    Shane Watson and the tap on the shoulder?

    Devastated. I don't get to laugh and mock your childlike IQ anymore. No doubt there will be other chances on other subjects though. I'll try and stay positive. As per my last post, was always in trouble when Faulkner came back. Not in the best 11 at the moment. I'm good with it.

    9th Match, Pool A: New Zealand v England - NEW ZEALAND WON BY 8 WICKETS

    Ok. There might be some substance to all the NZ hype.

    9th Match, Pool A: New Zealand v England - NEW ZEALAND WON BY 8 WICKETS

    England for me. Overdue, solid on paper and I'm not buying all the NZ hype just yet.

    Shane Watson and the tap on the shoulder?

    I'm thinking the opposite. You need another boundary hitter in case Warner or Finch do go early. 300 looks like the new par so you need to hit boundaries in that first power play. If they do stick with Bailey, I'd say one of those new all rounders might need to come in at 3.

    Shane Watson and the tap on the shoulder?

    Without research, I'd be surprised if George has done more. Watto has been good for the usual run a ball 30. Im not convinced Marsh won't end up as right arm runs, but nothing to do with bowling at the moment. I'd say keeping a power option at 3 is what tips Bailey out for Clarke.

    Shane Watson and the tap on the shoulder?

    There is no mystery about his selection to this point. He is finally under pressure because with Marsh and Clarke back we have some Top 6 batting depth now. First time all summer.we have had that luxury. Despite that, I still think he would still be ahead of Bailey when Clarke returns. Outside...

    Glenn James Maxwell - THE BIG SHOW...

    Ok. It's not all wades fault. That Cricinfo quote comes across as cocky. Some self harm there. Still feel sorry for him with the whole Big Show thing. Can't be helpful.

    Glenn James Maxwell - THE BIG SHOW...

    Wade is to blame. In hindsight, Maxwell should hate him for it. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/the-big-show-must-go-on-but-first-maxwell-has-to-learn-his-lines-20130201-2dpyw.html

    Glenn James Maxwell - THE BIG SHOW...

    How did he put that label on himself ? Wasn't it Brayshaw that started it ? I think Maxwell has indicated right from the word go that he hated it.

    2015 ODI WORLD CUP discussion thread

    I think he spent most of the week supporting the Captain.

    Sri Lanka tour of NZ

    I don't need convincing re Boult. Great bowler. Haven't seen Milne.

    Sri Lanka tour of NZ

    Yeah the extreme end is what I was referring too. Of Lee's 300 wickets, it felt like 150 of them were kiwis. Fair point re Boult. I suppose having him around would have to help, but I'm still not convinced. Be interesting to see if it translates to your batsmen in game day situations.

    Sri Lanka tour of NZ

    Sorry. I meant Finn.

    Sri Lanka tour of NZ

    Are you better at dealing with mid 140's type pace ? Been a long standing Achilles heel for NZ IMO. Not sure 12months of Pakistan, West Indies and Sri Lanka is evidence of too much. Id add England to SA and Australia. Broad, Anderson, Tremlett could roll you for not much.

    Big Bash League 2014/15

    Fitting end to a great tournament. Big Bash continues to entertain. More than happy to watch the domestic and fringe players as opposed to the established internationals. The players love it and it shows. For me, a BBL game is much more watchable than an international T20.
