Harby is apparently injured.

If the recent article is right, we'll go with Kat and Haydos opening, Jaques out, and Sunshine in the middle order.

Selectors will continue their wanking over Johnson, with Lee and Clark to take all the wickets.

I'd rather see White than Krezja but he hasn't had much preparation, although Krezja's preparation has been crap.

Hopefully the Indian slectors pick the old farts in Dravid and Gangles, still can't see what Sunshine has done to get a gig back in the test side. The cat couldn't even play in the main lead up game.

 

[Twizzle]

he'll break a nail on day one and be out for the rest of the test match

Bowling line up looks good. Batting could be better i guess since Dravid is gonna make a run per 5 overs.

[TheParraboy]

all looking good lads, jobdog thats billiant mate well done

should be some great test matches coming up over the next 10 months or so

I wonder if any indians will announce their retirements in this series?

 

[Twizzle]

sure as hell we wont threaten to pack up and go home if we get any bad decisions

 

[hineyrulz]

I heard White might get the nod ahead of Krezja. If true our spin bowling stocks have hit an all time low.

 

[TheParraboy]

where are the ray brights and tom hogans?

 

[TheParraboy]

Scattered thunderstorms 18c-27c forcast for the first 2 days of the test match


cheers

 

[hineyrulz]

where are the ray brights and tom hogans?

They would be an improvment, bring back Peter Sleep.

 

[griffo346]

bring back boof

 

[Jobdog]

Ok, so if we play White as our spinner, in other words, we're going to go in with three quicks, plus White and his toppies. Combine that with the fact the pitch will probably be a road, I have my doubts how we're going to get 20 wickets.

I heard White might get the nod ahead of Krezja. If true our spin bowling stocks have hit an all time low.

its no better if Krezja is selected,

0-199 :crazy:

Didn't Warney get like 1-300 or something in his debut in India? ;-)

But Warne could turn the ball
