Came for the thread blowing up over Australia picking five bowlers, and I have to say you all delivered. I presume Inverarity, Bichel et al are thinking that it's about time to rotate in all the frontline fast bowlers at the moment? Just in time to rotate them all out for the ODI non-series or Indian tour? Sure the wicket is a touch green, but that's no reason not to blood new batsmen to replace both Watson and Hussey? To think we lost to NZ last season in Hobart...

 Just flicked over to the India v England ODI... is it just me or is the pitch physically indistinguishable from the rest of the block? Strange for an Indian pitch...

I'm surprised they didn't shield Hughes from the vicious turning Indian pitches. How long until Cummins is able to bowl again?

Ryan Harris is a certainty for the Ashes squad. If Pat Howard wasn't literally breaking our fast bowlers we'd have a decent team (Bird, Starc, Cummins, I assume Hilfy was left in Aus due to injury). loving spinners and batsmen though  . loving give me a go in the team. I'll just go around kneecapping English players and we'll win by default. Probably a more legitimate strategy than the polished turd being produced at the moment.

Jesus that last six just looked like he was using a 9 iron. So Brad Haddin has been brought back into the team, at the expense of Matthew Wade, because we need a vice-captain? I mean, Haddin should probably be there anyway, but the fact that it took needing him to VC that got him over the line, just ridiculous. gently caress CA.

It's pretty depressing when Hughes is looking more competent than the rest of the batting order.
