1st Test - Australia v New Zealand Brisbane Dec 1 - Dec 5 2011

NZ has talent in their top 6.

Where? :lol:

Where? :lol:

I said talent, not brains. Mccullum, Taylor, Ryder, they can all bat. They're just f**kwits who throwaway their wickets.

And here come the Hughes haters. FMD, a century and 88 in his last 4 tests, and in this last one he really only got 1 oppurtunity. 3 centuries and 3 fifties in his first 16 tests. And he gets so much unwarranted hate. Meanwhile Khawaja (who I also am a fan of) only has 1 fifty in 5 tests and a lower average, yet we are ment to be picking him first and everyone wants Uz in at Hughes' expense when Watson and Marsh come back.

And keeping in mind he hasn't had it easy, 2 series away against South Africa and 5 Ashes tests. The majority of his career has been against the two best bowling attacks in the world.

Hughes has shown more than Ponting and Khawaja in the last 2 years. If he is dropped before either of them it would be further proof of these new selectors being as incompetent as the last ones.

Althought it looks like at best only one of Watson and Marsh will be fit for Hobart, or perhaps neither, and logic would say they'd drop Warner first.

But seriously, Hughes gets picked before Ponting, before Khawaja and way way way before Warner.

Crazy thing is even if Hughes gets a century in Hobart, there would still be haters not wanting him picked for India.

Will Watson or Marsh be back?

Surely if so Hughes is the first to go, or both Hughes and Warner?

Sad thing for us is we have little choice, and the guys that let us down most - Taylor, Ryder, McCullum are certs

none of them will be fit, my guess is Hughes will get one more chance, if he fails then I'd say he gone and Oozi and Marsh may open against India, or maybe even Warner and Oozi as Marsh seems to be injured more than he's not injured

If Hughes and Khawaja both were to fail, how could anyone possible argue the bloke with 1 fifty in 5 tests and a lower average gets picked ahead of the bloke with 3 100s 3 50s and a higher average in 16 tests?

Cummins in for Starc will be the only change in Hobart

NZ has talent in their top 6. If they actually use their head, and any sort of intelligence was missing in their first dig, it might not be so easy.

I still think we'll win, but in day 5 not day 4, and I think they'll put up a bit of fight and not just collapse in the first session.

At least that's what I'm hoping for. Our kids need to be pushed, giving them easy runs and wickets won't help in terms of preparation for India.

Dude watch me get proven right.

Kiwis to bat well and get a 200 run lead.

Hughes and Warner to blast away and get the 200 in about 30 overs. One of those two to get a century.

So you're anticipating New Zealand to bat well and post a sizeable lead yet you would have declared early and thrown 100 runs away making the 4th innings even harder

You can't even keep up with your own bullshit

Yes I'm predicting that they won't be completely shit, which is precisely why it would have been a bad idea to bat for 3 years. It's all simple logic.

Simple for me that is, but I'm on a whole other level you can't even comprehend. It's like I'm Charlie Sheen and you're one of the trolls he spoke of. I'm on another universe with my thinking.

Their top 6 can potentially put up a fight. Therefore we shouldn't have batted into day 4 (if we had the option) because if they did put up a fight, didn't bat like complete tards, they could have batted into day 5 and potentially gotten a draw (Monday forecasts possible showers).

I'm not taking the opposition too lightly, I'm not sure we have a bowling attack than can quickly get through them, and the weather is uncertain. All reasons why it would have been a bad idea to bat any longer than absolutely necessary.

We don't have Warne and Mcgrath anymore. Our bowling is our weak link now (at least until the kids get expierience), getting 20 wickets isn't the easy feat it once was. We have to give them as much time as possible to get those wickets.

5 sessions, like some were suggesting wasn't enough in a worst case scenario. Not with them batting within themselves, not with possible rain, not with the stupid "bad light" rule.

Hughes would want some runs in this test because that was an embarassing test match for him, sure the first innings was a good ball, but the 2nd innings was woeful. They won't risk Watson against the Kiwis.
