Road to the 2015 Ashes in England

[Spikey]

Will suck to be on the same plane home as disgraced star Forkers Faulkner too

 

[Spikey]

also it's insane to me that the test is starting so soon after this tour match finishes

Interesting FC stats for Marsh and Watson in last 2 years...

Marsh: 20 matches, 1347 runs @ 53.88 and 25 wkts @ 34.04
Watson: 22 matches, 1461 runs @ 39.49 and 13 wkts @ 51.00

I think its time Marsh took over...yes Watto's bowling keeps it tight, but that should be the job of Johnson, Starc, Hazelwood and Lyon...Marsh bowling is a bonus

 

[aussie tragic]

wow, Hazlewood just went for 27 off his first over

Yeah he gave Ryder too much room. Laced him through the off side.

Just saw Ryano downstairs. He's looking pretty cut up. Glad I didn't approach him for a pic, I only heard he'd retired after we sat down.

Breaking news...I had to search after you said that
Ashes 2015: Ryan Harris retires, Pat Cummins into squad

Pat Murphy saying Siddle might get the nod over Hazlewood.

The loss of Harris means Peter Siddle's reliability could get the nod over Hazlewood for the Cardiff Test.Controlled foil to Johnson & Starc

pretty reliable to not to take more than a wicket per an inning. haze's econ is 2.50 ftr

Aren't we suffering enough grief losing Rhino. They pick Siddle and the suicide rate is gonna jump.

Along with me off the nearest bridge I can find.

I wouldn't put this past Boof.

 

[Gob]

i would rather have cummins straight from the plane with no match practice what so ever over mr banana grabber. seriously 135kmh short **** i just cant

 

[LegionOfBrad]

.....seriously?

He did indeed say that and he was first with the Rhino retirement scoop.

A seriously great day for England if Aus lose Harris and replace him with Siddle.

I know he said it, my "seriously?" was in shock.

I'd be utterly spewing if this happened. Almost enough to make me hope that we lose.

harris would've struggled to play even if he was fit tbf it was quite evident from the wi that they started to see starc as a lock so it was between harris and mj and mj put it to rest in the first warm up. Could not comprehend how could you drop the man of the series of a one series from the very next. You don't drop established players based on the warm ups ffs.

Pete's tour diary for today is gonna be a fun read...

 

[Spark]

I'm going to put that down to him still believing the cliche about Siddle and not knowing anything about Haze.

Really hard to believe they'd change the attack from last Test in order to cover for a bowler who wasn't playing in that Test anyway.

 

[morgieb]

It's not like Siddle's even bowled that well in the warm-up's anyway. It seems stupid to pick Hazlewood ahead of Siddle for the West Indies, him to bowl very well there and then he gets dumped. In fact it would go down as the stupidest selection decision IMO in my cricket watching time.

Pat Murphy has always talked out of his arse so I wouldn't take anything he says that seriously.
