Noble One
International Vice-Captain
Geeves is hardly the surprising choice considering the injuries going around. He has had his best domestic season thus far in his career. Couple of good 5 wicket hauls and also the 3rd highest wicket taker this season. In form too, I heard a few people really rate his effort against the Vics. He bowls at a decent click, can get some movement happening with the ball and well his accuracy is passable.
It could have been anyone out of Geeves, Magoffin or McKay. Unfortunate time for Bracken and Noffke to be injured along with Harris. Unlikely for the back up seamer to play admittedly.
Being a Vic I would prefer McKay.

Yeah, have never understood their fascination with Lambert. One of life's mysteries.

BARNES OUT
Geeves is a better all-round bowler than Hilfenhaus IMO. Gets a lot of unneccesary flack.
Andrew Pollock
School Boy/Girl Captain
Agreed.
ABC radio said it was hitting the stumps, cricinfo said it was missing.
Wish this was on free to air!
Cannot understand why Ponting was too afraid to send them back. He need to grow a pair, or we should bring back Warnie as Captain for the ashes. (Best captian to never captain Aus in a test)

Should declare now IMO. Gives us a day and a half to get our wickets (that's plenty, so a few annoying partnerships shouldn't stop us) and also gives SA the motivation not to stonewall it. Should make for some entertaining cricket either way. Oh, unless it rains of course.

Geeves you say? That is awesome!
Glad he's made it, pretty sure the selectors liked his recent 99's and want to strengthen the batting lineup, haha.
So funny to read you Prince defending him after I was calling for his selection recently and you rubbishing him.

Well when Lee, Clark, Bollinger, Noffke and Bracken are all injured, it doesn't leave one with a lot of choices for your 4th specialist quick. As I said, I don't really rate him, but he is better than the alternatives.

Also injured like every other Vic quick.
Nannes could of been an option if not injured.

Dirk Nannes unlucky to not get a mention. Guess he's been injured lately too.

I think he'd be pretty useful in a five-man attack. Picking him in a four-man attack would be mad.

Shame Bichel recently retired due to injury...
Gillespie also looked good on the beach.

Good use of the referral from Smith, use up some time.

This is bloody silly.
Surely that is "inconclusive" therefore not out.
