She is. edit: apparently she's been dating Starc for a few years. double edit: apparently Fields is our wicketkeeper and captain, Healy is a keeper too though. Coucho Marx fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Jan 5, 2013 |

We could always play him as a specialist batsman at six! Get more of his silly 135kph balls too.

Clarke is now the last player left in the Test team who took part in the 06/07 Ashes (or second-last, Johnson was 12th man). What a difference six years makes.

Just rough figures (and not counting Johnson), but Clarke was the only player under 30 in the side. The next youngest player was Lee, who was 30. Warne was the oldest at 37. There was really no smooth transition from one generation to the next; we lost a bunch of great players in quick sucession, and a bunch of newbies were left to flail around with the remnants holding on. Not that it's any sort of excuse. It's interesting to see what effect it's had on the team, and somebody must have seen it coming after the retirements.

So it's like the mid-eighties again, only Clarke is Border and South Africa are the West Indies?

At least he's better with the gloves than Wade. edit: I never thought I'd say that about Haddin.

Can Wade ever properly catch a delivery? Was Haddin ever this bad at collecting?

It really obviously deviates on the replay, and there is a spot of heat. It was really out.

Yup, short of some sort of Agar/Hughes heroics (and we all know Agar's gonna be bounced by Broad and Anderson every ball) we are hosed.

Seams posted:Can Bell and Agar share player of the match accolades? Apparently, Cowan has spent most of this match throwing up at the hotel (which is why Warner was seen fielding)(is it possible to get Delhi Belly in England?). His daughter had the same illness and was hospitalized for it (probably dehydration). Clarke, however, has no loving excuse. Drop him.

Is there anyone who's actually a longer-term captaincy prospect? Clarke's back isn't good, and Watson's fragile. Haddin's at the end of his career, Cowan might not last in the side, Hughes is a nervous wreck, and Smith, ha ha. Shame about Paine, wasn't he tauted as a possible captain before his injury? So I guess Wade then. gently caress.

Shmoses posted:Cracking day for Clarke - getting Watson on early was smart, keeping Smith on and eschewing the new ball was genius I get the feeling that if Clarke was captaining the English side this test would be halfway done already, and England probably would have won Trent Bridge by an innings. Their death bowling was almost their undoing.

Mister Chief posted:What side do you think he'll be playing for exactly? Australia are loving poo poo and he is an option that should be looked at. Or maybe you're right and Australia should stick with a team of players who have been given ample opportunities and have failed to deliver. Or just accept the horrible truth that this is the best team available.

Would it actually be a good idea to enforce the follow-on? The bowlers would be exhausted. All I can picture is Harris suddenly snapping in two as he hits the turf. (A part of him manages to hit Watson, who proceeds to shatter like glass)
