Hilf bowled plenty of pies in this Test tbf. Was utterly rubbish anytime I saw him.

Looking innocous is different from bowling "pies".

Bollinger and Harris are the best 2 fast bowlers in Australia ATM.

Rick loves Rhino
"He's a great competitor," Ponting said. "He runs in all day for you and he is the sort of guy that bowls the right length for Adelaide conditions.
"He bangs the ball into the wicket, which you need to do down there if you are going to have success. If it happens to reverse swing down there, he is very good at that, as well.
"The fact he has had great success at international cricket means he is one of those guys that is just meant to be playing."
Rhino will splutter down to Adelaide in his Datsun 350B, knee held together by tape, and he'll give ya plenty!

Also, why did swanneh go to **** all of a sudden? I was actually start to rate him. Which is really rare because he's a spinner, and he's English.

Just had one bad spell vs Hussey - and it was bad, don't get me wrong - but he'll come back from that. May not storm the series but he'll be at least a solid bowler.

Just a bit. I had bets on for Watson to get 10 runs less than he did, and Swann to get more wickets than Doherty.
Meanwhile, Ricky needed to get 10 more runs or take one more catch to get him over the performance line and he dropped two. Sod's law.

Still waiting for that moment when Ponting or one of the selectors announces a player is dropped because 'they'll only run in before lunch'.

Assuming you put "Mitch Johnson n00dz" into google I'd have though you'd be fine with seeing.
I don't really agree with this. After the third ball of the innings he contributed exactly zero wickets. Same as Mitch. He just looked a bit better doing it. Combine that with a question mark on his ability to get stacks of wickets and he should be the first dropped. At least Mitch has proven he can get test match wickets in this country.

Sigging this, great stuff. Apologies in advance for featuring you in the same signature as the worst poster in the history of the forum (world?) but sometimes these things happen.
