What r u guys on about?

IF Clarke doesnt play and IF they decide on a 5 man attack, then Noffke is a STRONG CHANCE to play

Of course he will be a strong chance to play IF they go down that rout because he is one of the back-up bowlers and can bat

The guy might be doing nothing more than filling up column inches by stating the obvious but he is hardly talking crap IF those 2 scenarios eventuate
i think the point is that we won't play 5 bowlers (or a very small chance)

and i think rightly so with Symo as a bowling option and Haddin making his debut..

If they decide to go for 5 bowlers then sure, Noffers should play. I just have a dispute with whether they should have 5 bowlers. If they're worried about Magill's form, they shouldn't pick him for crying out loud. With a batting all-rounder in the side (Symonds), I would pick my best four bowlers. If Magill isn't one of those, so be it; be very comfortable seeing Noffers in as a fourth quick with Symonds offering variety.

what do you guys think will be the slips position of the Aussie fielders? Had lots of trouble in the series v India... was pulling my hair out (*remembers Clarke dropping Sehwag on 0 and he ends up making 150 odd)

iidr, Symo also dropped atleast one in the slips...

1st - Hayden
2nd - Ponting
3rd - ???
gully - Hussey

Why doesnt it feel right?

definitely doesnt feel right that there is Australia v West Indies and theres no McGrath/Warne vs Lara battle :mellow:
Yeah, basically the battles, was always something to look forward to for the Windies test, with the great battles between bowlers and Lara. Just so used to 4 test in the Windies.

Would think Symmo would slot into the cordon.
