We can go with Brad Haddins idea before they replaced Neville for Wade

Bat Wade at 5, Neville 6 as the keeper and pick 5 bowlers

Haddin is very hit and miss with his ideas.

Lol, did he actually suggest that? What a terrible idea.

Maddinson is no Quiney in test cricket...

True. Quiney looked more test standard!

 

[Incorrect]

I heard him on the radio the other day saying he thought Mohammed Amir should never have been allowed to play international cricket again.... I thought to myself, Geez, even rapists and murderers get a 2nd chance in society on occasion. Amir was 17 years old when he did something stupid, no doubt tempted by the $$'s in relation to where he comes from, and has served jail time and a 5 year ban already... He has done his time Hadd's!

Ryan Harris said the same thing, these guys need to pull their heads in. it is easy to maintain a moral compass when you are getting paid fairly and well. The guy was 17 at the time, being paid pittance and being directed by his captain to spot fix. That is not to say he should have done it but he well and truly served his time and absolutely deserves a 2nd chance.

If Smith bowled himself, he would have a batsman who bowls a bit.

Should pick your top 6 batsmen and if they bowl its a bonus.

Meh. Hadds and Harris are old school, they clearly believe there is no place for cheating in the game and I respect that. I don't agree with them in regards to Amir but they're entitled to hold that opinion

Haddin believes there's no place for cheating eh, that'll do me

Neil Broom and Dan Vettori might find that an amusing stance

Lol. Poorly trolled, 2.5/10

 

[JJ]

Haddin should have been banned for life, dog act that robbed Broom of an illustrious career

 

[Bazal]

I'll be honest I legit had to google the incident to even remember it...

Yeah, Asif and Butt I agree with but Amir was a 17 year old who was railroaded by his captain. He did a pretty heavy stint for what he did as a young bloke.

 

[JJ]

dog act, in the footsteps of Greg Dyer, role models

 

[Bazal]

Yeah, Asif and Butt I agree with but Amir was a 17 year old who was railroaded by his captain. He did a pretty heavy stint for what he did as a young bloke.

I agree. But cheating on that scale isn't on, so I can't fault anyone for thinking otherwise either.

 

[JJ]

Agree, except it was spot fixing not cheating... for cheating see the score mentioned Dyer and Haddin, or Warne... Amir should have blamed his mum

 

[Bazal]

Spot fixing is definitely cheating. Just a different kind.

Warne is a deadshit waste of oxygen but I don't think anyone seriously believes he was taking performance enhancing drugs

If your Shield form means bugger all when it comes to batting 6 in the test team, then i think that Travis Head has shown enough at International level to be the next in line. Bowls a bit too.

And he is absolutely smoking them in the nets.

yeah he did, I was waiting for either AB or Junior, who were sitting either side of him, to clip him acorss the ear

I think talent was what robbed Broom.
