A: If he is Glenn Maxwell, he does this to the next 39 balls: 6, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 1, 4, 4, 1, 1, 0, 4, 4, 4, 1, 4, 1, 0, 1, 6, 1, 4, 0, 4, 6, 4, 4, 2, 1, 6, 6, 6, 0, 4, 1.

I think I need to get in touch with Mr.Maxwell. That is straight out of the booklet "Booney Batting 101" that I have exclusive rights too.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Yeah I just dont get the selectors.
They dropped a batter in Khawaja( deservedly so) and bring in another middle order allrounder.
To me Faulkner is just another Watto.
If we make 250 with that batting line up id be surprised

Isn't Watson injured? Faulkner for Watson? Still I think it's a stupid selection either way!

It should be Faulkner for Watson or not at all. Hughes should really come in for Khawaja but who know what the f**k the selectors will do.

Fairo, Watto's injury cant have been as bad as 1st thought then.. must just be like a spoilt little sooky lala kid who fakes injury when he isnt happy with where he is batting :lol:

So because Watto presumably can't bowl (or bat) we bat Haddin at 6 and bring in essentially another bowler in Faulkner.
So we now have 4 half Test cricketers in Watson, Faulkner, Starc and Haddin. i.e none of them are good enough tor etain their position in one discipline alone.

Effectively we are playing 9 against 11 IMO

How big a say does Lehmann have on selection

I absolutely love the bloke to death but geez as coach so far there has been some very bewildering selections.

Batting line up will be interesting.
Thought they had settled on Watto middle order.
Who frucken knows anymore.
It's interesting though that they really don't know where to bat Watto.
Maybe it is time to say bye bye to him.
