said:Who, Symonds or Watson?
why isnt lehman in the team, i admit hes a bit of a ****** but hes a good player, better than symonds and watsonRichard said:Watson.
Though it was ludicrous that Symonds got all the chances he did. Never anything in his domestic record to suggest it should have been done. Lucky buggers got away with it in the end.
I seriously hope the same thing doesn't happen with Powell.
Well, he bowled well in the current Pura Cup and OK in the last County Championship.Mister Wright said:Yes, but he is improving.
Andre - don't you think Lehmann deserves immidiate claim on the place?Andre said:Maybe you should have thought before asking that question.
In Australia's last Test match, Steve Waugh was a member of the top 6. He is no longer - creating an open place. Obviously, Symonds would tkae this spot if selected.
Woops - good try though Craig :rolleyes:
And please, call me Andre.
Richard said:Andre - don't you think Lehmann deserves immidiate claim on the place?
I would seriously hope he does. Someone with a proven record un-like Fools Goldenboy (everyone thinks he's great, but where's the proof?) Clarke.age_master said:yeah i think he does think that lehmann will be on the tour.

Amazingly hyped up, has a poor VB series against 2 of the weakest bowling attacks in world cricket (Zimbabwe and India) and yet is defended and still mentioned as a near certainty for the Test side...Langeveldt said:I think you are being a bit harsh on him... Many worse players have been hyped up more... He hasnt done much wrong..
Saying that, he still looks like a young kid when he bats...
Well, his 1st full season of ODI cricket and he averages mid-20s, yeah I'd definately call that not doing much wrong...for a number 8...age_master said:wait a few months rik, go and watch him play for Hampshire (with the Great Shane Warne hopefully ) and you will see why people like him.
he definatley hasn't done much wrong though...
I do believe that Lehmann should and will take the number 6 position.Richard said:Andre - don't you think Lehmann deserves immidiate claim on the place?
And as has been said, using total logic Lehmann comes back for Katich, Katich has estabished his credentials and hence replaces Waugh.
What you hope Powell does not finaly live up to his potential??Richard said:Watson.

Ok Rik I respect your opinions more now days but you have got this wrong IMO.Rik said:Well, his 1st full season of ODI cricket and he averages mid-20s, yeah I'd definately call that not doing much wrong...for a number 8...
I saw him on Sky several times and I'm being serious here, I wasn't impressed, his bowling is easily-hittable, he goes for too many shots and gets out early...and I don't see what will change in England, I'm pretty sure he'll end up trying to hit every ball for 4 or 6 and get out for about 20, just like Afridi did a few seasons ago for Derbyshire.
But I was going on the therom that Lehmann is a certainty to get take over Steve Waugh's spot. You yourself, David, quite a few people have...Andre said:Maybe you should have thought before asking that question.

And who have the selectors named to take over from him?Craig said:But I was going on the therom that Lehmann is a certainty to get take over Steve Waugh's spot. You yourself, David, quite a few people have...

How is playing in every game "limited opportunity"?Eclipse said:He wont throw his inning's away anywhere near as often as Afridi you can trust me. His averages this summer for mine have been quite sufficient given his sometimes limited chances and the fact he is still so young.
