    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    Hayden needs an innings here to keep the axe from falling. Even if he gets to 50, what will that prove against this sorry excuse for opposition.

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    Yeah, I don't know why they play these games at Telstra. But Jaques did good, the pitch was a bit rough looking, there was significant lateral movement at times for both the slow and quick men. Katich on the other hand played a signature knock, 3(23).

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    I realize this is what they want, I can't for the life of me think of a good reason why though. I know none of my picks have any hope, but again I can't see the logic to it. After all this time they still can't differentiate test cricket from one-day cricket. I thought when they dropped Taylor...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    You're right, they don't need five pacers. This is all pretty short term anyway with McGrath, Hogg and Gilchrist in the mix, after them what is the lineup. In revision, pre-retirements, my very conditional line-up Gilchrist Clarke/Klinger Ponting Symonds/Clarke Hussey/ Symonds...

    I'd pick Chris Simpson before Dan Cullen. I like Hauritz but I think he's still out of favour for whatever stupid reason.

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    I'd like Hogg in there as well, but if he's there with Symonds, Clarke AND White the 5th/6th bowling option will be a mess the way Ponting captains. It's great to have so many options but I think they bowl better when fewer of them bowl more overs and get the match practice. Again, Hogg might be...

    Katich was not dropped because of how many runs he scored but how and when he scored them. Should have been dropped earlier, after Jaques made 94 on debut ideally.

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    I don't think there is such a thing as a one day opener the same way there is for FC cricket. Hayden may be a test opener but Clarke is a better OD player and has played very well in that position. Katich is not an opener and they persisted with him for a long time. Klinger is not necessarily an...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    He's significantly younger than those 3 (29 as opposed to 31, 32, 35), younger players does not mean <25, australian batsmen usually aren't good enough that young anyway. Jaques and Hussey are far better one day prospects than Hodge, Katich or Hayden. Jaques has had a patchy season, sure, but...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    I think it's worth giving Clarke a shot at the top, push White up with Hogg at 7 or bring in David Hussey (apparently I'm still the only one who considers him a viable national player). Otherwise bring in Jaques and give him more than one game to prove himself and you might just be half way to...

    Tri Series in America?

    where in Florida out of curiosity?

    Tri Series in America?

    They'd have to play at a club ground, even at Yankee stadium you'd only get a 90 metre diameter playing area.

    I thought it was a possibility. I commented at the time that it'd be more trouble if he'd said it to the international umpire and not Harper. That said, he's a Queenslander at the Gabba, the infants use more obscenity.

    *Official* Australian Domestic Season Thread

    The national selectors picked the wrong bushranger.

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    He was crap in the last world cup, has never been a good ODI bat, is the most overrated fielder in the history of the universe, at least on this board, and he really hasn't been in great relevant form. They finally drop him, twice, rightly so as he's almost as big a ballast at the top as Katich...

    Mike Hussey vs Pakistani Bowlers!!

    He also took 1 for 30 from 15 overs. Better than Sami, who he dismissed. What does it all mean?!?!?!?!?!

    Kumar Sangakkara and Adam Gilchrist

    I think you're taking this out of context. Excepting average and country, do you think these stats have anything to do with position in the batting order? Coming after what has usually been 6 very competent and prolific batsman, do you expect one to feature in record partnerships or score...

    An Australian Team all under the age of 30

    That is interesting. I would mention he's also a Blue, but Jaques is too and the selectors haven't done him any favours.

    Graeme Smith warns Panesar of racist abuse

    Am I the only one who finds it somewhat distateful that Smith is singling out Monty. Perhaps it betrays his own outgroup perceptions. It might be more because of his being Sikh and wearing the associated headwear that he's been brought up so much, because he's certainly not the only player with...
