[duffer]

Gonne be 6-0 this year. Major letdown from the last couple of summers.

 

[Howsie]

I'm actually looking forward to seeing the Windies in Australia, it's a pretty big tour and they might actually want to be there.

1.Gayle
2.Barath
3.Sarwan
4.Nash
5.Chanderpaul
6.Bravo
7.Ramdin
8.Taylor
9.Benn
10.Edwards
11.Richards/Rampaul

Or get Pascal in the playing XI, I know the Perth pitch isn't the same as it used to be but Taylor, Edwards and Pascal could be deadly.

 

[Redbacks]

Has Edwards ever been deadly? Far too easy to score runs off his bowling for him to create enough pressure in Tests.

 

[Craig]

I can't wait to see Brendan Nash play in Brisbane. Reckon he will get quite a good reception.

 

[Flem274*]

Has Edwards ever been deadly? Far too easy to score runs off his bowling for him to create enough pressure in Tests.

When he was down here they analysed that a ****loado f his wickets came in big one game hauls. On his day Edwards owns. If he found consistency, he'd be really good.

 

[Xuhaib]

Good to see no Perth and Brisbane for Pakistan if Yousuf and Asif come back then I am expecting Pakistan to put in more fight then Windies. A lot would depend on Yousuf , Younis, Asif and Gul.

Nah don't think so this Aussie side is quite vulnerable to having an odd bad game out of six.

 

[Burgey]

If Shoaib tours, we have some good clinics here too.

 

[Mister Wright]

Yeah the Tests will likely be one sided, however I think the ODers will be a very close affair.

EDIT: It's also really good to see the ODers only a couple of days apart, not like they were last season - up to a week apart.

 

[Xuhaib]

If Shoaib tours, we have some good clinics here too.

not just clinics when he plans for his vacations he wants a package that includes both clinics as well as nightclubs so just clinics will not do.

Given the recent publicity, the clubs might be empty, although I think there's at least one girl who'd be up for a "fully sick" party:

Chk Chk Boom!!

 

[Craig]

Shoaib should come to the Gold Coast, he will love the nightclubs here.

 

[Noble One]

Most interesting is that Hobart will play host to their first January Test. Major win for Bellerive Oval, will draw a great crowd.

Also notice they are hosting a T20 game too. Floodlights and all. Things moving well in Tasmania.

Heard they have started to use the internet there as well.

 

[oitoitoi]

predicting 6-0 in the tests (maybe, just maybe pak pull of a draw), 4-1 vs pak in the odis, 5-0 vs the windies in the odis, 1-1 vs pak in the T20's, 2-0 vs WI in the T20's. all in all an untesting and pretty dull summer for the aussies.

 

[jondavluc]

Will the Jokes on Akhtar ever cease .

Heard they have started to use the internet there as well.

Telephones as well.It was about time the Amish stopped running the state.

 

[pasag]

Why is there no ODI against Pak in Melbourne but two against WI? Would rather have one ODI and one Twenty20 against Pakistan and one ODI against WI as opposed to the two ODIs against WI and just the one T20 against Pak.

Awww....Boo hoo. Melbourne missing out a ODI. We never get tests during school holidays and rarely get to see the higher ranked nations.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Happy with the Windies at Perth.

Also, will this year's Boxing Day test have the smallest crowd in recent memories? It was pretty poor against South Africa, and I can't imagine it being much better against a vastly inferior side.
