Why not Jackson Bird instead, surely his bowling would be more effective?

Didn't they only go with one spinner? Isn't that a bad idea with the BCCI in pitch doctoring mode?

Smorgasbord posted:England can gently caress right off whinging about not getting a dead ball call there, and the loving ICC need to clearly state it is a no-ball if the bowler disturbs the stumps at the non strikers end. And while they're at it, tighten up the sub fielding rules which England also abuse. mmmmm lemme taste them tears. yessssssss. Your lot are going to get royally hosed up the wrong un in the test series.

Ponting got fined $250 for some incredibly bad behaviour, doesn't he know you're only allowed to throw things at opposition players?quote:As he was leaving the field of play, Ponting threw his bat into the air and it landed a couple of metres in front of him.

Ricky Ponting is going to play for Surrey this year (can't wait to see him run out G. Smith, his captain). Why did I have to be cursed with growing up in South London and having this shower as my team?

It'd be fun to watch Surrey continue to be poo poo with Smith and Ponting in the team.

MCC are taking a hard line on solving the Finn problem: http://www.espncricinfo.com/mcc/content/current/story/605852.html Making it a no ball might actually encourage him to change his run-up.

Finn has a whiff of complete bellend about him, but it's a bit harsh to put him in the same category as Dernbach.

You watch. Flower will get replaced by Giles just before the ashes and Dernbach will be the opening bowler in the first test.

Part of me can't wait for Giles to take over. We'll go from Andy Flower, a hugely respected character and one of the best cricketers ever, to Ashley Giles. And the team will be poo poo and there'll be so much hatred... oh it's going to be just like the good old days.
