You reckon the cameraman had to show him how??

Team management probably superglued it there.

Notch looks pretty intimidating there. :lol:

About as intimidating as BM is his lol@50uff$ jersey.

Are people really considering leaving Lyon out? He's the best spinner we've got & while I'm the first to admit he hasn't consistently come up with the goods in the 4th innings, the bloke averages 33 ffs. Not brilliant numbers but pretty decent

More on the basis that there is rain around and 4 quicks are probably the most effective way. That said...they will play Lyon, it is the conservative option.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Just because Lyon is the pick of the kitty litter doesn't mean he should play.

If it's true that Watto will be bowling tomorrow then Lyon will play, no need for 5 quicks

Won't bowl long spells- at best 5 overs per innings and I mean at best!

Mate, you don't pick your team based on the weather.

 

[redvscotty]

You wouldn't pick a team on a lot of things but the Australian selectors would!

Notch with a full sleeve of ink

I've seen it all now

 

[TheParraboy]

All this talk from the media, from Johnson, from Johnsons mates in the media, from his team mates etc...

Has the guy got the mental toughness to deal with all this pressure. Hasn't had the toughness to deal with mom in the tabloids, nor the barmy army.

This could all get very sad and very ugly in his first spell

Throw some my way Mitch

 

[Xfactor1979]

Weather forecast is ok for the first couple of days
Before a big wet on saturday and sunday leaving us to watch other sports, do other things with our weekend

"It doesnt rain in Brisbane all that much"

 

[The Charlatan]

If I was a pommy fan, I'd be feeling pretty confident right about now.

Always happy to be proven wrong though.
