Third test side. Ed Cowan David Warner Phil Hughes Michael Clarke (capt) Michael Hussey Matthew Wade Mitchell Johnson Mitchell Starc Peter Siddle Nathan Lyon Jackson Bird Now take out Michael Hussey and you have a team that will easily reclaim the ashes  Why would you play 5 bowlers in a test you dont need to win? If it was 1-1 and needed a win for rankings and you have been having trouble bowling teams out then sure go for it. SL batted for about 80 overs last game.. Johnson at 7? he's a good tail ender, ie he can hit big scores - but also gets <10 most the time. I guess it doesn't matter as we are basically playing Sri Lanka A now with all their injuries, but i'll quote this post if we bat first and lose a couple of early wickets to the new ball and collapse horribly due to a mighty long tail.

Hyperriker posted:Saw a link floating around about the ABC not covering the India tests because of the BCCI doing something. I'll post it when I get home, unless anyone beats me to it. ABC aren't covering basically for money reasons, but the BCCI refused Maxwell's certifcation, which is rather outragous. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-02-12/statement-on-abc-cricket-coverage/4514890?section=sport abc posted:The ABC's Manager of Grandstand Sport Craig Norenbergs says a number of factors were behind the decision not to have a presence in India for this month's Australian cricket tour. Some gold lines there about 'demands to return to normal programming'.

Id say just play 11 batters, open the bowling with Warner and Clarke and play for draws but I dont think we have 11 batters.

Wow, that's a belting. But really what do you do? The following players scored more than 400 runs in Shield this season. PJ Hughes (In and failing) RT Ponting (Retired) CJL Rogers (35 and had a previous shot) AJ Doolan (dont know much about him) MJ Cosgrove (Likely will never get picked due to weight and attitude - but right now couldn't be worse..) CJ Ferguson (Hasn't stepped up in the last few years, seems more suited to the one dayers) UT Khawaja (should be in the side, but again hasn't stepped up when he's had the chance) BJ Haddin (Old, was dropped for a reason) CD Hartley (Is ok, and maybe a improvement on Wade, but eh) Isn't exactly anyone banging the door down to get in..

Does it really matter where he bats if the rest of the team scores 80 between them?

I really hope that Australia lose the 3rd test by an innings and 500 runs. Ideally with only two wickets, one run out and one timed out. Surely the coaches job is to do the homework..

It's almost like the main factor that is causing Australia to lose is not home work ability, who the captain is, or even team unity (although that couldn't hurt) it is because the team as a whole isn't good at cricket.

Scylo posted:Clarke(c), Haddin (vc), Khawaja, Warner, Cowan, Hughes, Wade, Lyon, Faulkner, Watson, Rogers, Siddle, Bird, Harris, Pattinson, Starc A seam bowling unit of Siddle, Harris, Pattinson, Starc, Faulkner and Bird is a pretty decent 6 to rotate through as each one gets injured. Still have to score runs to win games though, and that's only marginally better than the India tour team.

It's hard to say who deserves to win this game, Australia were 9 for 115 in the first innings. You dont deserve to win games when you do that, but equally Englands bowling to the number 11 in both innings has left alot to be desired.

Part of me is worried Australia will screw it up, but looking at this pitch one is going to catch an edge eventually.. Or runouts..

If this got to the final 50 runs you would likely actually see a backstop..
