He is better than any otehr spinner we have. Plus he has improved a lot in recent months. He'll be playing in Brisbane!

I agree with Locky
not a phrase we see very often around these parts ... was almost tempted to ask if you were on crack, then I read what you agreed to and I guess law of averages says he is bound to get something right eventually...

Love fashion but lets stick to cricket!

Haurie and Sunshine in the test side! What a tasty summer!

Has a better test record than any of the spinners we have currently and he does not go for 200 runs an innings!

just like Johnson, Siddle and Hilfy had the best 3 bowling averages in the ashes series

are you sure you're not Andrew Hlditch ?

He bowled well in the Ashes. Blame Ponting for not declaring earlier in Cardiff. Blame the batsmen for being s..t at Lords and the Oval. Hauritz did his job well and until Cullen Bailey is ready I am happy to have a defensive spinner in our side. Harris does a good job for South Africa playing that role.

He has a chance to win us a test match at Cardiff on a wicket turning sideways and he couldn't even bowl out the England 9, 10 or 11.

He had plenty of time, got nothing to do with our batsmen.

That proved to me what I have been saying, in that he is not a test cricketer.

No it proved how crap Ponting is as a captain. Why bat till the cows say hello? Why not declare when you are 150 ahead rather than 400 ahead! Plenty of time to roll them, then get the runs.

he had 2 hours to get the 9, 10 and 11 back in the pavilion

plenty of time if you are a test match spinner

It was still a very flat pitch. Heck every Australian batsman looked good on that pitch. The captain has to take some of the blame for not declaring earlier.
