Here's Notch's chance to shine, cause he sure as shit isn't going to do f**k all with the ball.

Super Mitchy!!!

:lol: Patterson was lethal when he was on as well. Watson would have shit himself walking out to bat let alone facing up.

Have to admit the Pommy fielding has been outstanding as far.

Forgot about Patterson. Also, Ian Bishop - averaged 24 with the ball and one of the most deadly fast bowlers in the world on his day. Sadly, his career was greatly shortened by injury. His spell to Robin Smith on England's 1990 tour of the Windies has been described as one of the most lethal in test history.

 

[_snafu_]

Not sure whats worse ATM Australia's batting or Leeds Tardo's trolling.

lol I thought that myself, I couldn't be arsed responding.

"He looks like Ellen Degeneres," Warne says of Joe Root on the TV commentary.

So already Johnson has faced more deliveries than 3 of our top 6 batsmen.

And therein lies the Aussie problem in a nutshell. In any pressure situation it's a given that at least half our top 6 will fail and none of em will get to 50.

We made it to tea: we got dis

"Rare" false shots, keep the rubbish coming Heals.

 

[Hutty1986]

At least another hundred needed for us to be even remotely competitive

I'm more pissed off at the 3 guys who got starts and got our to pretty soft dismissals in perfect batting conditions.

Things we have learnt today:

1. We won't win this series
2. Silk MUST replace Rogers after this series
3. Clarke is not a number 4
4. Bailey picked off ODI flat pitches was a masterstroke...NOT!

Changes:

Out: Rogers, Bailey
In: Silk, Doolan

Watson dropped before anyone if he can't bowl 15+ overs an innings and bat at 6 or 7

5. Watson should not be batting in the top 3, bat 6 & bowl, or be replaced by Faulkner.

Thank god Jimmy is now back on, was just about to change it to Nien.

I agree that Faulkner needs to be in the XI..

He has got just enough merkin in him to make it in Tests..

We need tough characters in the side..
