I also sense a big ton from Rod Latham!

Martin Derptill

Martin Guptard

Already australia are getting way more pace and carry

 

[African Monkey]

Martin Guptill is a truly horrible test batsman. I'd hate to see his record if you take away his centuries against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

 

[Didgi]

These two don't have a clue.

 

[Pete Cash]

That was a bad call by the umpire. The ball would have knocked leg out the ground

He's f**king terrible...

The only reason he's in there is because he had a good run of form In the world cup.

Thankfully Latham looks like he's found a spot for himself after he was shuffled up and down the order a bit... He looks good as an opener.

If Brownlee could open I'd go with him... If not I'd move McCullum up to open... Maybe move Brownlee to 4 and Taylor to 5.

Latham looks a good solid bat, we have bowled pretty well but it's still a belter.

I don't know why they haven't gone with Brownlee at the top. The guy is very good against pace and has scored very well recently for ND, and has previously done very well for us on bouncy decks in Australia and SA.

Latham is fine. Still learning and he will make the odd error but he has a bright future. Nothing like Guptill who has never really got going at test level.

 

[Pete Cash]

Johnson looks plodding compared to Starc at the moment

 

[hineyrulz]

WTF is Smiffy on today??

Nobody wants to see that - another flat track bully, but the track needs to be flat and the attack poor

Seriously - Rutherford and Guptill shouldn't be there, and Brownlie and Flynn should be - Brownlie no question should be opening on Australian/RSA conditions

Good to see Smith intimidated by Kane - nice review :lol:

 

[hineyrulz]

Ozzie you poor bastard.

Someone's gotta try talk and talk us up.

 

[Red Bear]

Kookaburra needs to sort their balls out

 

[Pete Cash]

It's frankly disgraceful.

Kookaburra needs to sort their balls out

I reckon McCullum will look to call the game off

 

[TheParraboy]

Who replaces Khawaja for the Adelaide test?

Doubt he will be fit by then
