    What should we do with Mitchell Johnson?

    There is no off position on the genius switch, Richard.

    What should we do with Mitchell Johnson?

    Actually, in my case the 3rd option was the point of the thread. The rest of it was the lead-up.

    What should we do with Mitchell Johnson?

    Clearly, Mitch is out of form. Whether it's because his Jerry Springer'esque mother crawled up from a storm drain and opened her large mouth, or whether it's because of other reasons, the fact remains that Mitch is out of form (with the ball) and seems to lack confidence. Dropping him may...

    How to win the Ashes - in recipe format

    I don't think I've ever read a recipe where things "missing" are listed. That makes no sense at all. :cool:

    2nd test - biggest contributor

    If a ball swings late into the batsman's pads, Hawkeye doesn't swing it sometimes at all or otherwise sufficiently in it's projection. That's it's flaw.

    2nd test - biggest contributor

    Yes, obviously I meant first innings. Pretty sure I can't argue with the 2nd innings one, though I never did get to see the replay of the bowler's front foot..... conspiracy? Probably. The 2D replay may be flawed, but when you can see that there is no gap b/w ball and ground, and there is no...

    2nd test - biggest contributor

    Hughes didn't glove that one in the first innings, it came off his arm. In the 2nd innings, Ponting "should've" been given LBW? Hmm... well the umpire had said not out to the LBW (Rudi) so that argument is incorrect. It was swinging down legside anyway. Good old Hawkeye doesn't account for the...

    2nd test - biggest contributor

    Hmm I think poor old Rudi is being undervalued again. It's not just the wickets he took (ie numbers) but also the quality of the wickets. His five wickets were all top order, in Hughes, Ponting, Hughes again, Katich, Hussey. He took three out of a possible four wickets in opening stands, that's...

    2nd test - biggest contributor

    So... you agree then on the following order of contribution? 1 - Strauss 2 - Koertzen 3 - Flintoff

    2nd test - biggest contributor

    You deny that Koertzen had an influence on the game? I am asking a legit question - who had a bigger influence on the game: Strauss, Flintoff or Koertzen. Serious question, looking for serious answers.

    2nd test - biggest contributor

    Am interested in others thoughts on who was the biggest contributor for the English over the course of the 2nd test. From an Australian point of view it's pretty clear - no-one in the first innings, Clarke then Haddin in the 2nd, and bugger all with the ball. From an Engligh point of view it's...

    How many tests has Rudi Koertzen played?

    Hi guys - have a query for you because I can't seem to find this info anywhere: how many Tests has this Koertzen played? He doesn't seem to get the credit he deserves for the Poms, this innings he has taken the wicket of Katich, Hughes and Hussey, he got Ponting and Hughes in the first innings -...
