FIRST ASHES TEST 25-29 NOV AT THE GABBA

[Interceptor]

Well so far the selectors look like geniuses for playing Siddle, but fools for playing the unfit Clarke and sub-standard North.
Good to see (well read on cricinfo) that Hussey is back to using the aggression that made him good to watch.

[RoosterMarty]

Goodbye North!

[NFC]

WHY THE HECK IS NORTH STILL IN THE TEAM?!!!?

[carey]

so what does ferg need to do against tassie to get norths spot? or is it going to the new south welshmen whos name has slipped my mind at the minute!

or will the brain dead selectors go with north again?

I think it's obvious that Khawaja is ahead of Ferg on the pecking order. I think Punter likes picking North because it makes him look far better.
A bit like having a really ugly "designated wingman".

for mine ferg is a better option at that 5 or 6 spot where as khawaja is that number 3 type? just my thoughts

[Bum Crack]

At least with Haddin in, we'll have a chance of chasing this score down sooner rather than later. At least he'll have a go and won't die wondering. Clarke was magnificent to watch in his marvellous innings

Betfair flucs since stumps day 1

AU $1.46.....$1-83
EG $6-00.....$2-70
DR $6.40......$10

EG 260
AU 5/155

I would have thought EG would be favs at this stage

i think they will blood Khawaja at number six and then when Ponting retires in the near future he will be ready to move up to number 3 similar to how Pontings career went.

Bollinger would be spewing, he could've batted at 6.

Because there are still another 2 innings left ?

Yeah, he'll pick up two charity wickets and buy himself another 3 tests.

[Jim05]

Clarke disgraceful. Very selfish putting himself ahead of team. He knew his back was no good but selfishly played therefore jeopardising team. Not good for future aus captain.
Dont get me started on north

[mal]

Is that Finn or Kurt Tippett bowling ?

15 wickets in a day and half i would think the draw is out of the question but saying that you'd think day 3 and 4 will be good to bat on with maybe some cracks day 5.

saying that i cant pick a winner at this stage very much a 50/50 for mine alot on the shoulders of these 2 at the crease.

[Bum Crack]

Haddin will score a century. Get all over it.

[Phantom Gossiper]

[Phantom Gossiper]
