Australia Vs Kiwis First test

[Baron Greenback]

Sack that overrated piece of poo.
He's the load his mum should have swallowed.

ridiculous comment- you are a tool

Is that you Watto?

you and SS have the mental capacity of a small child- get on the topic and stop wasting space and time

Bad day at the office big fella?

Anyhoo, there's not many in the Australian team that could be overly confident of holding their spot in the team at the moment.
Only Huss-bucket and Clarke would be reasonably confident.

Cricinfo is on about an 'extended post tea session'. That's not going to happen. We don't have daylight saving here and it will get dark very early.

i would take 175 on this pitch
and how the f&*k would NZ bowl 30 overs in the next 1hour and 10 minutes... if needed

[Rik E Boy]

It will rain tonight and the pitch will be just as lively tomorrow. This test will be over ten overs into the second session on Saturday....one way or the other.

they lost an 1/2 hour at the start of the day so they really only need 25 in that time which is still a huge prob

Alright for the Haddin bashers let get one thing straight. Ronchi is not, i repeat is NOT a suitable replacement. He's just an overrated slogger who can't actually bat that well. That being said his batting isn't the issue. Ronchi is quite sloppy with the gloves. Not good enough to be keeping at international level. We need to pick the best wicket keeper and stop looking for the next Adam Gilchrist cos we are not going to find one. Whilst on the batting side of things we went alright with a bloke called Healy in the side and he averaged less than what Haddin currently does with the bat.

If Haddin needs to be replaced it should be because his glovework is letting him down and the guy most suitable to do so is Tim Paine from Tassie.

Agreed.

Not to often I agree with RR Paine is the guy IMHO, Haddins problem is I think that he tries to be a Gilly, Paine is a good gloveman and is good with the bat but not an aggressive type in all senses of his batting

[locky801]

Now 8/175

Been a great fighting knock by Pup Clarke
