***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

[Tangles]

Just got in. I take it mmarsh had an amusing dismissal.?

 

[Furball]

this is ****ing great to watch, just quietly

Johnson on form is great to watch. Lazilly elegant and absolutely smacks it seemingly with no effort.

Not really, left a ball which really seamed in to take the off stump

 

[howardj]

Fair enough if Mitch and Shaun were the sons of cricketing royalty

You could then perhaps understand them getting lineball selection calls in their favour

But their old man was modestly talented and has a mediocre Test record

They are the sons of Swampy, not Ponting

What's more, they are shockingly injury-prone

 

[Antihippy]

What is with ishant and no balls today?

 

[Contra]

gotta stop with this no-ball crap, and the bouncers too ishant wtf

you do realise this is mmarsh's first poor innings in, like, five digs

Left a ball that cut back in, stayed a bit low.

Sounds pretty amusing tbh.

Johnooo...awesome to watch

..Healy gibbering nonsemse

It sounds silly but I can think of worse ideas that giving Haddin a BBL game before Boxing Day just to see if change of scenery/lack of pressure allows him to get his eye in. His average is 8.8 since the end of the Ashes.

From WA so apart from a dad who played they have a lot of support. Don't know how much push Langer has since this has been a thing for a while.

More aimed at Shaun; though Mitch's FC stats wouldn't have gotten others a game

Still, it doesn't detract from my point about their lineage

Of course Rad was ****ing enormous last summer. So much so that whilst we would still have won without Johnson, I reckon we'd have lost the series without Rad's first innings recovery missions in each match.

But **** me if he hasn't been useless as **** on a bull with the bat since. His hands have been good enough and with Clarke gone and a fair bit of new blood still to really find their feet he's probably under no threat until after Sydney. But...

With P Siddy gone the side does need a Victorian, and everyone knows the best Victorians are the ones playing for New South Wales.

The answer is obvious.

Going by the Shane Watson Rule, Haddin should be safe for at least 3 years.

 

[GotSpin]

Haddin is still safe i reckon...experience and what not

 

[Antihippy]

Jesus christ with s marsh, Shane Watson and haddin as guaranteed spots in our side I have no confidence in our batting at all.

 

[Tangles]

Mmarsh dismissal was definitely amusing. Would have loved an "oh no" to go with it.

 

[dognutz]

I guess it comes down to whether Haddin is simply out of form or totally gone...hard to say

 

[Spikey]

christ that was a good shot
