Cribbage Watch has entered its 7th hour without sighting.

The problem is if you keep playing him he will eventually make some runs and then it is hard for the selectors to drop him.

Yes having a member of your team scoring runs is a problem.

i swear to god if michael clarke scores one more ton i'll will turn this car around

 

[benchmark00]

If only Goffers Magoffin was around to see this golden summer.

 

[Spikey]

lives on in our hearts.

pretty big link between goofers' return to qld and clarke's golden year tbh

Ed Cowan ~ NASTY BLOW To The Ribs (2012 S.Shield Final) - YouTube

 

[benchmark00]

Good from g00fers.

 

[Spikey]

for some weird reason rob hasn't uploaded every single thing he did in that match. back spasms are no barrier for goofers. a proto-kallis, you could say.

 

[Burgey]

Got a standing ovation.

Got a standing ovation.

Batted with a torn hamstring. Wacko. Move over Rick McCosker, your 1977 heroics have been supplanted.

Clarke has more hair on his balls than Prince William has on his head though

Pfft. There's no way Clarke doesn't wax his ballsack.

This is a bit hard to watch. I actually feel bad for Tahir.

Posted before his celeb for the Cowan "wicket", one notes.

Pretty hard to gussy up any sympathy after that.

Wow Healy putting on accents now. What an odd man.

Wow this Tahir is a character.

Assuming these are new pre-watershed euphemisms for "see you next time"?

Feel sorry for the Quiney bloke. A pair at Adelaide, takes some doing as a bowler never mind as a top order bat. Wonder if he will tour England next year?

That'll be a no. Not a test player. If he gets a third test, even if Twatto is still broken, the cupboard must really be bare.

MJ in for Patto for the third? WACA etc...

 

[harsh.ag]

Isn't Starc a better option than MJ?

 

[Viscount Tom]

I'm a better option than MJ **** Watson on 1 leg is better than MJ and he'll run out at least 3 team mates to make up for lost run outs.

 

[morgieb]

Pretty sure Johnson's gonna happen.

Also pretty sure he'll take a 5-fer and keep himself in the side in the near future.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

This could end up with Siddle and Johnson opening the bowling at Trent Bridge.

No Swisse Ultivite could get me through that stress.

Though Starc would rightly spit chips if he's not next in line given Midge has done nothing to make his case - although after Quineygate anything's possible with this selectorial mob.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Btw, hoping to the good Lord that Clarke can tolerate Katich in the Test side again. If KP can reintegrate anyone can.

This. You need his grit at 3 at present. Think he has been harshly treated in comparison to Hussey and Ponting in recent times.

I thought the great man had given Oz FC cricket away?

So had Bob Simpson. Duty calls and all that.

Starc in for Patto and Johnson in for Lyon.
