1st Chappell/Hadlee Trophy Match AUS v NZ @ WACA

[aussies1st]

Cmon Hopes keep it tight none of that rubbish.

 

[hineyrulz]

He's been dropped. He didn't even make the Northern Districts side for the final of our domestic competition.

He looked a handy player out here.....

 

[shiznit]

Johnson also had Guptil plumb LBW IMO so now thats even after the McCullum decision,

WTF is this get even bullsh*t... you think umpires plan it??

it gets even by the fact McCullum will get afew lucky breaks from time to time...

you just take it on the chin as it happens

Yeah no idea why he's been dropped. He didn't even come in as cover for Ryder as we decided on Cumming instead :crazy:

He looks a better test player, hasn`t been able to perform in limited overs.

 

[aussies1st]

Cmon Johnson back to that line not that leg side crap.

 

[shiznit]

he was just in poor form in the WI series... there just letting him go back to domestic cricket now to sort himself out...

but i think hes probably our No 3 in the test side...

 

[African Monkey]

LOL @ Gilchrist reading out that underbelly preview.

Couldn't do any worse than Fulton today.

I would have still bought him in instead of cumming and he didn't even play for ND yesterday.

One bowler short I reckon.. Hopes should be used as the 5th bowler Aussies need another front line bowler.

:roll:

Yes, after half a dozen replays and different camera angles/views it was out, but it's a left arm bolwer to a right hand batsmen, bowling across him, with bat and pad close together and two noises. A hundred of those could be bowled and I'd bet more often than not the umpire would say not out.

Besides two wrongs don't make a right, and I could argue if McCullum wasn't given out then Guptil might not of even been on strike for that ball.

In any case the McCullum decision makes up for the Hussey dismisal if anything. The Guptil not out was very difficult to give out no matter what replays/hawkeye had to say about it and I don't think any umpire could be blamed for giving that not out.

Q. What is the smallest bone in a sheeps body ?

A. an australians dick.

A Kiwi walks into the local unemployment office, marches straight up to the counter and says, "Hi! I hate being on welfare, I'd really rather have a job."

The clerk behind the Centrelink desk says, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur/bodyguard for his nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your clothes.

Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to escort her on her overseas holiday trips. You'll have a two-bedroom apartment above the garage.

The starting salary is $200,000 a year".

The Kiwi says, "You're bullsh*tting me!"

The Centrelink officer says, "Yeah, well, you started it".

 

[aussies1st]

Hilfy would have been useful today, would have got swing and keeping it tight.

Flynn had a bad ODI series against the Windies when he was batting at 5/6 and expected to up the tempo, which isn't his game. He can hit boundaries, but he's defensively very solid and a strong worker of the ball. He's a perfect number 3, but not an aggressive number 5/6 which was what NZ were looking for in those games.

Half those games were rain interrupted anyway. Pretty ridiculous selection IMO.

Yep tough decision for sure I am not complaining that is cricket you win some you lose some.

Johnson f*cks up in the field. Dropping Taylor could come back to haunt us

 

[Bazal]

Nuffy drops Taylor....could prove to be a big drop

 

[beads6]

Johnno I reckon you should have taken that.. I think it dropped on him.. Tait would have kicked it over the boundary though..

 

[hineyrulz]

Johnson drops Taylor
