Your Team for Adelaide

[Jim05]

Mc Donald and hauritz can take their bat and ball and piss off. Both rubbish but zimbabwe are still after players if they want a gig

Word on Adelaidenow is that Johnson has been chopped.

Nice work scoop.

Johnson is OUT ! Official.

The only question is who replaces him.

Still a disgrace they have kept North in the squad.

2 down - 2 to go.

Is it official? I read that article and it stated according to reports not from an official statement. although johnson let the cat out of the bag last week regarding siddle so who knows.

I believe hilf doesn't deserve to be dropped. IMHO he bowled well at the Gabba but was unlucky to not get wickets, didn't help with the porridge that was coming from the other end. My test team would be:

1. Watson
2. Katich
3. Ponting
4. Clarke
5. Hussey
6. White
7. Haddin
8. Doherty (or Hauritz, don't really give a s**t)
9. Bollinger
10. Siddle
11. Hilf
12th man Harris
Therefore North, Johnson out, White and Bollinger in

[The Cadet]

4 Tests against a strong Sout African side, batted 7-8 avg 21 HS 68
9 wkts avg 33 ECON 2.45 BB 3-25
Not a bad start against S AF,

At the moment he is injured anyway, but If he was fit I would have him in, the key is to take 20 wkts and on these roads that wont be easy.

First Test:

15 Runs
22 Overs 8 Maidens 1/41
13 Overs 6 Maidens 2/32

Second Test:

0 Runs
10 Overs 4 Maidens 1/22
7 Runs
22 Overs 8 Maidens 1/31

Third Test:

4*
12 Overs 4 maidens 3/25
16 Overs 3 Maidens 0/47

Fourth Test:

13 Runs
27 Overs 7 Maidens 1/102 (South Africa hit 650)
68 Runs

Soo, from what i can gather, his batting was improving as he played more tests.
He bowled poorly once, although the team performed poorly on that occasion conceeding 650.
I know that i'd like to have a guy bat at 8 and be able to hit runs, as well as take the odd wicket and hold up an end. Most times he bowled, he went for only 2 runs per over.

Just what we need. Another bowler who can get one for a hundred. What I can gather from the above is that he was out of his depth at this level. Scoring 68 is a good effort but that doesn't represent a gradual improvement in batting because in the rest of his knocks he scored bugger all. He is a partnership breaker who bats at seven tops. Not the sort of cricketer we need.

We need a strike bowler and a decent spinner. McDonald is neither.

Thats the problen reb we dont have a decent spinner,

Interesting comments here from Boof.

No one knows Adelaide Oval better than former Australian batsman Darren Lehmann, who says Ryan Harris and Doug Bollinger must replace Johnson and Hilfenhaus.

"I think Ryan Harris is ideally suited to Adelaide bowling at 150km/h and with reverse swing. I would play Bollinger as well," Lehmann said.

"That means that Hilfenhaus misses out but swing bowlers generally don't do well at Adelaide.

"Terry Alderman was a good swing bowler but struggled in Adelaide.

"We need a change so we can take 20 wickets."

[Hondo]

So it's Harris v Hilfenhaus

Given my reservations about Hilf I would pick Harris out of those two

So it looks like most of you were OTM

Sorry smithy, I'm a bit slow on the uptake today (as REB also pointed out!).

Yes, the selectors do.

Yep, I think I'd better re-name myself "Captain Obvious" today.

Boldly going where several other people have already been.
