1st T20I - Australia v England Adelaide Oval Jan 12

[beads6]

The more I watch Australia play the more I see a crisis in coaching in selection and in amdinistration

 

[HevyDevy]

My obvious point is - if you have any observation skills - is that you don't stop picking the best players available just to develop young blokes.

And yes the Bulls discussed it two years before Jordan retired (the second time).

 

[HevyDevy]

Lemme get this straight, they haven't used Mike Young's services at all this summer's, but Langer hasn't missed a match :crazy:](*,)

Yep, they're all on the ball.

Lee retired from First class cricket due to injury. Clark had several injuries and has not been back to his best.... Your point is really invalid because neither player are deserving of selection or available.

locky's gunna do his nuts haha

Haha Watson on a hattrick, England are imploding for the second time this summer.

 

[Matt23]

Seriously in any other sport the coach would have been sacked by now...f**k off Tim Nielsen :arrow:

Lee retired because he knew he wouldn't be selected. For shame.

And Clark is STILL better than all Auusie bowlers.

I fear the selectors will consider themselves vindicated if we win a T20 ...

cat amongst the pigeons now with those 2 wickets.

Poms will probably take the foot off the gas a bit now and try to push 1s and 2s now. I still think they are favourites with only 20 odd to get, but its definitely much closer now.

We need Tait to be nice and tight here.... *gulp*

 

[beads6]

Shaun Tait is rubbish can you imagine him bowling 10 overs in an ODI?? I hope he gets injured I really do.

 

[HevyDevy]

And by the way Beads, all I'm saying is that Clark and Lee are better than Johnson, Hilf and Siddle. By far. Even now.

 

[Dragon]

cmon you merkins time to win one

 

[aussies1st]

Lol wtf are the English doing, they didn't need to go for the big shot.

Disagree Clark and Lee at there best for sure are better but right now I don't think they are. Clark has barely taken a wicket for NSW and Lee doesn't play First Class cricket because he body can;t hack it.

 

[Danish]

brett lee :lol:


Swan can bat, but we are favourites to win. This has a very 90s ODI feel to it

 

[aussies1st]

That could be the game there.

 

[HevyDevy]

Lee or Johnson Danish? Lee we never brilliant but Lee or Johnson? Obviously I'd pick Copeland ahead of him but f**k me. It's not even a contest.

Clark has been good this summer albeit without a heap of wickets. I'd pick him in a heartbeat.

We should ask Florentino Perez to have some fun signing DCM forms for Nielsen and co.

Watto!
