2nd 3-Mobile Test @ Adelaide Oval:: Nov 28-Dec 2 :: Australia won by Inns and 62 runs

[Jobdog]

​

AUSTRALIA:
Ricky Ponting (capt), Matthew Hayden, Simon Katich, Mike Hussey, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Brad Haddin, Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Stuart Clark, Jason Krejza, Peter Siddle (12th man to be named)​

Starting XI :
Matthew Hayden, Simon Katich, Ricky Ponting (c), Michael Hussey, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Brad Haddin, Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Hauritz, Stuart Clark​

NEW ZEALAND
Starting XI:
Jamie How, Aaron Redmond, Jesse Ryder, Ross Taylor, Peter Fulton, Daniel Flynn, Brendon McCullum, Daniel Vettori, Tim Southee, Iain O'Brien, Chris Martin​

All pre-match discussion in here. For mine, Krejza in, Watson out for the Aussies. New Zealand will probably name the same side, although Mills would be a chance of a recall.​

LOL ... kyle mills would barely make the NSW second XI

now that we've broken the familiarity of slow wickets we'll tear away in adelaide ...

krejza to play the last of his test matches and duddles watson dropped out of the 12 all together

 

[Twizzle]

definitely need a spinner in Adelaide

Watson to carry the drinks

I also think this will give us a better look at just how good Southee is, as this wicket will not assist him as much as the Gabba did.

They better not drop Sunshine

 

[TheParraboy]

They better not drop Sunshine

he will be the logical 12th man

have a rest vacuuming for a week, you might go blind otherwise

 

[aussies1st]

They better not drop Sunshine

Don't worry you will still see his firm butt when he carries the drinks on

 

[lockyno1]

I am boycotting this match if Sunshine does not play

I'd rather see him bat. They better release him to play for QLD if he does not play!:x

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

LOL locky is scared! the inevitable is nigh

 

[lockyno1]

Should drop Symonds, Watson is a better bowler

I'd have the teams as follows;
Australia: Hayden, Katich, Ponting, Hussey, Clarke, Symonds, Haddin, Johnson, Lee, Krejza, Clark.

New Zealand: How, Redmond, Taylor, Fulton, Ryder, Flynn, McCullum, Vettori, Southee, O'Brien, Martin.

For mine that NZ side has better balance in the batting order, mixing aggression with grit and strokeplay. NZ bowlers did a pretty good job on a helpful wicket. Watson is the player to be dropped after a lackluster match with the bat.

If Haddin can't score any runs at Adelaide, our version of an Indian wicket complete with short square-of-the-wicket boundaries then surely he must be comming close to a tap on the shoulder.

Watson dropped from the 12 man squad for Siddle

Australia: Ricky Ponting (capt), Matthew Hayden, Simon Katich, Mike Hussey, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Brad Haddin, Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Stuart Clark, Jason Krejza, Peter Siddle (12th man to be named)

Watson has been dropped for the test and rightfully so IMO.. I am sure he will be back soon if he stays injury free though. Peter Siddle has been called into the 12 man squad..

 

[lockyno1]

Could not care less who wins this test now. Hope Symonds makes a duck.

 

[wittyfan]

Watson offered heaps too in this Test, a shame to see him dropped.

 

[TheParraboy]

Sunshine has an appaling record in 8 tests now, either batsman or bowler take your pick, he doesnt do either any good in test cricket

we cant keep holding his hand till he does something

Sook :roll:
