Hmmm surely Aus will be looking at a 150-200 lead at least? Whats up with the pitch? Starting to look better than yesterday?

Interesting artical on cricinfo about Clark being a journey men :) seems like the older journey men like him and Hussey is doing a good job so why change anything.

Hussey is hardly a journeyman. I bet, had he been in any other era, he'd have played alot more for Australia already.

More than likely not, Aus has had much better teams than the current one in the past.

Yes, but Hussey should have been in the current team a long time ago anyway. It's a case of the selectors thinking "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" - despite the fact that Hussey would have only made them an even better team than they were at the time before he joined.

EDIT: TazzX needs to hang out with the guys in cricbuzz :cool: He's a natural.

Australia did have a rather strong middle order though, whos place could he have taken

Ok so you didn't say it, you just had to pop in and for no reason tell me how much I hate Aussies :) I see ...

carry on.

PS** Should take what I say at time with a little bit of salt, everything doesn't always have to be so serious.

That's for selectors to decide - but if Bradman was in his prime during that time and suddenly appeared in some form of miracle and wanted to join the middle order, I'm sure you'd make room for him, too.

To be honest, I don't really care about any of it, I was just pointing it out. :p

True, but the middle order was kind of rock solid then.
