    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    Sure it wasn't angel dust because he doesn't look like a coke man to me!!

    Yeah well an ODD career average of 26 which has been as low as 21 this season with a strike rate in the 60' should put enough 'light' on the matter.

    Why not!? Its not as if the players we are picking are on the basis of their records, so as long as we are doing that we should just pick players with more pedigree and talent, if I'm not wrong a bloke like Uzi has scored two list A centuries in his last two knocks for the Blues and Hughes too...

    Forrest is an average batsman especially for the limited overs format and I'm not sure even with Ponting gone he is gonna get anymore chances in this series, Dussey is a superb batsman on his day but he too is hardly a model of consistency and at 34 he is not a long-term player either. If the...

    You keep saying that performance is the criteria for selection but if that were to be the case then blokes like Forrest and Dussey had no business of being in the side in the first place.

    Mate Ponting is not some guy in his 30's who struck some form after ages of mediocrity on the back which he got into the Australian side, he is an absolute legend of the game he had basically earned the right to decide about his future. The way he has been pushed around in the side after he...

    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    So after the world cup or even before this series didn't the selectors know that Ponting didn't fit into the larger scheme of things or were they just waiting for a slump to conveniently get rid of him? Transparency is a two way road and when you bring in blokes like Dussey and Forrest who have...

    Give me a break!!! This selection committee is doing little other than putting up stop gap measures, they have pretty much forgotten about all the good young players maybe just because they were picked under the Hilditch era, their views are short sighted and they just have this goal of somehow...

    This is a ****ing disgrace to humiliate our best ever OD batsman and captain in such fashion, if they didn't see him playing any part in the future of Australian cricket then they should have told him this before the start of the series but to cut him off like this in the middle of the series is...

    Isn't Kohli seen as the next Indian captain?

    Playing on damp or green pitches is hardly great prep for an aspiring international batsman to learn his trade on, all its achieved is made ordinary seamers look way better they are and made pretty decent batsman look absolutely inept.

    C'mon Forrest fake an injury or something!!

    We had better spinners in our domestic system just only half a decade ago but that's not the issue, the real problem is in recent times the wickets that we are playing domestic cricket on have nothing in it for spinners which has just sidelined the spinners all together.

    Someone tell Forrest that its ok to take 1's and 2's also....

    None of us Aussie fans should be surprised to sea the next breed of batsmen looking all at see against spin, they hardly get to play any at the domestic level so its pretty futile to expect them to play spin well at this level.

    **Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

    The amount of negativity surrounding Ponting would make one feel that he is the sole reason behind Australia's poor form in this series thus far, the fact is since the world cup he has been one of our better OD batsmen so all the Ponting bashing that has been going on has achieved little else...

    Likes of Cooper, George and Ferguson play for South Australia so for the selectors they don't exist....

    How on earth are we gonna develop a decent side if we keep dropping guys without giving them a long rope, Warner's talent is for all to see and you gotta give him time to develop, good young players just don't pop from nowhere like wild mushrooms one has to be patient with them something we just...
