SS SA v NSW 3-6 March

[bennymacca]

Depends on if McDonald can bowl. If he can't I agree

[Phantom Gossiper]

I think McDonald is under serious pressure to retain his spot in the side. Hughes to come back in and with Raphael starting to find his feet with 2 half centuries in the past 2 games and out scoring his opening partner in the partnership.

Trav Head has unfortunately lost form at the wrong time of year. Thanks very much Cricket Australia and your stupid Big Bash

Top 3 in order?
Hughes
Raphael
Klinger

Think Botha only got a reprimand and suspension points (whatever they are)

Nope misses the next game was charged with 2 breaches 1 was a reprimand the other a suspension. Pleaded guilty to both disputed the suspension penalty, challenge dismissed.


Well that is how I understand it

[Phantom Gossiper]

If Botha wasnt suspended (i know he is), who would you drop then to bring back Hughes? Zampa?

[Phantom Gossiper]

1. Raphael

4. Cooper
5. Ferguson
6. McDonald
7. Ludeman
8. Mennie
9. Richardson
10. Sayers
11. Putland
12th. Zampa

[Jim05]

McDonald is no good, get rid of him FFS!

[Phantom Gossiper]

Or what about Peter George as a smokey for a call up?

Tore ET a new one on the weekend getting WT over the line....

[The Sleeping Giant]

I think McDonald is under serious pressure to justify his spot in the side. Hughes to come back in and with Raphael starting to find his feet with 2 half centuries in the past 2 games and out scoring his opening partner in the partnership.

Fixed

Here's a cricketer in Johan Botha who has been pinged for chucking on more than one occasion and is now suspended for ball tampering, regardless of what perceived or real value he provides the Redbacks why hasn't he be sacked considering he seems to have little regards for the rules of the game?

FFS ...

Was thinking the same. Will Chuck or the SACA have the balls to further discipline our leader?

[Aerie]

Good to have Hughes back. Can't see what value McDonald is so late in the season if he can't bowl. He's always been an average bat. Back in the young South Aussie talent. Zampa looks to have a long way to go - would rather go with an in-form seamer in George, who happens to hold the best figures ever bowled at Bellerive Oval and for some reason has been cast aside by the current coach/captain.

Hughes
Klinger
Smith
Cooper
Ferguson
Head
Ludeman
Richardson
Sayers
Putland
George

[helicopterking]

Hopefully Botha gone at Seasons end and Ferguson to replace him as Skipper.

[Failed Creation]

Nah, give the captaincy back to Maxi.

[bennymacca]

botha has done a great job.

second on the wickets again, and only an incredible game by okeefe stopped him leading the wickets.
