***Official*** Tour Games

[aussie]

Ha, how things have changed so quickly 3 down now..

 

[andyc]

Clark takes Bell. Another one or two and he'll be right up there for the Ashes.

 

[Johnners]

We want Moses!

 

[Burgey]

2 wickets in 3 balls to Clark sees Strauss & Bell back in the hut, and Clark packing his bags for Brisbane.

 

[aussie]

Aus' back-up is generally doing well but Lee, Langer, Martyn Hayden and Ponting all have question marks over their form

i can definately say Punter, Lee maybe, but can't see why Martyn & Hayden would have question marks over their form currently.

 

[Johnners]

Pietersen in. Bring back Lee, will be close to the battle of the summer imo

 

[Mister Wright]

Clark takes Bell. Another one or two and he'll be right up there for the Ashes.

IMO he was already in the side for the 1st test and could only bowl himself out of a spot. Getting wickets here will definitely see him in the side. If MacGill bags wickets he will be the 12th man, otherwise I'd say it would be Johnson.

 

[Johnners]

TBH i'd have Symonds as twelth man and try to make sure that our bowlers need "releive breaks" as often as possible

Haha! I noticed Fletcher has said they will continue to use replacements in this series.

NSW host the Warriors & Victoria host QLD for Pura Cup games starting on the 24th. Hopefully whoever is 12th man out of Johnson/MacGill/Clark will get to be released to play for their state. It seems riciculous that we don't release the 12th man to play domestic cricket.

 

[Johnners]

Haha dam, any gun fielders that play for Tassie or SA ??

And yeah, have to agree that whoever is left out of the XI gets to play FC cricket. Not allowing them to play is definetly not in the best interests if any of the First XI succumbs to injury.

 

[Burgey]

Bet they don't use Monty.

 

[Mister Wright]

Bet they don't use Monty.

Lol! No. I guess you're right. I hope he's in the actual XI, but if he isn't, they might grab someone from the Barmy Army.

 

[Johnners]

Lee going for runs, but promising signs. 3 Inside edges enticed from Cook iirc, and Peitersen so close to being caught on the hook.

 

[Mister Wright]

Henriques on now. Cook near his 50 and Pietersen with a start.

 

[Johnners]

Henriques to Carve em up, got a good feeling about it

 

[aussie]

Like the look of Henriques as a bowler as well, him an Watson in the team in the future could be great.

Where/how are you able to watch this match Aussie?

Pietersen carving Henriques up atm.

 

[tooextracool]

sounds like a typical streaky yet effective inning from Cook. What are the odds that either Nasser Hussain or Michael Atherton comes out in the press tom saying that Cook can score 'ugly' runs?

 

[Mister Wright]

McGrath gets Cook. Flintoff in. Game on.
