I'm not REB but i'll answer anyway. I would give Katich more of a bowl and leave White out. He really is no threat as a bowler in Test cricket so there is no point him being there.



Good call. I thought Doherty might not be too far away. He was given a gig in the subcontinent with Australia A and Casson was tried and then cast aside. Why pick a guy who doesn't even rate himself? White remains the worst selection of the decade by a fair margin....and that was just for the first test let alone the last three.

Only 3 overs in but my prediction is looking good.

3 overs 0 maidens 0 wickets 32 runs :shock:

This is Test cricket remember :shock:

THAT my friend is speculation. What is not is Krejza's current analysis and you're own glittering record during this series. Don't worry. Fairly soon the selectors will cotton on and you'll be back in charge of the Bushrangers.

GOT HIM!!! EDGED!! Vijay gone for 33, India 1/98 and with the wicket Shannon Noll's "Come on Aussie" blares in the background. Nice touch. :)

Oops, forgot to credit it to the severely underrated Watto. :wink:

Hopefully White can grab 3 or 4 wickets this test make some runs and cement himself in the side. The fact is Warne has retired and White has taken the most wickets at first class level of all our spinners, says something about our spinning stocks. There is no quick answer to fill the void of Warne and Macgill so there will be some tough time ahead.

He got Dravid not Sewag. Dravid continues a very ordinary series for himself.

well prob not hate, but dont like the bloke due to the fact he has a lot to say and i think he should concentrate on getting his body fit and right and playing consistent cricket before he mouths of. watto bowls too short, he can bowl quick but doesnt use his talent to advantage because he thinks he is quicker and can bowl short all the time..

made a half-century in the first test but apart form that it has been a very dry run for dravid.

i find it very interesting when people on here suggest that hayden isnt finished but dravid is when they are both in pretty similar positions with only 1 fifty this series

Krejza gets a wicket when we need one, unlike Cameron Shite who gets them when it's all too late.
