Australian off season domestic 2012/13

[bondi beach]

uh we changed the selection panel. the captain and coach are now part of the team. a very good change because they'll actually want to win

And the selectors don't? Is there anything to stop the captain just picking his mates?

 

[Spikey]

I dunno know. I'm leaning no. He didn't really repeat his 'instant big hitting' success he had in the lower standards of the IPL. and if he can't do that, and clarke won't bowl him, there seems little point

 

[Spikey]

And the selectors don't?

Frankly at times it's hard to make the argument they are trying to win

Is there anything to stop the captain just picking his mates?

The other 4 selectors

 

[Spikey]

don't get me wrong, I'm gonna be bagging SOK so much for not dropping himself for Doran in our ODers next season

 

[bondi beach]

smith will be at t20wc no?

The second team I named with Haddin for Smith.

 

[Spikey]

should we make another thread to discuss possible World T20 squads

was this in response to me you little ratbag? have you been on the sauce? clarke wont be at the t20wc

and yeah thread away why not

 

[Spikey]

It was to you about Smitteh you ****

 

[benchmark00]

Nah ****.

 

[uvelocity]

It was to you about Smitteh you ****

on the bongs then? whats clarke not bowling smith got to do with what he will do at the t20wc??

 

[Spikey]

well if clarke ain't bowling smitteh there seems little point picking him as an all-round package

 

[NUFAN]

No 2nd xl Nufan? ,who would be in it,vital to keep pressure on the frists,and maybe close to first xl selection.

Hmm. Tough to say but I would go with..

1. Henry 2. Hughes 3. Cruikshank 4. Thornley (c) 5. Dawson+ 6. Cush 7. Abbott 8. Copeland 9. Doran 10. Tremain 11. Bills 12. Cribb.

Yep, I'm keen for Nev to open if Haddin is available (which I think he will be) too. He's done a fair bit of it at grade level and is well-equipped technically. I think the only other opening option there would be Henriques, and I really don't think he should bat above seven at the moment.

I'd swap Patterson and Rohrer from that side and probably play Copeland ahead of Haze but that's the closest yet to a team I'm happy with.

Yeah you would think both keepers would be available and hopefully both play. Fair enough about your changes but I think its Haze's time to shine this year so I would be picking him for sure.

 

[benchmark00]

Cribb can bat ffs!

 

[uvelocity]

well if clarke ain't bowling smitteh there seems little point picking him as an all-round package

maybe im off my head, but perhaps bailey will bowl him. or perhaps they think he will do it with the bat, cause he will defo be at the wc anyway. that was the whole point of him going to england

 

[Spikey]

no he can't He's a Robot! - YouTube

 

[Spikey]

oh yeah i forgot bailey was captain. point stands, i don't think he'll get bowled

 

[benchmark00]

Spikey really needs to learn how to use the quote function.

 

[Spikey]

you need to shut your goddamn mouth, dane

 

[uvelocity]

well he bats in baseball alright

e: cribb does
