***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

International Coach
OK here's a list of guys that have definitely played themselves out of an Ashes series

Cowan
Watson
Maxwell
Wade
Doherty
Khawaja (if he cant get a game for this shower then he's no hope)

I'd still pick Warner and Hughes but purely on potential
are you kidding? cowan should be inked in, wade and watson are still pencilled in

Why do these ****s keep playing back?
Playing back isn't that lethal (though it's not advised), it's the type of shot they play when going back though. You've gotta play with a vertical bat and look to punch it well forward of square. You get in to trouble when you go on the back foot and look to work to square.

Look at this. PEWS, Spikey and I agree and so Top Cat decides to bring in his mate Benchmark on a separate topic.

Bloods vs. Crips.

massive partnership this - big call but I reckon the number of runs it brings will decide the game either way

Sums up Australia atm when people are inking in a guy that averages low 30s with no real potential for improvement
As opposed to twenties or tens?

Yeah, it's not fantastic, but he hasn't looked incompetent and he's actually contributed consistently, which is more than you can say for the other ****s.

Ishant contributes nothing at all to this Indian team. It is quite amazing how **** a cricketer can be in all facets.
Properly duffed up Hughes in the first dig, tbf. Shooting fish in a barrel as that may be.

I wonder whose initial idea it was to open with Maxwell. Generally it works by either the captain or coach having a thought then they speak to each other and then if there's a consensus it happens. Honestly can't find a reason for it tbh.
I'm basing this on very little evidence save a twatty chin and an irritating public persona, but he strikes me as the kinda of charlie who's so convinced of his own genius he'd keep banging on about how he'd smash a load opening until the coach/captain gave him enough rope to hang himself.

I tried to stop wanting to bang new David Jones ambassador Jessica Gomes, but I can't

David Bowie's real name in David Jones, he said in no way making a wafer-thin pretext just to quote the pic. :drool:

Yeah it does. But it's time for you to face that fact and stop pretending that dropping our best batsmen will somehow improve the side. Watch some Shield cricket and get back to us with your recommendations; I guarantee you that you'll be scratching your head.
