Yep i thought it did. Solid system IMO.
Would be a big disespect by the ICC towards IND & SRI if the system isn't used again though.

Yeah, really hope it gets used again, not just to avoid controversy but because it'd be a backwards step otherwise, the SL-India series finally gave me some hope that unnecessary bad decisions were finally going to be gotten rid of/minimised. Can't imagine Ponting using it very well though.

My series preview. I did it in like 10 minutes, so some of the details will be incorrect and will sounds stupid for rushing it.

i would expect a preview to be neutral. It's mostly from Australia's PoV and some of which I don't agree with especially the take on the Bhajji-Symmo-Haydo thing

No news from your spies about the composition?

...as a matter of fact they tell me that McGain, Casson, Katich and Watson are definitely all in. Also, they tell me that Bollinger and Noffke will fight it out for the last pace bowling spot.

Jake's cricket posts are great value IMO. One of the best young CC posters we've had on here in my time I reckon. Has been overlooked somewhat due to the unnecessary stuff with spinksy, that isn't really going on now.Jakester, you're a terrible bloke, but that's pretty decent for a twelve year-old. I do hope that in the future, time and maturity will reflect themselves in your cricket writing ability.
Jake, hope you stick with us here at CW as I reckon you might well turn out to be an awesome poster.

My spies tell me (even before CA announce it) that this is the team:
Matthew Hayden, Phil Jaques, Ricky Ponting (c), Michael Hussey, Michael Clarke (vc), Simon Katich, Brad Haddin, Shane Watson, Brett Lee, Stuart Clark, Mitchell Johnson, Jason Krejza, Doug Bollinger, Peter Siddle
Casson dropped, Siddle and Krejza in, and Symonds obviously out.
EDIT - McGain is in too

Noffke probably didnt wear his tie to a function or something
Casson wasnt up to it
Whilst Siddle looks the goods, he's young
The jury is still out on Bollinger
Both the spinners will fail miserably IMO
Unless someone produces something out of the box, Lee and Clark aside, batsmen will be lining up to score runs

Flatters to deceive, from what I've seen. I know all the QLD'ers will point out his stats but sometimes, you can just tell whether a bloke will be up to it in making the step up. I get the feeling he was picked as a reward for his form but was never really in contention.
Surely shouldn't have been picked in the first place?

Supposed to be named today.
Great quote the other day about Yuvraj from his Dad;
""It's his destiny that he will play and do well in Test cricket. Sher ka baccha ghaas nahi khata (The son of a lion doesn't eat grass)."
Haha, now we see where he gets his sense of entitlement from. Not to mention under-achievement if you have a look at dear old Dad's FC career.....

Thought his sense of entitlement might have been passed on by Sourav tttt.
It was really surprising to see Yuvraj's demeanour in the test series here. I don't know if there were some issues with team mates, or if he had some personal matters distracting him, but for a player who has been so dynamic in other forms of the game, he frankly didn't seem that interested.
I'd think he'll be a different prospect should he play in the tests at home. Maybe he's unsure of his role and how to play - can happen when someone who's a cracker at one form is put into tests.

Ganguly performs.
Yeah he's a great shot-player but he looked very tentative. Was almost sad to see balls ripped past his bat by Hogg. A FC average in the low-40's in FC cricket tells you a bit about how often he strings together scores, as well as the fact he's only played 77 matches in over 10 years of FC cricket yet over 200 ODI's.
