    **Official** Australian Domestic Season 2013/14

    Pretty sure that is fake article. NSW don't play 7 batsmen.

    Nice to see Kennedy back. If only James Troisi played more games for Altanta. Still would have picked him personally. Even with just one game is six months he is still a better option then Vidosic, Brosque and Thompson against Japan. Would be nice if Herd was fit. We would have at least one...

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    I think in the last three years especially on Australian pitches he has bowled a yard fuller and most of more juicy pitches in Australia. Though with only 7 Test matches in non pace dominant countries, my notion is that he a bit of a green track bully is related to his OD performance on flatter...

    Reckon they should have kept their eyes closed for another couple more months and picked Gannon. :sleep:

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    Reckon Siddle will play, if nothing more then just so there is some consistency in the bowling attack, while everyone else falls down around him. Will get 'rested' in 3rd or 4th due to sports science. Still think he is somewhat of green track bully. But I think he showed in recent away tours...

    There nothing wrong with Faulkner's bowling. I would personally have him in front of Sayers as specialist bowler. But his not being picked as specialist bowler and is unlikely to be batting at 8 or below. If he makes the side it will be as 5th bowler, batting at 7. I agree that his batting...

    Do you think he is good enough to bat at 7 in Test matches though.

    Good loss, the boys played well. Just got beaten by a better side.

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    I don't think Lyon that far ahead of rest, personally would have O'Keefe ahead of him. But the spinners are a long way behind the Aussie quicks. It really just a case of one spinner or none. The same as it should be for the all rounders, Watson or an extra batsmen.

    Australia Off Season 2013 thread.

    I wonder how you would feel if your name is Ryan Carters. NSW forgot to mention they signed you (not even in one line) and Victoria say you were delisted. Reminds me a lot of the time we signed Casson and Hauritz. We made a big deal of signing Casson as this great young spinner. And Hauritz was...

    Faulkner there as the 2nd left armer. You know you have to play a left armer for variety, when Strac gets injured. ;) I think non selection of a 2nd spinner was good and bold move. Basically stating no one is good enough outside Ahmed. But they miss a trick when they selected a 2nd all rounder...

    If he is so low down the pecking order, why did he get a contract last month.

    Australia Off Season 2013 thread.

    Interesting no direct replacements for Dawson and Cruickshank in terms of full contracts. A good sign for the likes Carters, Dan Hughes, Patterson and Lenton. A lot pressure on Nevill for one day spot with Carters and Lenton in the squad. Surprised they did mention the capture of Carters in the...

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    Burns is playing country cricket so they didn't call him up. Marsh is likely to be in ODI squad, which runs at the same time to the A tour. Same reason why Voges and Bailey didn't get selected. I reckon Rogers is meant to be a wake up call to like of Cowan and Watson that they need to score...

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    Wouldn't you rather a player be selected on FC form, rather then just limited overs form. Which is likely to be the case if Marsh, Voges or Bailey get selected. When you have about 4-6 batsmen and a few bowlers that are all about the same level. Wouldn't you rather give all of them an even...

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    Isn't there meant to be a A tour before the Ashes. Surely you would pick the Ashes squad after or during the the A tour and give everyone a chance of selection in the last couple spots. It looks like the A tour is just glorified tour matches for non ODI players. Why pick a squad so far out? I...

    Individually there is nothing wrong with his signing. 250k petty cheap. But the issue all the recent signing; Soward, Humble, Whare, Naiqamia, Segeyaro, Manu, Brown etc. A lot go average players that don't add a lot of quality. Would have been better trying to get 3-4 big names to build around...

    *Official* Road to 2013 Ashes

    Never claimed Rogers didn't have weaknesses or a limited game. Just don't believe they are too big to overcome at Test level to contribute to the current Test side. I don't believe Rogers will average 50 at Test level. But he is capable of averaging in the high 30s, low 40s, if given a chance...

    Gould's Sowardism, there is more but can't be bothered. " Soward the quickest player across 20 metres..." "This (Soward) boy is everywhere.."
