But but but but but Baliey scored one days runs in India on roads :roll:

And he is a good bloke :crazy:

Sadly i picked this, Doolan a much better prospect against the red ball.

We can only assume that he has been hitting them very, very well in the nets.

Oh no, not James Brayshaw in the commentary. Deary me, Ch9 are really scraping the bottom of the barrel. How many commentators do they have in the box? Must be close to 10. Will be so happy when the Boxing Day test comes around and Benaud and Lawry are back to replace deadbeats like Brayshaw

Jus give it to khawaja and let him grow into the role, technically he seems the best out of all the contenders just needs confidence.

I can't believe this is what Ashes Cricket has come to.

Well done England so far. 4 Days to go but my god Australia better have some good bowling up their sleeves.

The Rhino maybe 34 and injury-prone, but if there was ever a time we need him to bowl like he did in England, it will be when the Poms head out to bat. Also, he will need a lot of support from the other end (most likely Siddle, as I don't hold too much hope in Johnson)

He is one of the most harshly treated players by the selectors and hes the player capable of playing in the longest version of the game as opposed to a finding a t20 slogger (eg someone like Chris Lynn), he hasnt got a prolonged run in the side (like how they have given Steve Smith), just because he fails for a couple of innings, it doesnt mean hes going to fail for 10 straight test matches

Alright. Tiger Lyon take note on how Swann is bowling. A bit of flight, good accuracy. Not trying to get a wicket with every ball but attacking all the same. The pitch is giving him a bit of spin and plenty of bounce.

QFT
Reminds me of Amla (for more than one reason)
Amlas averaged less than 30 up until his 16th test. But the Saffer selectors stuck with him. Unfortunately our selectors lack the long term view and only looking for short term fixes ... the team won't succeed with this mind set.
 

Armageddon.

This trivia stuff is bullshit. As if they remember who took the first wicket in 2006 when they wouldn't remember something that happened 5 minutes ago.

Can't help but think Twatson's partly to blame for this debacle, if he bats out that last over before lunch then maybe, the scorecard wouldn't be as bad as it is now.
Twatto should be batting six or not at all, but because the selfish prick has a cry unless he's batting top 3.
