Feels so much better. Lets do it. On the plane, Mr. Turner.

Just watched Inside Cricket. Lol @ Macgill saying Sachin should look at Ponting when it comes to retiring, as if his is the model way to go out.

Piss off. For once, Ponting sucked for longer than Sachin has and he hardly went out "on top" which is what they were saying Sachin should have done. But importantly, Sachin is playing another home tour.

His most laughable statement was him saying that f Sachin had played like he had played in the last 2 years, and played for Australia, he'd have been dropped 12 months ago. Absolute bull****. So they'd have dropped Sachin when he fell from best batsman in the world in 2010 to sucking in 2011? Ridiculous.

Not like Australia have ever carried batsman before or anything.

Nah he's right. Sachin sucks, hit the road.

Dharmasena is so dire. Dunno how the **** won the Simon Taufel perpetual trophy.

suck it MJ!

 

[uvelocity]

livable. would have picked bird somehow though. really hope henriques does well and stays on the park

 

[morgieb]

Not the worst side. Henriques is weird though.

Bird I feel would be ineffective in India. He'll get his go when Pattinson breaks down again.....

 

[benchmark00]

Gah, Wade in the top six.

Reckon the selectors have said 'hey look, we're only going to make our runs with the top 5, so we may as well throw in an allrounder at 7 instead because Usman ain't gonna make runs anyway'

 

[Cabinet96]

Specialist bat for Henriques the only change I would have made. Can't see him making much impact in a test series in India.

 

[Spikey]

can't see usman either though

Yeah. We don't really have one worth picking on tour though, so meh.

 

[Spikey]

post would have had more impact if not for skidmark00 having the nerve to make a similar point

 

[M0rphin3]

Could've been worse, really.

 

[Prince EWS]

Could've been worse, really.

Yeah, at least we didn't pick Doherty, or try to bat Johnson at 7 or something. I can get behind that side without being angry at the selectors for it.

 

[Spark]

Yeah that side is alright.
